CLEMSON vs VIRGINIA FREE PICK

The Virginia Cavaliers were well-prepared to beat Florida State on their home court and the Cavaliers have Louisville up next on Saturday. This puts Virginia in a tight spot where they have almost no preparation time for Clemson. Clemson was humiliated by Virginia on their home court last year and coach Brad Brownell has not forgotten about it. Clemson will be able to keep this game close considering the lack of offensive production for Virginia and the fact that Clemson has much more offensive talent and could possibly pull off an upset road win.
