Short turnaround for a trip to Blacksburg. It goes without saying that Duke will lose this game. Ideally some lessons are learned.
VT is an interesting team in that they don’t turn it over and don’t cause turnovers, and they don’t commit fouls and don’t draw fouls. This should be a relative free-flowing game. Basically, possessions are going to end with a field goal attempt.
VT’s best player on paper is Grant Basile, a stretch center. He is, of course, a 5th year senior transfer (from Wright State). He’s not spectacular but he’s putting up good efficiency on pretty high usage, while shooting 39% from 3. VT’s entire starting lineup shoots over 33% from 3 and they have two guys shooting 41%. Tough matchup.
