Virginia Tech vs South Carolina Prediction 

Virginia Tech comes into this matchup after losing their last three games and they have only scored 64, 64, and 63 points in those three games. South Carolina has dropped two of their last three, but they do have the better shooting percentage in this matchup. I haven’t been impressed with either team in this game to be honest, but I am going to fade Virginia Tech and their terrible shooting percentage. Take South Carolina here.
