Love VT -2 in this spot.........No question Collin Sexton is a top 3 player in this tourney but he just does not have alot of help around him.......Alabama comes into this game losing 6 of 8.......
This tourney proves year after year that FT% and 3 PT% are huge and Bama is among the worst in the country at both.......I just think V.Tech is an all around better and more capable team.......In the last 30 days they have wins VS Duke and @ Virginia......
Im not sure Bama even deserves a 9 seed - sure they play in a tough division but they finished under .500 in SEC play and their best N.C. win was vs Rhode Island which is OK I guess but they lost to Central Florida.......

As a VT fan, I love the way we match up with Bama. First... Devin WIlson is a solid defender and a senior, the best part is, he's not a scorer and doesn't care if he scores, he loves to defend and as a football player (walk on at VT) he's physical and will be physical with Sexton along with J Robinson on the perimeter. Wilson is also from Pitt (where the game will be played) There will be a large contigent of VT fans up in Pitt for this game.. Tech has been here before, this team is full of Juniors and 2 seniors that played Wisconsin to the wire last year. Bama is young, and while they had a nice 2 games in the SEC tourney, they weren't even .500 in the conference. Tech's Defense has been very good the last 5 games, I usually don't like to wager on my team, but I will be on VT heavy in this game.

All season the consenus has been the B12 has been the toughest conference out there in the sports media......An argument can be made that SEC is better because they won the challenge I guess.
Who do you like in this particular match-up - VT/Bama?

Originally However, Alabama has a huge edge in ORs and BLKs. If VT loses, it will be because they couldn't keep Bama off the boards.
Rebel, you some how boxed your quote under my name.
Fair point.........But they are terrible at 3 PT shooting and free throw shooting (among worst in country at both) those are key stats in this tourney........All around VT the better team and I think they cover this small line (-2)

On VT as well (shocker) but I rarely bet my own team..I also really like us First half over Bama, Tech is a top 28th in First half scoring, bama down at #193. VT 25th in offensive eff. Bama is #206..
.After the loss to Notre Dame too, I expect the team to come out very strong in the fist half.. I'm putting a good amount down on FH and FG.
