Projected Scoring Margin: Duke by 1.8 | ||
Actual Scoring Margin: Duke by 2 |
Such an even game. Duke never trailed (until OTs 2 and 4, when VT got the ball first) but never led by more than 8 either. The Blue Devils were able to tilt the field in their favor and create more scoring opportunities, but Tech did a better job of milking points from opportunities and had the more efficient offense. And somehow, in 32 possessions, neither team had a turnover. Tough to pull that one off.
Since Duke was able to come out with a win, the Blue Devils are now very much the favorites to win the ACC Coastal. They remain a legitimate top-20 team, while UNC and Pitt are both barely staying in the top 50. Of course, Duke was a pretty big favorite at this point last year, too ... got to avoid that November collapse this time around.
