Virginia Tech has won the last four games over Louisville 

Louisville Just keeps winning Games

Louisville is still not getting talked about enough for how good this team is, and they keep beating up on teams. Two games ago against Notre Dame, they won 75-60, and in the last game against Florida State, they secured an 89-81 victory. They were outscored 50-44 in the second half, but they had a big enough lead to hold on for the win. Louisville shot 50 percent from the field, holding Florida State to only 23.5 percent from deep. It was a new game, but the same story as Chucky Hepburn had a huge game, putting up 29 points, three rebounds, and two assists. 

Louisville sits with a 21-6 record overall, and they have gone 16-11 against the spread. The Cardinals want to push the pace, and they average 79.9 points per game. The defense at times, hasn’t been elite, but the offense and the balanced attack usually make up for any struggles the defense has had. This team made one of the best off-season transfer portal pickups, bringing in Chucky Hepburn. Hepburn is averaging 15.6 points on the season, shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from behind the three-point line. Louisville will face Pittsburgh following this one.

Why Louisville Will Beat VT

• Louisville has won each of its last eight night games.
• Virginia Tech has lost each of its last four games at Cassell Coliseum.
• Virginia Tech has lost the first half in four of its last five games against the Atlantic Coast Conference at Cassell Coliseum.

Can Virginia Tech Build on the Last Game?

Virginia Tech has not been good most of the season, but they are coming off a victory, given it was against a Miami Hurricanes team that has only six wins. VT’s offense scored 43 points in the second half, enough for the 13-point victory. Virginia Tech shot 52.5 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from behind the three-point line. The only player to score in double figures was Jaydon Young, who scored 27 points, three assists, and two rebounds. 

Virginia Tech has a 12-15 record overall, and they have gone 11-16 against the spread. Virginia Tech is averaging 69.1 points, while their defense is giving up 71.7 points per game. They want to get shots up from deep and are hitting 35.6 percent of those attempts, which is 88th in the league. Tobi Lawal has been the top player for the Hokies, averaging 12.9 points while shooting 56.8 percent from the field. 

Louisville vs Virginia Tech Prediction

This Louisville squad is 8-2 away from home, and it’s not like Virginia Tech has the home-court advantage they used to have. The Hokies are currently 7-7 at home. Virginia Tech’s offense doesn’t have enough guys to light up the scoreboard, which will significantly impact this game. Louisville averages 79.9 points per game, and Chucky Hepburn will light up the scoreboard again. Virginia Tech is 0-4 against the spread in their last four home games. Louisville’s offense is going to be way too much, and they will cruise. Back Louisville to win this game and cover the spread. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
