(NCAAB) Memphis vs. Virginia,
Point Spread: -6.00 | -105.00 Virginia (Home)
Result: Win
Virginia plays great defense and Memphis is in for a surprise today. Sometimes it takes a jolt in the first game of the dance to remind a team how good it is. And after watching Virginia rule the Atlantic Coast Conference with its No. 1 defense this past season, I think you're going to see that stingy kind of effort against Memphis today. The Cavaliers haven't allowed 70 points in a regulation game since Dec. 30, and now they get a Memphis team that is 3-7 against the betting line over its last 10 games. The Cavs are easily the more consistent team in this mactchup, and comes in having won 18 of their last 19 games. Memphis, on the other hand, has alternated losses and wins over its last seven games. Take Virginia tonight, as it rolls to the Sweet 16.
