DUKE VS VIRGINIA TECH OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter spike05rk
- Start date
Hope we have the energy and effort like we did against Clemson, but I just don't see it. Our guys have to be a little drained emotionally. But we have the talent with or without Oak to win convincingly.
Duke 77-69
I would like to see us win without Tyus and Quinn recording 39 minutes again though

It's an ACC road game so I expect it will be another tough one. Tech has nothing to lose because they're not going anywhere, and knocking off Duke would make their season. They'll be loose and ready so we better be prepared.

I assume they got there safely in that godawful weather. They thaw out and stomp tech.

Tech has given us hard times here and there before, but they a or some good talent then.
I honestly can't name a single player on Techs team now, we will roll.

Agree OAD, they have their first sell-out since March of 2012, so it will be loud. I just don't think they have the horses to slow us down, with or without Okafor. Duke wins!
Go Duke!!

At this point in the year, with or without Jah, I just want the win. Does it matter by how much? Well, in the grand scheme of things if we go on the road to play this VT team and lose or only win by a small margin that could be bad. I would think with or without Jah we win this game going away. But, I am sure VT will play the game of their lives and give us all a scare. I will be at the store closing tonight dealing with crazy shoppers buying milk and eggs because of the impending snow scare. Yay retail management! However, I will be keeping my phone charged and be keeping up with all the goings on in the game. Hopefully, we whip the crap out of them, but who knows? LET"S GO DUKE!!!!!

Always a tough game for me to watch. Tech as been in games this season and they've been out of them. That is what you get in a transition period. Duke should win if they stick with the attack the rim method. I say it every year, but Cassell is not a shooters gym it just isn't. The way the seats retreat from view, the colors, the dim lights, all of that makes shooting very difficult. Attack the rim and Duke wins going away. Settle for threes and it could be a tight one.
Duke - Gah
Tech - Meh
It hurts either way. haha.

Aside from their in-state rivalry game against UVA -- where they mucked out a 50-47 loss (which speaks more to how consistent UVA can be offensively) -- Va Tech really hasn't been very competitive against top 20 type teams. A 31-pt. loss to WVU, a 15 pt. loss to Louisville, a 15 loss to UNC, and a 25 pt. loss to ND. While many of those games were on the road (save ND), there's no way around it --- this is a very bad team. If we play well, this will not be competitive. If we play poorly, then maybe they'll give us a bit of a fight. But, in the end, it would take a colossally bad game by us to lose.
When you play against Duke, the records are out. It's a completely different team along with the crowd. I hope it's an easy one but you never know. I am comforted in knowing this Duke team never quits.
I think Duke has settled in and the confidence is at full strength. Coach K has them dialed in and rolling.

Anyone with any Oakafor insight? I know they say game time decision, just curious if anyone has heard anything. Thanks,
Something should have leaked on Oak by now........ I'm not in on the Twitter world but it's gotta be out there as I'm sure the team has but he court by now...... Or close to it anyways
lol what? Worry about what?
Anywho just saw he is suppose to play, Laura Keely.
Either way, I just wanna see VT get murked.
Living in Hokieland I want to see us destroy them from the opening tip...run them completely out of their building from the jump and never let up....just so I can go to work tomorrow and listen to all the hokie fans complain about the refs and how they wasn't going to let Duke lose to VT...send a message and send it quick...no court rushing tonight in Blacksburg chumps
I really wish they would switch over to which game is more regional. Being in NC no one cares about Richmond and VCU, I doubt even people in Virginia care.
Can you believe this, OT?!!!! This is another reason I hate the late game, and you can't even pick it up on ESPNN, there is already a game there! Never fails, always running late before Duke. Oh well, hang in there.
Go Duke!!

They need to get rid of this VCU/Richmond game because we've already missed half of the first half.
