What to Know

The Virginia Tech Hokies and the #23 Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes are even-steven against one another since February of 2016 (8-8), but not for long. The Hokies and Miami (Fla.) will face off in an ACC battle at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at Watsco Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with Miami (Fla.) winning the first 78-75 on the road and Virginia Tech taking the second 71-70.

Virginia Tech didn't have too much trouble with the Syracuse Orange at home this past Saturday as they won 85-70. Virginia Tech got double-digit scores from four players: forward Grant Basile (25), guard Hunter Cattoor (20), forward Justyn Mutts (11), and guard Michael Collins Jr. (11).

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes were close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 71-68 to the Pittsburgh Panthers. The losing side was boosted by guard Jordan Miller, who had 18 points.

The Hokies are expected to lose this next one by 4. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
