Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Championship Sunday
The Boston College Eagles (10-11, 9-12 ATS, 12-9 O/U) collide with the Virginia Cavaliers (15-3, 7-11 ATS, 10-8 O/U) in an ACC showdown on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles posted a home victory against Louisville on Wednesday. The Cavaliers recorded a solid road win against Wake Forest in their previous action. Virginia posted a 67-55 home win against Boston College in the lone meeting last season.
The Boston College Eagles are seeking a third consecutive victory. Boston College had a four-game losing streak earlier this month which included two road defeats and have replied nicely. They posted a dominating 84-72 road win against Notre Dame last weekend and were 9.5 point favorites in a convincing 75-65 home win against a horrible Louisville squad on Wednesday to improve to 4-6 in ACC play. They have covered the spread in three straight games.
Quinten Post has been marvelous since his season debut last month. The senior forward scored 29 points in the win against Notre Dame and 22 in Wednesday’s victory. Post has registered an average of 15.3 PPG and 6.5 RPG. Makei Ashton-Langford is inconsistent but is capable of big games. The senior guard has reached 20 points three times this year and has accrued an average of 12.9 PPG on 40% shootin g. Jaeden Zackery has shot 45% or lower in three consecutive bouts. The sophomore guard is third in team scoring with 10.6 PPG.
