What to Know

The Virginia Tech Hokies will take on the College of Charleston Cougars at 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday at TD Arena. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

It was a close one, but this past Friday Virginia Tech sidestepped the Penn State Nittany Lions for a 61-59 win. The Hokies can attribute much of their success to forward Grant Basile, who had 17 points along with three blocks.

Meanwhile, College of Charleston bagged a 74-64 victory over the Colorado State Rams this past Friday. College of Charleston got double-digit scores from five players: guard Jaylon Scott (12), forward Raekwon Horton (11), guard Reyne Smith (11), guard Pat Robinson III (11), and guard Ryan Larson (10).

Virginia Tech is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.

Virginia Tech is now a perfect 5-0 while the Cougars sit at 5-1. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Hokies rank 33rd in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 50.90% on the season. Less enviably, College of Charleston has allowed their opponents to shoot 48.60% from the floor on average, which is the 14th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against College of Charleston.
