Duke will try and stay on track for the ACC title as they travel to Virginia on Wednesday. The Blue Devils are coming off a tough 87-86 win at North Carolina State on Saturday. The Blue Devils were behind by as many as 13 points in the second half but they ended the game on a 14-5 run. "Everything was going for (N.C. State), but the thing about it is, we pulled together as a team," said guard DeMarcus Nelson, "It just clicked for us - in the last 8 minutes, we started making the plays that we needed to win." SBG Global reports that early NCAA Basketball betting has the public taking Duke on the Road.
The win against N.C. State was the 800th in the career of head coach Mike Krzyzewski. He is sixth all-time among coaches. The Blue Devils will be facing a Virginia team that has won three of their last four games including a 76-74 win at Georgia Tech on Monday. Calvin Baker scored five of his 10 points in the final minute as Virginia got the win. Duke has won 10 of the last 11 meetings with Virginia, but lost last year at Charlottesville 68-66 in overtime. The Blue Devils will have to deal with Sean Singletary who is third in the ACC in scoring at 19.7 points per game. Earlier this season he had 18 points but Virginia lost at Duke 87-65.
