Player Prop #3: Jayden Pierre / Under Assists / 5.5 at -105 / 57% / Pierre’s assist rate drops to 18% in road/neutral games, facing Hokies’ stout guard defense that limits to 4.2 assists per opponent early in season.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public and money percentages align on a close game with slight Hokies favoritism, supporting a follow rather than fade, as no reverse line movement indicates sharp resistance. Both teams’ defensive efficiencies (around 95 points per 100 possessions) point to a lower-scoring affair under the total, with injuries minimal—Hopkins probable for Providence. Overall, the matchup favors controlled pace and Virginia Tech’s slight talent edge.
