Virginia Tech's offense has come to life with the return of Hunter Cattoor, a double-digit scorer and 43% three-point shooter who missed four games (all losses) due to injury, and the Hokies have put up 78 and 85 points, respectively, in two-straight wins against Duke and Syracuse. Miami is in a big-time bounce back situation coming off a meltdown loss to Pitt over the weekend, and I think the urgency to come out and get right sparks a strong offensive performance from the Canes.

Fading the pro Miami hoops team but backing the collegiate one (although the Hurricanes' Nijel Pack is paid like a professional through his NIL deal). Virginia Tech comes off back-to-back home wins over Duke and Syracuse ... but is also 0-6 in true road games. Tech is 2-7 ATS in its past nine overall. Miami choked away what looked like a sure win at Pittsburgh on Saturday but doesn't like Saturdays, losing its past three. The Canes haven't lost on a weekday since Jan. 4 and are 11-0 at home. Keep an eye on the rebounding as UM has won 23 straight games over the last three years when outrebounding its opponent.
