I just don't understand where the oddsmakers are coming from on this one.
I know VT has played Duke tough in the past, especially in Blacksburg, but this game has blowout written all over it to me. VT doesn't have Malcolm Delaney anymore! VT doesn't have a player on their roster averaging over 4 pts a game with any height. The Plumlee boys and Ryan Kelly should have a field day on the boards and Rivers, Curry and Dawkins will offset the rest of the VT scorers. That combined with Coach K's officiating pull makes this a no-brainer to me.
The more I think about it, the more I see this game winding up in the 76-60 range.
I'm making this one a 10*!
