The likely absence of phenomenal forward Marvin Bagley III (knee) is a blessing to smallish Virginia Tech. Duke must soldier on without one of its two big starters -- and its leading scorer, to boot. The Hokies have covered in four of their last five road games and are brimming with confidence after its Saturday shocker over Virginia. The Blue Devils are a scoring machine; however, the Hokies shoot 51.4 percent from the field, which is third-best in the country, and can stay close in a shootout.
