Hokies Set to Challenge Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor: A Battle of Wits and Will

In their last game against the Florida State Seminoles, despite an impressive 81 points on the board with a solid two-point shooting percentage of fifty percent and an eighty percent success rate from the free-throw line, they fell short defensively allowing 89 points. This loss highlighted areas where Virginia Tech must tighten up if they wish to overcome their next opponents.


However, looking back at their home game against Miami (FL), we saw a different story where Virginia Tech dominated with 76 points while holding Miami to just 52. Their three-point shooting was consistent at thirty-five percent, and they excelled in free throws with an eighty-three percent completion rate. Moreover, they managed to convert turnovers into eighteen crucial points.

Against North Carolina State Wolfpack, it was a nail-biter as Virginia Tech edged out with just one point lead to win 63-62. Their two-point field goal percentage stood strong at forty-nine percent and once again showed efficiency from the charity stripe hitting seventy-five percent.


The upcoming game will test whether Virginia Tech can maintain its offensive efficiency while improving its defense against a formidable Duke team. Playing away is always challenging but focusing on minimizing turnovers and capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be key for the Hokies.


Fans can catch all the action live from Durham on January 19th at 8 PM Eastern Time on ACC Network channel 612.
