Bryant vs Virginia Tech Prediction
I’ll lean toward Virginia Tech. The Hokies are looking pretty good so far this season despite a couple of sketchy halves here and there. Virginia Tech didn’t shoot very well versus Charlotte in their last game though (36.7 percent) and got outscored in the paint 30-24. The Hokies were saved by a rough performance at the line (15-of-24 for 62.5 percent) by the Niners, but did control the ball well with just five turnovers. In each of their four outings so far, Virginia Tech has scored 84 or more points. It wouldn’t be surprising to see them hit that threshold again on Wednesday, but I’d like to see that shooting percentage come up quite a bit as well.
