No. 5 DUKE 69, VIRGINIA TECH 44 Hey, Hokies it’s not football. Thirteen points in the second half is not good offensive production. Yes, that’s not a misprint – thirteen.
Kyle Singler scored 19 points and Gerald Henderson added 15 points, Nolan Smith had 13 and Jon Scheyer finished with 11 for the Blue Devils (12-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).
The Blue Devils held Virginia Tech to for-18 shooting and outrebounded them 22-10. Duke also outscored Virginia Tech 30-9 over the final 17 minutes of the game.
Hokie Coach Seth Greenberg had made comments earlier about how much he enjoyed his trips to Cameron Indoor Stadium having upset Duke there last visit. He might be rethinking that after last night’s game. "Going into the 16-minute (media) timeout, we had a chance to win," Greenberg said. "And
then we stunk it up."Malcolm Delaney scored 12 points to lead the Hokies (9-5, 0-1). Leading scorer A.D. Vassallo was held to seven points -- 12 below his average -- and didn't score on 0-of-2 shooting in the second half. Those two and Jeff Allen were a combined 2-for-8 in the final 20 minutes.
The Hokies shot 36.7 percent and committed 18 turnovers in losing its eighth straight game against AP Top 25 teams dating back to an overtime victory two years ago at then-No. 4 North Carolina.

duke is not only getting better as a team, but almost every individual keeps getting better, not just nolan and zoubek. That is really scary. When paulus starts shooting like he did last year it will make them that much better. Look out nation, I sense a duke/carolina ncaa championship game, it could be the biggest, most hyped game ever!!
