Virginia Tech vs NC State Prediction
NC State is the more talented team and has the ability to blow the doors off at home. However, Virginia Tech has been competitive this season, and without endless losses on last-second shots, we would be looking at the Hokies in a different light. Virginia Tech has had many heartbreaking losses, mainly on the road, but it’s also cashed tickets in those spots. We also can’t forget Virginia Tech has a win over Virginia. Virginia Tech is no pushover. This feels like too many points. Give me the Hokies.
