Losing to NC State in the fashion that they did clearly left a bad taste in the mouths of the Blue Devils. At home against Virginia Tech Saturday night gave the Blue Devils a chance to respond and redeem. Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s team did just that. Being home cured all the ails for the young Blue Devils and a renewed intensity on both ends of the floor in the friendly confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke began the game on an 11-2 run, on the strength of hitting 5 of their first 6 three-point shots. Duke followed that up with a 21-14 run putting the game out of reach.
