College Basketball Odds
Virginia -6
Total: 118.5 points

The total is very low here as Virginia loves to slow down the game and play opponents in the 50s and 60s. The Cavaliers are the top-ranked team in the country in regards to adjusted defensive efficiency numbers, allowing only 82.8 points per 100 possessions to opponents according to KenPom.

Virginia on the court is allowing opponents to score only 53 points per game as well. That’s also the best mark in the country. The Cavaliers come into this contest with the top overall ranking in the polls, despite losing their last time out to Virginia Tech by a single point.

Miami recently lost as well, a 72-70 defeat at Boston College. Prior to that the Hurricanes had won three straight as they look to bolster an NCAA Tournament resume. Defensively they’re strong as well, yielding less than 67 points per game to opponents.

This looks like a game where possessions are going to count and the score is going to be lower. Virginia would have no problem winning this one in the 50s or 60s and they’re going to want to hang onto that top overall ranking.
