What will be the GAME RESULT?

Virginia Tech: Wins or Single Digit Loss

#3 Villanova: Wins By Double Digits

 

Current odds:

Virginia Tech Hokies: (+425)

Villanova Wildcats: (-550)

 

•  The line for this game is Villanova by 9.5 points.

• No. 3 Villanova will look for its third consecutive victory to open the season when it battles Virginia Tech on Saturday in a newly rescheduled game at Uncasville, Conn. The Wildcats (2-0) captured the 2K Empire Classic with an 83-74 win over No. 18 Arizona State on Thursday. The Hokies (1-0) took the Saturday matchup against Villanova in place of Temple, which was forced to pause all basketball activities due to COVID-19 issues.

• In Villanova’s win over the Sun Devils, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl scored a career-high 28 points on 11-of-17 shooting and sophomore Justin Moore registered his first-ever double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. After rallying from a nine-point, second-half deficit in the opener against Boston College, Villanova responded with a stellar performance against highly regarded Arizona State.

• Villanova entered the season with high expectations even with the loss of Saddiq Bey, a first-round NBA draft pick. Robinson-Earl has already proven in the first two games that he’s more than ready to step into a leadership role. Robinson-Earl had 18 points and 10 rebounds against Boston College and then was dominant against Arizona State.

• Virginia Tech won its season opener 77-62 over Radford on Wednesday. Keve Aluma scored a career-high 19 points and Nahiem Alleyne contributed 14 for the Hokies, who pulled away after leading by just six points at halftime. Aluma almost certainly will be the key to Virginia Tech’s success this season. He will look to continue his solid play against the Wildcats and beyond this season.
