Stephen Nover's April Game of Month - 33-15-1 CBB!
(NCAAB) Auburn vs. Virginia, 04/06/2019 2:09 PM, Score: 62 - 63
Point Spread: -5.00 | -110.00 Virginia (Home)
Result: Loss
Auburn is really going to miss Chuma Okeke. He's the Tigers' leading rebounder, top defender and third-leading scorer. The Tigers have gotten away with his absence by their long-range hot shooting. That's not going to work against Virginia. Not only do the Cavaliers give up the fewest points per game in the nation, but they rank in the top five in defensive field goal percentage, 3-point defense and defensive rebounding.

The Cavaliers haven't played up to their capabilities in the NCAA Tournament so far. I see them finally bringing their "A" game to the table here. The Cavaliers have covered 75 percent of their 20 non-home games this season. I trust them in this spot against this one-dimensional opponent missing its best player.
