Virginia Cavaliers v American Eagles Tipovi za kladjenje 23-12-2025

Virginia is a way better side here, and without doubt a heavy favorite to win tonight. I expect home team fully dedicated from the start, and with a furious offensive performance in the first half already, so for me over 72 pts in first half is a very good pick.

Virginia Cavaliers and American Eagles often start games at a high tempo, focusing on early offensive sets and quick scoring opportunities. Over 72 in the first half is supported by their willingness to push possessions and capitalize on fast breaks. With both teams likely to attack from the outset, the opening period should produce enough points to clear the line.

Under coach Ryan Odom, Virginia (10-1) has completely shed its slow-paced reputation, now ranking 6th nationally in offensive rating and averaging 86.5 points per game. The Cavaliers have hit the first-half over in 21 of their last 32 games, often overwhelming opponents early with elite three-point shooting (39.7%). American (7-5) contributes to this outlook, averaging 81.8 points and showing defensive vulnerability on the road, recently conceding 105 to VCU. With Virginia’s high-possession style and American’s tendency to engage in track meets against high-major opponents, the opening 20 minutes should easily surpass the 72.5 mark.
