Road wins in the ACC are usually scarce, the Hokies will not be afraid of the Devils one bit, and Seth Greenberg always has a great gameplan against the Dukies...With that said, a Hokie win should be tough to come by.
The Hokies beat Duke at Duke last year but let's face it, Duke wasn't Duke last year. In fact, their greatest weakness was defending athletic guards off the dribble last year. The problem for the Hokies this year is that they don't have Zabien Dowdell, a 1st-Team All-ACC performer and Jamont Gordon. This is a team that plays 7 freshmen and only has four upperclassmen to lean on. Even though if you think about it, Duke only has 3 upperclassmen that play minutes in Paulus, Nelson, and McClure.
The inexperienced Hokies should surcome to Duke's pressure and I see the Devils pulling away late.
Let's hope a 'W' in Blacksburg will be easier than this one...
I CAN WATCH THIS ALL DAY LONG!!!!

Also, no Allen for Va Tech - second leading scorer and (maybe more importantly) their leading rebounder is out for tonight. I see it being close as Duke looks forward to the matchup against Maryland and coming off the physical battle against Clemson, but they should get the win.
