Does defense win games? Yes, and that’s obvious because two of the best, the Virginia Cavaliers and the Texas Tech Red Raiders, will be squaring off tonight in Minneapolis to decide who is the nation’s best. The Cavs rank #1 in the country in defense, holding opponents to an average of just 55.5 points per game. The Red Raiders are right behind them, allowing an average of 58.8 points per game, but if they want to win this one, they had better be clicking on every cylinder because Virginia has the edge in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, defense, rebounding and bench.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VIRGINIA CAVALIERS M/L
