#648 ASA PLAY ON Georgia Tech -110 over Virginia, Wednesday at 12 PM ET - The Yellow Jackets have played really solid since late January winning 8 of their final 12 games including wins over Clemson & Louisville who tied for 2nd place in the ACC. They are coming off one of their more embarrassing performances of the season getting held to just 43 points @ Wake Forest (69-43 loss). Tech’s 43 points, 29.6% shooting from the floor and 13% from 3-point range against Wake Forest were all season lows and we expect a bounce back on Wednesday. UVA finished the ACC season with an 8-12 record and they had only 1 win vs a conference foe that finished the season with a winning ACC record. The Cavs 2nd best win of the conference season was at home vs this Georgia Tech team which was their only meeting of the season. UVA won that game 75-61 and they caught Tech in a flat spot coming off their back to back wins over Clemson & Louisville. The Cavs simply had one of those nights offensively averaging 1.27 PPP (they average 1.07 PPP) in that win which was their 2nd highest mark of the conference season. That was vs a GT defense that has been very good ranking 5th in the ACC allowing 1.05 PPP. You can bet the Jackets will be extra focused defensively after their poor performance over the weekend and that game @ Virginia still in the back of their minds. Believe it or not, they have a huge advantage on that end of the court as the Cavs rank 16th out of 18 ACC teams in defensive efficiency. On top of that, Virginia is the worst rebounding team in the league, the lowest scoring team in conference play average 66 PPG, and they rarely get to the FT line (324th nationally in percentage of points from the charity stripe). Tech is the better team, off one of their worst performances of the year, and we’re getting them near a pick-em here in a big revenge spot. We’ll take Georgia Tech.
