It might be tough to beat a team three times, but Virginia has had enough cushion in two wins this season to think they can cover the two-possession spread against NC State. Defensively, the Wolfpack have not been overly effective or sharp and the versatility of the Wahoos' bigs create some real matchup problems. Virginia won both games by double-digits and NC State never even held the lead in either defeat.

NC State and Virginia hook up in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament at Charlotte. Virginia has won and covered the last three meetings including two this season in which NC State was held to only 61 points. Both games stayed under. Virginia was 27-4 this season and had eight wins on the road. They're going to handle NC State as they have the last three meetings with that defense that allows only 39.7 shooting from the field. Virginia to win by 10 or more.
