With one day of rest after a big Kansas State game (and win) the Hokies hosted the final regular season series against ACC opponent Duke. The Blue Devils haven’t been on the winning side of things this season. They were looking to move the needle somewhere and get some program momentum as the season closed out. Tech also was on a mission. The team had the first opportunity for a 40-win season since 2013. The Hokies also had the possibility of outright winning the ACC Coastal Division regular season championship for the first time since joining the conference. There was one other plus, and that would be earning a number 1 seed in the ACC tournament (sort of the de facto ACC Regular Season Championship).
