NCAA 2019 FInals Prediction

We've reach the last college basketball game of the year tonight, and we have a good one in Texas Tech vs Virginia.  The Cavaliers have been thought of as the top dog almost all year with Duke, ranking 3rd in offense and 5th in defense according to kenpom.com.  Texas Tech has been a surprise this year, but they've one it through a stifling defense, ranking 1st in KenPom's numbers.  Both teams play a bit slower, aiding that defensive efficiency by limiting possessions. Tonight's game is likely to be low scoring, but it should be excellent to watch a pair of teams that are masters of their limited possessions work against each other. 

Virginia Wins 74.4%
