02/28/2009 - Blacksburg, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The seventh-ranked Duke Blue Devils continue their late season run, as they invade the Cassell Coliseum this afternoon, for an ACC showdown with the Virginia Tech Hokies in Blacksburg.
With just three games to play, the Blue Devils trail league-leading North Carolina by just a single games in the standings. Mike Krzyzewski's team has turned things up a notch of late, winning three straight games, including a hard-fought 78-67 decision at Maryland this week. The victory in College Park pushed Duke's league mark to 9-4.
Seth Greenberg's Hokies are a few rungs down the conference ladder at 7-6, but the team did end a three-game slide recently, with an impressive 80-77 victory at nationally-ranked Clemson this week.
Still, Tech has not had much success against Duke over the years, with just seven wins in the 41 previous meetings. The Blue Devils are seeking the regular-season sweep after posting a rather easy 69-44 victory in Durham on January 4th.
Earlier in the season, Duke blew by Maryland (85-44), but this week the outcome was much closer, as the Blue Devils needed some timely shooting down the stretch to earn the victory. Gerald Henderson continued his strong play with 19 points, and was joined in double figures by freshman Elliot Williams (15 pts), Kyle Singler (13 pts) and Jon Scheyer (12 pts). Singler completed a double-double, with 10 rebounds, helping the Blue Devils earn a 39-28 advantage on the glass. One of the top teams in the country, it is no surprise that Duke has flourished at both ends of the floor this season. The team is putting up a healthy 79.1 ppg, while displaying strong defense as well at 64.7 ppg against. Henderson has definitely elevated his game, especially down the stretch, and is now leading Duke in scoring at 16.4 ppg. Singler is a perfect complement with his strong all-around game, averaging 16.0 ppg, while pacing the team in rebounding (7.9 rpg) and steals (46) and also ranking second in assists (74). Scheyer adds 13.8 ppg to the cause and is the team's top distributor (82 assists).
As a whole, Virginia Tech is not quite as explosive at the offensive end, averaging 72.3 ppg. However, the team does possess a potent trio of scorers in Malcolm Delaney, A.D. Vassallo and Jeff Allen. Delaney doesn't shoot the ball particularly well overall (.422), but does have 59 three-pointers to his credit, while leading the team in both scoring (18.8 ppg) and assists (102). Vassallo is another outside threat with a team-high 63 treys to this credit. The veteran is right behind Delaney in scoring at 18.4 ppg. The top player inside is forward Jeff Allen, who adds 14.0 ppg, while leading the way on the boards with nearly nine caroms per outing (8.8). Tech was able to end a three- game slide with a solid defense in the waning moments, earning a tough, three- point decision at Clemson this week. Delaney led the offensive charge with 26 points, followed by Vassallo, who poured in 21. Hank Thorns was the only other Hokie in double figures, adding 10 points.
