Virginia at Clemson: Three things to know

  1. Virginia has won 4 in a row and 7 of 8, most recently knocking off Notre Dame 80-68 as a 9.5-point home favorite Wednesday. Seven-foot-one senior F Jay Huff sank 4 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 18 points, while senior F Sam Hauser and sophomore G Casey Morsell added 15 points each. Hauser leads the Cavs in scoring (13.8 points per game) and rebounding (7.5 RPG).
  2. Clemson is also on a 4-game win streak, but it hasn’t played since Jan. 5 – a 74-70 overtime home victory vs. NC State. The Tigers’ last two games (at North Carolina and at Syracuse) were postponed due to a positive COVID-19 test within the program. Senior F Aamir Simms leads the Tigers with 12.6 PPG and 5.8 RPG.
  3. Virginia owns a 10-game win streak vs. Clemson dating back to Feb. 7, 2013. The Cavaliers won the lone head-to-head matchup last season 51-44 but failed to cover as 7.5-point home favorites. The Tigers have actually covered two of their last three tilts in the series, but are 3-6-1 ATS in the last 10.

Virginia at Clemson: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Virginia 68, Clemson 63

Money line (ML)

PASS because it’s better to take the Cavaliers to cover than to pay more than -130 for the Virginia money line.

Against the spread (ATS)

VIRGINIA -1.5 (-120) is the right side in this game. The Cavaliers have covered four of their last five as favorites and the underdog is 3-8-1 ATS in the last 12 Virginia-Clemson meetings.

ATS: Virginia 6-4 | Clemson 6-3-1

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 116.5 (-115) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. While these ACC rivals feature top defenses, this number is just too low. I get it. Clemson ranks fifth in the country, allowing just 57.6 PPG, and Virginia is 13th at 60.3 PPG allowed.

The books have over-reacted partly because of last season’s 51-44 tilt. The Cavs held the Tigers to 14 first-half points in that one, and both teams were dreadful shooting-wise. Clemson was 17-for-52 (32.7%) from the field; Virginia was 17-for-46 (37.0%).

This season, Clemson’s field-goal percentage is 42.7%, and Virginia is at 49.7%. If they shoot like that, 117 total combined points shouldn’t be a problem.

O/U records: Virginia 5-5 | Clemson 5-5
