The set-up: Virginia Tech finished 15-8, losing to UNC in the Conference Tournament, hwile Florida finished 14-9, losing to Tenneesee in its Tournament. Virginia Tech struggled down the stretch, losing two of its final three. In the loss to the Tar Heels it allowed 81 points.

The pick: The Gators issues this year revolve around their offense, but clearly they catch a break here facing this struggling Hokies defense. Florida has to push the pace here and break out of its offensive slump if it has any hopes at competing. Expect each to push the pace and for this one to fly "over" as it comes down the stretch.

This is an 8* TOTAL TOURNEY PLAY-BOOK on the OVER VT/Florida.
