Bleacher Report referred to this game as a “upset in the making” – meaning the Hokies could possibly knock off the Duke Blue Devils with or without Grayson Allen. Well, Allen won’t be playing for Duke when they come to Blacksburg to face a hot Hokies squad.
On December 22 it was reported that the Duke basketball program suspended junior guard Allen “indefinitely”, now we don’t know what Duke’s meaning of “indefinitely” means but we do know he will not be suiting up for the team when they face Virginia Tech.
What does the loss of Allen mean though for the Hokies’ chance to pull off the upset over a highly favored Duke squad?
