It's a White Out and a sellout at Cassell Coliseum, where the Dukies have lost five of their past six. The Hokies are an NCAA Tournament bubble team so they could really use a resume boost like this. Virginia Tech has the best field goal percentage overall in the ACC at 48.7 and also leads the ACC and ranks second nationally in free-throw percentage at 80.3. At least we can't lose ATS on a buzzer-beater with the hook.

Unlike years past, we don't have to fear picking against Duke, which loses (though not often, but it happens) and has several close escapes these days, such as Saturday's one-point nailbiter over Clemson. Duke has been dodging bullets left and right, and for a potentially-dominant big, Kyle Filipowski (17.7 ppg) sometimes disappears, with the occasional single-digit scoring output as against Clemson when he was also saddled by foul problems. VPI is hot with three wins in a row, and Mike Young's team still thinks it has a shot at the Dance with different contributors emerging (in the weekend romp past Georgia Tech it was 6-9 senior ex-Rice transfer F Mylyjael Poteat with 18 points). Play VPI

Duke has been dodging bullets left and right, the latest on Saturday in a one-point nailbiter over Clemson. Meanwhile, VPI is hot with three wins in a row, and Mike Young's team still thinks it has a shot at the Dance with different contributors emerging (in the weekend romp past Georgia Tech it was 6-9 senior ex-Rice transfer F Mylyjael Poteat with 18 points). The bottom line is that there are several potential contributors on both sides, and in ACC play, the only Hokies game that didn't approach or comfortably clear this 146 "total" was the game at slow-paced Virginia. Duke also 9-5-1 "over" into Blacksburg. Play Duke-VPI "Over"
