#648 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Virginia Tech -5 over Clemson, Wednesday at 7 PM ET - These two just met on Saturday @ Clemson and the Tigers pulled out a 63-59 win. The Hokies came into that game on a red hot run winning 9 of their previous 10 games. They played well below their offensive averages on Saturday putting up just 0.97 PPP (they average 1.13 PPP – 28th nationally) and shot just 37% for the game (they average 47% on the season). They are also one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the nation (4th hitting 39% of their triples) yet made just 30% in Saturday’s loss. Clemson pretty much hit their average with 1.04 PPP but weren’t able to pull away at home in a game that was tight throughout. The Tigers largest lead of the entire game was 6 points despite Tech’s poor offensive performance. Now we get a shot with the better team with quick revenge. Clemson is coming off a win yesterday over last place NC State (won by 6) but shot only 42% vs the worst defense in the ACC. Tonight the Tigers face a team that is better offensively, better defensively, and nearly beat them on the road despite playing poorly. We’ll lay this short number with Va Tech.
