The Wolfpack had a pretty easy time of it in beating Virginia Tech to advance to the next round of the ACC Tournament.\u00a0 Now it is Virginia, a team they lost to earlier during the season setting off a mini-slump. <\/p>\n
N.C. State Wolfpack (22-9) vs Virginia Cavaliers (21-10)<\/strong> ATS Matchup Stats<\/a> | Gambling Insight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Check out our in-house Handicapper!!! Buy Razor Ray’s CBB Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Cavs exposed the N.C. State as a team that is talented but doesn\u2019t really like to work. \u00a0It was hardly a surprise but this team is capable of more.<\/p>\n They have failed to live up to expectations thus far but the Tournament could be their chance.<\/p>\n N.C. State prefers a back and forth game that lets their offensive talents shine. \u00a0They scored 80 points against VT led surprisingly by burly forward Richard Howell with 22. \u00a0<\/p>\n As usual C.J. Leslie is the key. \u00a0He is often the most talented player on the floor but doesn\u2019t always play like it.<\/p>\n When they lost to Virginia previously he was very productive but the rest of the team didn\u2019t back him up. \u00a0I think they will all be better this time around.<\/p>\n I like the Wolfpack to prevail this time around and I see good value in then at -1.5. \u00a0The last game was decided by three points in favour of UVA but N.C. State has the talent to potentially run and hide from the Cavs. \u00a0Some degree of advantage playing in their home state too.<\/p>\n They are most likely in but a little more wouldn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n I know they play good defense and I know they win but I am just not sold on Virginia as being a good team. \u00a0They finished tied with the Wolfpack at 11-7 in the ACC but dropped four of their last 7 games. [ad-6571516]<\/p>\n They won the tie-breaker so they avoided playing yesterday but I am not sure it will wind up being an advantage. \u00a0As usual they will try and control the pace but I am not sure it will be enough.<\/p>\n Even more important to UVA than Leslie is to NCSU is guard Joe Harris, who is averaging 17ppg. \u00a0In fact after Harris the Cavs have only one player scoring more than 7ppg – forward Akil Mitchell who is going to find it hard with Howell muscling him up. \u00a0If those players underperform it is hard to see who even has the capacity to step in and get a few buckets.<\/p>\n They all play defense and smart but scoring is important too.<\/p>\n To be fair I think there are rare situations where I will be on the UVA side. \u00a0After Harris their scoring is super limited and I just don\u2019t trust them to perform on my command so to speak.<\/p>\n Another win over N.C. State would not be a shocker but I can\u2019t see the value against playing on the Cavs side.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0N.C.
