Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Sean Pedulla / Over Points / 14.5 at -115 / 70% / Pedulla averages 16.2 PPG in home games this season, exploiting Virginia’s perimeter defense that allows 12.8 opponent 3s per game.
Player Prop #2: Reece Beekman / Over Assists / 5.5 at -110 / 65% / Beekman has hit 6+ assists in 8 of 12 ACC games, benefiting from Virginia Tech’s turnover-prone backcourt (14.5 TOPG).
Player Prop #3: Isaac McKie / Under Rebounds / 4.5 at -105 / 68% / McKie pulls down just 3.8 RPG against top rebounding teams like VT (top-40 defensive rebounding rate), limited by matchup size disadvantage.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Virginia, but sharp money flow toward Virginia Tech creates a divergent market, justifying a fade on the favorite with VT’s home advantage and defensive metrics. Both squads emphasize slow tempo and stout defense, pointing to a low-scoring affair under the total. Overall, the game’s scoring outlook remains conservative, with projected totals around 125 based on current season efficiencies.
