Hokies Open ACC Play With Showdown Against No. 5 Duke

The Virginia Tech Hokies (11-1) enter Saturday’s game at home at a sold-out Cassell Coliseum looking to continue a strong season with a win against the No. 5 Duke Blue Devils (13-1).

This of course, is easier said than done, as the Blue Devils are far-and-away the best team the Hokies have faced to date, and there is a strong chance that they are the best team that the Hokies will face all season long.

The Blue Devils’ strong 13-1 start includes victories over Michigan State and Florida, among others, with their lone blemish coming against Kansas by two in a neutral site game at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
