Friars center Nate Watson is shooting 72 percent from the field while averaging 18.6 points and 6.2 rebounds. Watson and Providence's forwards should have a big night on the glass against Virginia. The Cavaliers are really struggling offensively and I think they'll be outclassed here.
The Friars are 5-0 on the season and already have taken down two Big Ten teams in Wisconsin and Northwestern. They now will face a Virginia team that struggles with an offensive efficiency rating that ranks them No. 156 in the country. No one has had an answer for Providence big man Nate Watson, who averages 18.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks. The Friars are a top-50 team rebounding the ball on the defensive end, while Virginia checks in 200 spots lower in the same category. Lay the small number with the better team on a neutral court.
