Duke lost a hard-fought game to Virginia Tech Monday night, 78-75. We can absolutely live with Duke’s effort, especially from Kyle Filopowski, who was brilliant, but Dariq Whitehead left early in the second half with an injury that did not look good.
Whitehead jumped for a ball and grabbed his calf in the air and immediately headed to the bench. He was assisted to the locker room and later returned, on crutches, to watch the end.
Duke started out brilliantly, running to a 7-0 lead before Virginia Tech heated up. The Hokies shot out to a 29-19 lead and Duke looked shaky.
