Duke Blue Devils vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Prediction
This matchup features Boston College’s slower tempo and mid‑range scoring against a Duke team that has been dominant at home and has been far more efficient on both ends of the floor this season. Boston College has shown stretches of competitive play, but Duke’s scoring depth, defensive pressure and overwhelming home court edge create a difficult matchup for an Eagles team that has struggled to keep pace with top tier conference opponents. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Duke Blue Devils in this game.
