This is a terrible pace matchup here for NC who is at their best in tempo.

VT plays at the 16th slowest pace in the country and they will grind it in the half-court.

The Hokies have won six straight games and 13 of their last 15 home games. They play well offensively at home where they are scoring more than 74 points per game while making 50% of their shots. They lead the ACC in three-point percentage and they’re making 41% of their three-point shots at home.

The Tar Heels have struggled offensively on the road, giving up more than 80 points per game. They are 280th in the country, when it comes to defending the three-pointer and allowed their last three opponents to make 49% of their three-point shots, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Hokies. The Hokies have also played defensively at home, holding opponents under 60 points per game and held their last three opponents under 55 points per game. We are backing VT at home to get the win and cover here as our College Game of the Week!
