Hokies battle Blue Devils in Blacksburg
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
02/02/2012 -
Blacksburg, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The seventh-ranked Duke Blue Devils get back
to conference business, as they travel to Blacksburg to take on the Virginia Tech Hokies in an ACC matchup at Cassell Coliseum.
The Blue Devils took a break from conference action this past weekend with a
hard-fought 83-76 win over St. John's. With the win, Duke moved to 18-3 on the
season. At 5-1 in conference play, Duke trails only Florida State (6-1) and
North Carolina (6-1) in the league standings.
The Hokies are much further down the conference ladder, sitting just outside
of the league basement at 1-5. Virginia Tech has dropped two straight and six
of its last seven games, including a 73-69 setback at Maryland this past
weekend.
This is the 46th meeting in a series that dates back to 1912. Duke has won 15
of the last 18 meetings overall and three of the last four matchups at Cassell
Coliseum.
The Blue Devils built up a 22-point lead against St. John's and withstood a
late rally by the Red Storm to earn the win. Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee were
dominant in the frontcourt. Kelly finished with a game-high 16 points and nine
rebounds. Plumlee added his ninth double-double of the season with 15 points
and a career-high 17 rebounds, while Andre Dawkins and Austin Rivers tacked on
14 and 12 points, respectively. A balanced offensive attack, Duke is 12-1 on
the year when four or more players score double figures in a game. One of the
top scoring teams in the nation, Duke is shooting an efficient .489 from the
field, just under 40 percent from the floor, and putting up 80.3 ppg. Five
Blue Devils are currently averaging double figures, led by Rivers' 14.1 ppg.
Kelly (12.7 ppg), Seth Curry (12.2 ppg) and Dawkins (10.2 ppg) add to the
scoring deluge from the perimeter. Mason Plumlee has been a force down low,
converting 61.8 percent from the field and averaging a near double-double with
12.0 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
Four players notched double figures for Virginia Tech against Maryland, but it
wasn't enough to earn the win. Erick Green led the way in defeat with 18
points. Victor Davila and Dorenzo Hudson finished with 14 points apiece and
Jarell Eddie chipped in 11. Tech fell behind early, connecting on just 6-of-25
from the floor in the first half (.240) and wasn't able to recover. The Hokies
aren't the most explosive offensive team around, averaging a modest 67.7 ppg.
However, the team still boasts of a +6.6 scoring margin thanks to stellar
defensive play. Foes are averaging just 61.1 ppg, shooting under 40 percent
from the floor (.396) and well under 30 percent from behind the arc (.259).
Green leads the way with 15.9 ppg, shooting a healthy .472 from the floor.
Hudson is also in double figures at 11.9 ppg. Eddie is just under the mark at
9.9 ppg.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
