Virginia Tech Hokies NCAA Basketball Betting
The Hokies didn’t do enough this season to make it into the NCAA Tournament, but they will be playing in the NIT Tournament. The Hokies will go on the road to face the Cincinnati Bearcats on Wednesday night. Virginia Tech was a bubble team in terms of making the NCAA Tournament, so it remains to be seen how excited they will be to play in the NIT, especially on the road.
The Bearcats won over 20 games this season but they were never really a threat to either Houston or Memphis in the American Athletic Conference. This could be a high scoring game on Wednesday night, as the Hokies averaged over 74 points per game this season and gave up over 69 points per game and Cincinnati was even better on offense, as they scored more than 79 points per game.
