- Analysis
- *4 Star Play Under* The Virginia Cavaliers defense has been underrated all year long. Virginia is 5th in the nation in effective field goal percentage defense. They are second nationally in blocked shots percentage. They have been excellent at keeping teams out of the paint with their two elite shot blockers.
According to Haslametrics, Virginia is 4th in near proximity defense. Wright State ranks in the top 35 in the country in most shots taken at near proximity. They are looking to get into the paint, and I think they'll find it very difficult to get the looks they have gotten throughout the majority of the season.
Virginia is 271st in overall tempo nationally. The Cavs do have an advantage on offense here, and I think they'll score their fair share of points. Still, Virginia has shown a willingness to let off the gas with a large lead.
The unders with a large spread in the Round of 64 have been very profitable in the last 15 or 20 years.
A neutral floor and an early start time with an elite defense as the favorite.
Take the under.
