Two exceptional coaches will lead their teams to the finale of the ESPN Events Invitational. FAU and Virginia Tech had contrasting finishes to their seasons in the spring. Now, both have the chance to boost their confidence by winning a MTE in early November.

Let’s delve into the matchup and make a pick and prediction for FAU vs. Virginia Tech.

Despite a shocking home loss to Bryant, Dusty May’s FAU Owls have quickly rebounded with impressive wins over an improved Butler roster and a tough Texas A&M team. FAU’s impressive 96-point output against Texas A&M, known for its defensive intensity, is a testament to their resilience. FAU’s depth may allow it to maintain an up-tempo pace and play with energy, thanks to a comfortable rotation of eight players.

Johnell Davis, a veteran player with valuable experience, leads FAU’s squad unafraid of major spots like this. The Owls also boast Vlad Goldin, their 7-foot-1 junior center who has consistently proven to be their best player this season.

On the other hand, the Hokies, led by coach Mike Young, are back on track with promising results this season. Virginia Tech is powered by impressive shooter and scorer Sean Pedulla, complemented by the explosive scoring ability of Hunter Cattoor. Lynn Kidd, a surprise standout this season, will likely be tasked with slowing down FAU’s Goldin.

Both teams have shown tendencies to favor the “over” early in the season, but I lean towards the under for this matchup. Expect these veteran coaches to limit transition opportunities for the opposition.

Prediction: Under 153 (Bet to 151.5)
