Virginia Cavaliers
Virginia enjoyed a successful start to the month of February. The Wahoos enter this one on a four-game winning streak, including a strong road victory over Duke. UVA defeated Georgia Tech at home over the weekend, 63-53.
Tony Bennett’s team is annually among the most stingiest in the country, and that’s no different this year, as the Cavs only allow 59.5 points per game.
The Cavs have been powered by transfer portal signees Jayden Gardner (East Carolina) and Armaan Franklin (Indiana). Gardner had a big game in the home win over the Yellow Jackets, scoring a season-high 26 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. The 6’6 forward leads the Cavs with 14.9 ppg and 6.8 rpg.
Franklin scored a game-high 22 points in the win over Miami, and he’s second on the team in scoring (11.9).
He’s joined by veteran point guard Kihei Clark, who’s averaging 10.1 ppg, 3.2 rpg, and 4.1 apg.
Reece Beekman joins Clark in the backcourt, while Kadin Shedrick joins Gardner in the frontcourt. Beekman hit one of the biggest shots in school history in the upset win over Duke. The 6’3 guard is posting solid averages of 7.7 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.1 spg, and a team-leading 4.9 apg.
Shedrick (6.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg) also had a big game against Duke, going a perfect 8-8 for a season-high 16 points.
Virginia Tech Hokies
Virginia Tech comes into this one on a five-game winning streak themselves. Tech beat Pittsburgh in back-to-back games last week, with the Hokies winning 74-47 at home on Monday. VT followed that up with a home win over Syracuse on Saturday.
Keve Aluma returned after a strong first season in Blacksburg. The Wofford transfer has six double-doubles on the season, including a 25/10 line in Cameron Indoor Stadium against Duke. The 6’9 senior scored 24 points in the win over Georgia Tech and he leads the team with 15.5 ppg, while grabbing 6.2 rpg.
Hunter Cattoor is a sniper whose been given more free reign this season. The 6’4 guard scored a season-high 21 points in the win over St. Bonaventure, going 5-5 from deep. Cattoor is second on the team in scoring (10.6), while leading the ACC in three-point shooting at 45.7%.

Free Virginia Cavaliers vs. Virginia Tech Hokies NCAAB Prediction: Syracuse to Cover
Tech has a chance to a avenge a one-point loss in Charlottesville, but I love what I’ve seen from this UVA team over the past three weeks.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Syracuse +8.5 (-110)
The first meeting was intense, and although I won’t have the luxury of attending this go-round, we could be in for another contested battle. The Cavs have shown the ability to keep games close consistently due to their methodical pace of play and I love spotting this smart, tactical team points here on the road. Ending the Hokies five-game winning streak, while extending their own should provide a little added motivation too.
Spot UVA the points Monday night, and give their ML and the manageable over looks as well.
