Everything is clicking for Duke. They've gone exclusively to a zone defense and haven't allowed more than 57 points in four straight games. Duke's 6-11 freshman Marvin Bagley III came back the last game from an injury and had 19 points and 7 boards in Saturday's 60-44 win over Syracuse. He leads the ACC in scoring (21.1) and rebounding (11.2). The Blue Devils are on a 12-4-1 ATS run on the road. They match up well with a Virginia Tech squad that is on a 4-3 straight up run, losing twice as chalk. Virginia Tech fell back onto the NCAA Tournament bubble following Saturday's 75-68 loss to Louisville as a 4-point favorite. The last time the Hokies were an underdog was 12 days ago in a 74-52 loss at Duke. The Blue Devils shot 50% and won the rebounding battle 36-19. And that was without Bagley, who was injured. Duke holds a 46-9 lead in the all-time series and rolls again today. Play Duke.
