The Cavaliers are seeking their first Final Four appearance since 1984,
while the Boilermakers haven’t reached the national semifinals since
1980. Virginia used its signature stifling defense to squeeze past
Oregon 53–49 in the Sweet 16 on Thursday night.
Conversely, Purdue put on one of the most impressive offensive displays
of the NCAA Tournament to knock off Tennessee 99–94 in overtime.
The Cavaliers are 4.5-point favorites and the over-under for total
points scored is 126 in the latest Virginia vs. Purdue odds. Before you

predictions, check out what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

plays.

16 teams straight-up. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now the model has dialed in on Virginia vs. Purdue. We can tell you it
is leaning over, and it has a strong against-the-spread pick that hits
in well over 50 percent of simulations. That pick is only available at
SportsLine.
The model knows Virginia is hungry to reach its first Final Four under
coach Tony Bennett. The accomplishment would serve as the ultimate
comeback after last year’s postseason in which Virginia became the first
1-seed ever to fall to a 16-seed.
The Cavaliers already have faced their share of challenges to reach the
Elite 8. They fell behind by 14 early and looked tentative in their
first-round matchup against Gardner-Webb before pulling away behind a
dominant second half for a 71–56 victory. On Thursday, Virginia battled
against an Oregon club that made a late-season surge to the Pac-12
Tournament title and two NCAA Tournament victories by using a
Virginia-like formula of sturdy defense and deliberate offense.
The Ducks took a 45–42 lead on a Louis King three-pointer with 5:44
left. It would be their last field goal of the game, and Ty Jerome put
Virginia ahead for good at 48–45 with his own three-pointer two minutes
later.
Jerome led four Virginia players in double-figures with 13 points and
six boards. The Cavaliers held Oregon to 37.8 percent shooting and owned
a 34–31 rebounding edge.
But just because the Cavaliers boast a suffocating defense doesn’t mean
they’ll cover the Virginia vs. Purdue spread on Saturday.
The Boilermakers appeared headed to a blowout victory Thursday as
scoring leader Carsen Edwards buried a slew of jumpers. Purdue built a
40–28 halftime lead and extended the margin to 18 before an experienced
and resilient Tennessee club came storming back.
the Boilermakers withstood the onslaught mostly on the strength of a memorable barrage of three-pointers from Ryan Cline.
Edwards, who finished with 29 points, hit two free throws to force
overtime and Purdue dominated in the extra session. The win and cover
made the Boilermarkers an astounding 41–19 against the spread in their
last 60 non-conference games.
