Virginia and Virginia Tech will renew their bitter rivalry in the Commonwealth on Saturday as the Cavs visit Cassell Coliseum to tip-off a loaded day of college basketball.

The Cavaliers sit a half-game behind Clemson atop the ACC standings at 9-2.

Meanwhile, the Hokies are languishing at 3-8 in the league and in desperate need of a repeat of last season’s red-hot end of the year run.

Just when it appeared the Hokies were turning the corner — with wins against Duke and Syracuse — Virginia Tech lost on Tuesday in Miami after a poor final five minutes.

Virginia won the first meeting between these two programs by 10 points on Jan. 18, setting up this potential revenge spot.

Matchups between these two programs tend to be extremely slow-paced and methodical, especially since Mike Young arrived at Virginia Tech. The first meeting was anything but, a sign of the weaknesses of both interior defenses this season.

It’s still a low total because of the lack of possessions, but I’m not targeting the total like last meeting.

Instead, this is a prime Hokies spot at home against a Virginia team at the top of its market rating.

The market knows that Virginia Tech is much better than its record and has had it priced accordingly in the last couple weeks.

Virginia could shoot 62% from 2 and get 10 more free throws once again like it did in the first meeting in Charlottesville, but more than likely, the Cavaliers’ offense will regress from its market-rated current highs.
