What to Know
Get ready for an ACC battle as the #2 Duke Blue Devils and the Virginia Tech Hokies will face off at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
Duke took their game at home on Saturday with ease, bagging an 87-56 victory over the Elon Phoenix. The Blue Devils got double-digit scores from four players: guard Trevor Keels (19), forward Wendell Moore Jr. (12), forward Paolo Banchero (12), and guard Jeremy Roach (11).
Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Virginia Tech against the St. Bonaventure Bonnies last week as the squad secured an 86-49 win. Among those leading the charge for Virginia Tech was guard Hunter Cattoor, who shot 5-for-5 from beyond the arc and finished with 21 points and five boards.
Duke is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (6-3-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.
Their wins bumped Duke to 10-1 and the Hokies to 8-4. Both the Blue Devils and Virginia Tech have easy wins in recent memory. We’ll see which one’s ego takes a hit when they face off.
