Colorado State vs Virginia Prediction

This line is moving in Colorado State’s favor heading into Tuesday’s matchup with Virginia.

The Rams are up to -2 as they lost to eventual champion New Mexico in the Mountain West Conference semifinals. 

Colorado State sits 31 spots higher in KenPom ahead of Virginia as the Cavaliers were eliminated by eventual champion North Carolina State in the ACC tournament.

UVA owns a dreadful 2-6 SU and ATS record in the underdog role this season as all six losses came by double-digits.

The Rams is 5-2 SU/ATS as a favorite of five points or less, including victories over Colorado, New Mexico, and San Diego State.

Virginia posted the worst 2-point shooting and free-throw shooting numbers in ACC play, although they ranked 2nd in league action in 3-point shooting.

On the flip side, Colorado State was the best team in MWC play defending 2-point shots by limiting foes to 46.5% shooting.

Pick: Colorado State -2.5 (-110)
