One of the most anticipated matchups in the inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge will take place Wednesday night as the Auburn Tigers play host to the Virginia Tech Hokies at Neville Arena.
Auburn bounced back from a season-opening loss to Baylor to win four consecutive games, while Virginia Tech suffered a heavy defeat in the title game of the ESPN Events Invitational by FAU on Sunday.
The Hokies had a tough time on the road last season, losing nine out of 11 games. They are now aiming to pull off an upset against the Tigers, who are ranked 16th in the latest KenPom ratings.
Last season, Virginia Tech showed promise with a strong start, but they struggled in conference play and finished 8-12. They are now off to a 5-2 start this season, but they need to improve their performance on the court.
Mike Young’s team is attempting to recover from a tough loss to FAU, where they were unable to make effective three-point shots and struggled with low free throw attempts.
On the other hand, Auburn has shown strong defensive performance, enabling them to limit their opponents’ three-point shooting to 22.4%, which is second-best in the country.
Heading into Wednesday’s action, the Tigers are ranked 16th in the KenPom ratings and have proven to be a strong defensive team.
Ultimately, this game looks to be in favor of Auburn, considering Virginia Tech’s struggles on the road since last season. Our betting pick for this game is Auburn -9.5 (Play to -10).
