On Monday night these two Atlantic Coast Conference teams will face off in a game that could have huge implications for the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and potentially even the NCAA tournament as well. Both of these teams are having successful seasons, and both of them will be looking to pick up a quality victory here in this game on Monday night as the Duke Blue Devils face off with the Virginia Tech Hokies in this marquee conference match up to kick off the final week of January.
Duke has put together a quality start to the regular season and they have been solid throughout conference play and they will look to keep the momentum rolling in this game on Monday night on the road against Virginia Tech. Although this is not your typical Duke team, that is a powerhouse within the country, they are certainly on the verge of becoming one this season as long as they continue to rack up victories throughout the rest of the regular season, and they can remain consistent in the conference tournament. Kyle Filipowski has led the way for Duke throughout the early part of the regular season, and he will look to maintain his solid run of play with another quality performance in this marquee conference match up here on Monday night against the Hokies.
This would be a huge win for a Duke team that is looking to finish in the top four of the Atlantic Coast Conference, and get a double bye in the conference tournament. Duke comes into this game with 15 victories through their first 19 games of the regular season and they will look to pick up their 16th win of the year here on Monday night against Virginia Tech. They are currently the 12th ranked team in the country, and they will look to get into the top 10 with another string of quality performances, and it starts with a solid victory here in this one.

Virginia Tech is putting together a respectable season and they have an opportunity to get a huge résumé boosting victory with a solid performance here at home on Monday night against Duke. Virginia Tech comes into this game with 13 victories through their first 20 games of the regular season and they have an opportunity to pick up their 14th victory of the year here in this one in front of their home fans. This would be a massive momentum boost victory for the Virginia Tech Hokies if they could get the job done here at home in Blacksburg and it would put a huge victory on their résumé into the final week of January with the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament right around the corner.
It has been a slow start to conference play for them as they have lost four out of their first nine games within the conference, and they will look for their sixth conference victory of the season here on Monday night at home. It certainly feels like a must win game for Virginia Tech if they want to remain in the race for the top four in the Atlantic Coast Conference, heading into the final month of the year. They have found some success as of late as they come into this game on a three game-winning streak with their previous two victories coming at home, and now they will look for a fourth consecutive victory and a third consecutive victory at home here, on Monday night against Duke.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Duke is 11-3 after a win
- Duke is 15-4 as a favorite
- Virginia Tech is 3-4 as an underdog
I expect this to be a close, and competitive contest throughout the majority of it, but in the end, I do look for the Duke Blue Devils to pick up the victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies on the road in Blacksburg. As I look for Duke star power to pull away late in this game and help them pick up a much-needed victory here in this one on Monday night as they look to put themselves on top of the Atlantic Coast Conference heading into the final month of the regular season.
