Six straight losses for Virginia Tech but I expect the Hokies to grab a win they desperately need in this game. In the first meeting, Clemson scored the 68-65 win. But the SQ data had Virginia Tech with a 90% probability of winning that game, so I would definitely classify the Tigers winning as a very misleading result. Another key here involves the injury situation. Hunter Catoor returned to action for the Hokies last game and his outside shooting is something needed for an offense that just has not been as efficient without him. On the flip side, Clemson is likely to be shorthanded. The Tigers are probably going to be minus point guard Chase Hunter and indications are Alex Hemenway is still out. This leaves Clemson shorthanded in the backcourt and I think the Tigers offense might struggle here. I will take the bucket but fully expect Virginia Tech to win this outright.

LINE NOTE: HOKIES ARE GOOD AS 4% PLAY AS AN UNDERDOG. THE CLEMSON INJURY SITUATION COULD FLIP THIS LINE. SHOULD IT GET TO PICK 'EM OR VA TECH AS THE FAVORITE REDUCE TO 3%.
