Virginia Tech Hokies vs Virginia Cavaliers 1/18/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The Virginia Tech Hokies will go against the #10 Virginia Cavaliers in NCAAB action in John Paul Jones Arena, VA, on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, at 7:00 PM ET.

 

This year, Virginia Tech had a great start, defeating 11 of their first 12 matches. During that time, the Hokies defeated Oklahoma State, Dayton, and then-No. 18 North Carolina.

 

Since then, they dropped five straight games, beginning with an overtime defeat to Boston College four days before Christmas.

 

Virginia Tech also lost to Wake Forest, Clemson, NC State, and Syracuse before losing by 10 points to the Orange last Wednesday. The Hokies are in the middle of a three-game road trip that will end on Saturday with a rematch versus Clemson.

 

Cattoor is undoubtedly Virginia Tech’s finest defender. He averages 9.6 points per game and has the team’s second-highest 3-point shooting percentage (40.3%). He had a poor shooting night against Syracuse, as the Hokies enabled the Orange to score their most points of the year and shoot 50.8% from the field.

 

With Cattoor out, Virginia Tech’s top scorer, Sean Pedulla (16.8), shot only 29.7% from the field. For Virginia Tech’s benefit, Cattoor is anticipated to show up on Wednesday.

 

  • The Virginia Tech Hokies are 0-5 SU in their last 5 matches. 
  • The Hokies are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games with the Cavaliers. 
  • Virginia is 5-15 SU in their last 20 matches against Virginia.

Virginia Tech Hokies vs Virginia Cavaliers Predictions 1/18/2023

 

With its 3 defeats coming against then-No. 5 Houston, then-No. 22 Miami, and on the road at Pittsburgh, Virginia did a good job of handling business versus weaker competition this season.

 

Through their first eight matches, the Cavaliers were undefeated, including victories over then-No. 19 Illinois, then-No. 5 Michigan, and then-No. 5 Baylor.

 

After losing to Pittsburgh, they recovered with three victories over Syracuse, North Carolina, and Florida State.

 

For the first time since 2013–14, the Cavaliers swept Florida State during the regular season, led by Armaan Franklin’s 20 points and 7 rebounds.

 

Ben Vander Plas, a forward, finished with 15 points and seven rebounds. He also made 7 of his 13 attempts from beyond the arc.

 

With only six turnovers, Virginia improved to No. 13 nationally in turnover rate. The low turnover rate is hardly surprising considering the Cavaliers’ fourth-place experience ranking.

 

  • The Virginia Cavaliers are 5-1 SU in their last 6 matches. 
  • The total went UNDER in 5 of Virginia’s last 5 outings with Virginia Tech. 
  • The Cavaliers are 8-1 SU in their last 9 matches at home.

Virginia Tech Hokies vs #10 Virginia Cavaliers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Virginia Tech Hokies. The betting market vastly overestimated the Cavaliers because they only covered the spread twice in their last 12 games.

 

On Wednesday, Virginia Tech is slated to start with its greatest defender back in the lineup. The Hokies suffered greatly as a result of Cattoor’s absence, but it’s important to remember that they started the season 11-1 while he was on the floor.

 

Due to his anticipated comeback and the fact that Virginia Tech will be playing a team that is overrated, the Hokies may have some hidden value. The Virginia Tech Hokies will win to a predicted score of 66-61.
