The Hokies’ impressive 11-1 record this season will be put to the test as they host the #5 Duke Blue Devils (12-1) on New Year’s Eve. Think of any cliché to describe a great team – well coached, talented, disciplined – and the Blue Devils exemplify it. That has not changed for seemingly forever, and it will not change as long as Krzyzewski is in charge.
Duke was picked by many pundits to make a run at not only the ACC Championship, but the National Championship. They certainly have not disappointed – their sole loss through thirteen games was to #3 Kansas as Frank Mason III hit a jumper with seconds remaining.
