No. 5 Auburn Tigers vs. No. 1 Virginia Cavaliers (-5.5)
Total: 131
BPI line: Virginia -7.8
On the other side of the court, a Virginia team that ranked top-five in 3-point shooting this season, at more than 40 percent, shot just 29.8 percent in the tournament. The Cavaliers still won all three (and covered in two). Auburn will take a ton of 3s, and if any of the 3-point luck that has gone against Virginia flips the other way, this could wind up getting ugly. The number is short, regardless. Take Virginia.
