Virginia vs. Notre Dame CBB Prediction:
Both teams are seeking consecutive wins as they square off in South Bend.
Take the over here. This is a very low total and for good reason, but I think both teams have enough talent to push the game over the total. Notre dame has shot the ball slightly better at home this season. I also think we see start to see some improvement on their outside shooting as they are averaging an awful 27% from downtown. UVA led by Reece Beekman and Jacob Groves should be able to space the floor and knock down enough shots to avoid many scoring droughts for Virginia. Over is the play.
