Virginia Tech beats Duke in ACC championship: THE HOKIES ARE ACC CHAMPIONS

The Virginia Tech Hokies defeated the Duke Blue Devils 82-67 to win the ACC Tournament. Your Virginia Tech Hokies are ACC champions for the first time in school history. It’s Tech’s first conference championship since 1979, when the Hokies were members of the old Metro Conference.

Much like in the previous two wins over Notre Dame and North Carolina, the outcome of this game was never truly in doubt. Tech started hot, but the Duke came back. The Hokies again got hot before the half, going into the break with a 42-39 lead.

The second half was a completely different story.
