What to Know

The Virginia Tech Hokies are on the road again Wednesday and play against the #10 Virginia Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 18 at John Paul Jones Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Cavaliers winning the first 54-52 at home and Virginia Tech taking the second 62-53.

Virginia Tech came up short against the Syracuse Orange last week, falling 82-72. Despite the defeat, Virginia Tech got a solid performance out of forward Grant Basile, who dropped a double-double on 26 points and ten boards.

Meanwhile, Virginia was able to grind out a solid win over the Florida State Seminoles this past Saturday, winning 67-58. Among those leading the charge for Virginia was guard Armaan Franklin, who had 20 points in addition to seven rebounds.

The Hokies are expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Now might not be the best time to take Virginia Tech against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past five consecutive games.
