Duke - 65                                   Virginia Tech - 58

Hokies   +13                      under 137

Last game of the night on National TV, I expect an all out effort from the Hokies in this one. I'll take the double digits.....Hokies -- under

Duke -13

Duke-13!!

Almost identical records (21-4/22-4)  VT's not even ranked

Weak schedule.................weak team.........

Good grief, Whale... who you talkin' about? 

Virginia Tech has non-conference wins this year against Georgia, Seton Hall, at Iowa, and at Penn State.  They're 8-3 in ACC play with wins over Wake Forest, North Carolina, Miami (FL), Boston College, Clemson, NC State, and swept two from bitter in-state rival UVa. 

Weak schedule?  Weak team?  Not exactly.

Virginia Tech +13

Hey... Tech's beaten Duke while the Blue Devils have been ranked #4, #5, and #7... I'd be thrilled, but hardly surprised, if the Hokies add this #6 squad to that list tonight.

I am a die hard Duke fan and -13 scares the hell out of me. VA Tech always brings their A game when playing Duke. I will probably tease also.

This line is just too high.  Delaney is the truth........and Duke is going to be in for a fight tonight. 

                                 Tech  + 12 1/2

duke has covered this many points at home against every team this year. they have also played two sunday night games already, both nationally televised, and covered easily. they just play really really well at home, there is no way i would go against them here.

Tough to take teams at Cameron.  You never know how they are going to react to the crowd.  If you fall behind early, jack up bad shots, or get into foul trouble, you could be in for a long night (UCLA at UW last night).  My initial thoughts were Virginia Tech and the over, but I am going to watch the first half and see the second half lines.  Virginia Tech is solid and playing some good ball lately, but Duke at home is a different animal.  BOL everyone.

The guy above who posted that Va Tech's schedule has been tough and listed the teams had me cracking up. I don't think any of those teams you listed are top 50 in rpi, except maybe clemson and wake forest. A lot of those teams aren't even top 100 in rpi. There is a reason that Lunardi has a 21-4 ACC team barely getting an at-large bid to the tourney... they have played a garbage preconference schedule and have played the bottomfeeders of the ACC.
