ACC TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND -- Roy Williams said this is his least gifted team, and his team responded with a last-place finish in the ACC. Cole Anthony is already dreaming about the NBA, and let’s not forget that Virginia Tech beat Michigan State this year. I love the Hokies here.

ACC FIRST ROUND -- North Carolina comes into the ACC Tournament a healthy team that’s won three of its past four games. Led by freshman Cole Anthony and junior Garrison Brooks, the Heels will give Virginia Tech a tremendous fight. But the Hokies' offensive balance is better than North Carolina's. Grab Virginia Tech to cover and defeat the Tar Heels for a second time this year.

ACC FIRST ROUND -- My model says that the Hokies cover the spread well over 70 percent of the time, so you're getting great value playing them at this point spread. Virginia Tech won the battle between these schools in January, posting a double-overtime victory at home. The underdog is 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings. Take the Hokies and the points.
