Virginia always play their toughest basketball at home. Their defense is solid and they can defend the 3 well as well as they can shoot the 3. This matchup is always a tighter lower scoring affair, but VT on the road are not as good, as they have lost all their road games so far this season, and haven't covered them either. The Cavaliers know how to get the win against this interstate rival and they have some good wins at home like Texas A&M and Syracuse, so look for them to win and cover as this is a nice bounce back spot from their two recent losses. VT are 0-3 ATS this season and 3-10 ATS in the last three seasons as a road underdog. Virginia are 1-0 ATS this season and 10-3 ATS in the last three seasons after playing a game as a road underdog.
