Virginia Tech - Clemson (-2) A lot of matches in today's NCAAB program, and I'm starting with ACC with Clemson Tigers going to VTech to play with Hokies.
2-1 at the Clemson Conference with an away win and 2-1 ats in these matches. Vtech is at 1-2 with two defeats in (series) and 1-2 ats as a whole.
Clemson is coming from home against Duke (72-59). Elite Clemson's defense team possessing the 1 defense in America (58 Passive Points at the Conference) while playing excellent regional defense this year. 3's last games have kept their opponents under 40% shooting (34% with the Duke) while they have received over 60 points this year only twice in 15 total games. Other numbers that stand out for the Tigers are the negative 58 in the attack and close to 40% shooting, while the rebounds are more than 30.
VTech did not start well at the conference, and defeat to BC was 59-62's disappointment. In another match, the team showed the problems in the attack as it only scored 57 with odds close to 35%, while it has a fabulous percentage of shots so far at the 54%! Huge weakness for the team close to the basket as it allows opponents to pick up about 40 rebounds. If he did not play and a little defense would have huge problems, this year's conference numbers are passive 65 points.
3-12 3 last year ATS VTech in January, while at home against Clemson from 97 'and then back 4-3 on the ATS, with 1-1 3 last year.
The numbers fit well here for the Tigers who are in better condition. Their strength (defense) will be found against the weakness of the Hokies (attack) with the difference being really big. Clemson may not score freely but he will not find a defensive fear against him today and his superiority near the basket I think will help tonight in scoring with several second chances. Apart from the three-pointer, I do not see anything working properly for Vtech, while the last defeat as it came is likely to have affected them psychologically. In the basket the handicap for Clemson I find good, available in most companies. Clemson -2 @ 1.90 at Bet365.
