Free Betting Pick: Virginia Tech Hokies -10
The Virginia Tech Hokies have been one of the top teams in the ACC all season long, and they will only be better for the NCAA Tournament as they are receiving back the services of Justin Robinson after missing the last 11 games. Virginia Tech is shooting the three-pointer at a high percentage this season, and given Saint Louis offensive inconsistencies, I don’t think they can keep pace. Kerry Blackshear Jr. will look to establish himself inside early on and open up the corners for the three-pointer. Virginia Tech wins and covers, 73-58.
