Good news: it's a win in a Quad 1 game, and there are no more teams named Tech on Duke's schedule. The live stats become a box score.

A comfortable ACC road win when we shoot 5-21 from 3? I'll take it.
A stealthy 7/7/4 game from an under the weather Caleb Foster.
Defense travels!

I love how mentally tough this team is. Virginia Tech kept coming and we held firm, even when we had that 0-10 from three stretch. A great win in a very difficult environment.

There were several references to it during the game.
And our non-bigs only 1-12 from 3 with most wide open. The D was generally strong.

I'm not sure "comfortable" is the adjective I'd have chosen for the game. Last couple minutes, perhaps...

VT starters besides Hansberry were 1-17 from 3; Hokies were 0-8 from 3 with ball and down 6-8 points
Both Caleb and Dame were sick but both played some for us. It was mainly our bigs and inside game that carried the day. Cam, Maliq and Big Pat got that done for us. Caleb toughed it out and h ad a decent game. The rest of our scorers didn't show much. Evans scored inside but couldn't hit a 3. Others seemed reluctant to try to score. We seemed slow to get the loose balls. Still we won in double digits on the road which says a lot for how good this team can be. We only gave up 58 points for another defensive statement. Hope they get well soon.

Yes. Foster and Sarr were both said to be nit feeling well, which is why the starting line-up was changed.
It was an ugly shooting day from 3 for both. Even worse for VT
