On Friday night the Duke Blue Devils made the site experts of Ball Durham look like Nostradamus-es with their predictions for Friday night's game, as the Blue Devils defeated Virginia Tech, 77-63.
In the first half, Duke looked tired and sluggish after traveling back to Durham from East Lansing on Tuesday night, arriving back on campus at 4:00am EST Wednesday morning and then heading out to Blacksburg on Thursday.
Duke led 3-2 in the opening minutes but then trailed by as many as nine in the first half, and only able to cut the Hokies lead to one as the Blue Devils trailed by three entering the locker room.
