SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The No. 20 ranked Hokies of Virginia Tech look to rebound and head into South Bend for a difficult road game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Bettors are keying into what could be potential upset brewing in the ACC Wednesday. Virginia Tech has been solid so far in 2021, but just suffered a major loss in the form of starting guard Tyrece Radford.

This has led to the Hokies being just the slightest of favorites via the odds on the online sportsbooks.

ACC Basketball – 1/27/21

  • Virginia Tech -115
  • Notre Dame -105
  • Spread: VT -1.0
  • Over/Under: 139.5

The Hokies are already coming off of a shocking 18-point loss to Syracuse on Saturday and were hoping to stop the bleeding against a capable Notre Dame team Wednesday night.

Now, the news of Radford being suspended indefinitely from all team activities has hit the team at a pivotal point in the season.

Radford was arrested Sunday and charged with one misdemeanor count of first-offense driving while intoxicated and one misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed weapon.

The Hokies have guard depth, but will likely be unable to instantly replace Radford’s 11.1 points per game and 6.6 assists per game.

The turmoil in the Hokies’ locker room has those looking to bet on college basketball looking at the upset potential of Notre Dame.

The Irish fell to Virginia Tech in their first meeting earlier this month 77-63, but have been playing better as of late with wins over Miami and Boston College.

While the Hokies are still the better team overall, Notre Dame has a huge edge in the confidence department with VT losing a star player and coming off a huge loss.
