Colorado State vs Virginia Tech Prediction
I’ll stick with Virginia Tech I suppose. The Hokies didn’t have too many issues with a struggling Bryant team in their last outing, despite going an ugly 14-of-24 (58.3 percent) from the line and a tepid 4-of-16 (25 percent) from outside. Otherwise VA Tech notched 51.7 percent from the field and a 37-22 rebounding edge in addition to a 46-30 advantage on points in the paint. It was a good job up front, and Virginia Tech now has 78 or more points in all five games so far this season.
As for Colorado State, they shot well (48.7 percent) and were competitive on both the boards (a 29-20 edge) and in the paint (22-22) in their loss to Denver. The Rams gave up 50.7 percent shooting on the other side though, while the Pioneers committed just three turnovers in a very disciplined game. Colorado State has been scoring great all year though, with 80 or more points in every outing. This matchup has the makings of a high-scoring shootout if both teams are on point.
