Duke upset by Virignia Tech in Blacksburg; snaps five-game winning streak | News & Observer

When Duke and Virginia Tech played in Durham earlier this month, the Hokies never had a shot.

The Blue Devils dominated from start to finish and ended up beating them 74-52. But Virginia Tech was having none of that in Blacksburg on Monday.

Duke, which had won five consecutive games, and was playing some of its best basketball, struggled at times during the game offensively and defensively. And Virginia Tech just played hard. Whenever the fifth-ranked Blue Devils went on a run, the Hokies answered back.

Duke led by nine points with five minutes left, but Virginia Tech ended the game on a 13-3 run to win 64-63.
