Turns out his hot streak only lasted one half-but that was
more than enough to help the Blue Devils beat Wake Forest again.
Dawkins scored all 21 of his points in the first half, and
Duke routed the Demon Deacons 91-73 on Thursday night for its 45th straight
victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
#15 VIRGINIA 70, GEORGIA TECH 38 – No, sorry Yellow Jacket
fans, that’s not a misprint, that’s 38 points total.

The Cavaliers (15-2, 2-1 ACC) were never seriously
challenged by the Yellow Jackets, who put up their lowest-scoring game since a
53-38 loss to Wake Forest on Feb. 6, 1982, during Bobby Cremins' first season
as coach.
Virginia was coming off a 61-58 defeat at Cameron Indoor
Stadium that snapped a 12-game winning streak. The Cavs wasted no time getting
started on a new streak, taking advantage of a team that doesn't have a true
home arena.

Sophomore C.J. Leslie added 14 points, while junior Richard
Howell had his sixth double-double in the Pack's last eight games, with 11
points and 16 rebounds. Sophomore Lorenzo Brown also had nine points and 11
assists, his first double-figure assist total against an ACC opponent.
#8 NORTH CAROLINA 82, VIRGINIA TECH 68 – It appeared that the
Tar Heels remained hung over from Saturday’s drubbing at Florida State as they
looked to be lethargic while the Hokies made seemingly every shot they put up
as Dorenzo Hudson scored 16 points in 8 minutes…
Game over.
The Heels came out of a presumably blistering locker room
and went on a 19-0 run to take control of the game.
Harrison Barnes scored nine of his 27 points and John Henson
added 16 points, 16 rebounds and six blocks for the Tar Heels (16-3, 3-1 ACC),
who trailed 44-36 before Barnes started the run with two free throws, a jumper
and a dunk. Before it was over, it stretched to 31-5 and a 67-49 lead with 8:23
remaining.

Pulled from the starting lineup in favor of Robert Brown
after 0-8 three-point shooting in Virginia Tech’s prior three games, Hudson was
honored before the game for joining Virginia Tech’s 1,000-point club. When he
checked in at the first media timeout, he quickly established that he wanted to
get busy on the scoring the next 1,000.
Happy 25th Birthday three point shot: The Hokies made 8 of 16 from behind the arc
in the first half – 24 of their 39 first half points were from three
pointers. The Heels were of 1-8 in the
first half and 3 of 6 in the second while the Hokies hit just 5 out of the 15
three pointers they attempted in the second stanza. Sometimes we take for granted, how much the
three-pointer impacts the game…
