Duke vs Virginia Tech Preview
Duke will look to win head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final ACC tournament championship game on Saturday.
“I’m trying to get away from all that. It’s really too much,” Krzyzewski said according to Mike Barber of the Richmond-Times Dispatch. “It’s their season. So it’s all about them. It is. I don’t want to be a distraction to them. This is their season, especially now. Especially now. They only get it once. I’ve had it numerous times. It’s all theirs, and I’m going to try to do my best to help them in their season.”
The longtime Duke coach has led the Blue Devils to 15 previous titles. Duke as shot at a No. 1 seed with a victory over Virginia Tech. ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi has Duke projected as a No. 2 seed.
“I feel like it’s big, not only for me, but for our team,” Virginia Tech guard Darius Madox said per Barber. “Definitely send our seniors out the right way.”
Virginia Tech may need to win its first-ever ACC title game appearance to make the Big Dance. The Hokies didn’t have a strong schedule according to CBS Sports, but wins over Notre Dame and North Carolina in the ACC tournament help.
The Hokies barely made it this far, opening the tournament with a 76-75 win over Clemson in overtime on Wednesday, March 9. Maddox hit a game-winning three-pointer for the Hokies with 6.3 seconds left in the game to win it.
Virginia Tech didn’t bask in the glow too long and took care of business against Notre Dame with an 87-80 win on Thursday, March 10. Keve Aluma led the way for the Hokies with 20 points.
The Hokies then beat UNC 72-59 in the semifinals on Friday, March 11. Aluma led the Hokies again with 18 points.
“We’ll win [Saturday] if we can defend and we can rebound,” Hokies head coach Mike Young said per Barber. “Can we defend Duke? Can we rebound with Banchero and A.J. Griffin and those others? Tall order.”
Duke bounced Miami 80-76 from the tournament in Friday’s semifinals. A.J. Griffin buried 3-4 free throws during final 16 seconds for Duke to ice the game.
