Honestly I just don’t have the best feeling about this game.
Hopefully I’m just wrong.
VT 80-74

Feeling the same. With the flu bug going around and although the blowout if Louisville looked good, I don't like them. Seems to get into the players heads and make them relax a bit.
Hopefully I'm wrong as well.
Duke and Cayden,Khamenia, Harris and Big Pat simply have to step it up if they are out . That’s why you have a bench .
Always a tough place to play but Duke is certainly the better team. I believe Johnson is still out for them which helps. Duke by 10-12 range.
I didn’t have a good feeling about this one before the sickness news….
Sarr and Foster are two of our 3 best defenders. If the are out I think one of Harris, Khaminia, or Cayden has to get 15.

I think we get it done; but if the team is battling the flu a loss wouldn't shock me. I'll say Duke by 12. Pat and big Boozer should wear them down. If Evans is cold it might get dicey. If Harris doesn't play more than 2 minutes today with some guys sick, well you know how that goes. Hope he gets at least 5 minutes. Just read Foster and Sarr not starting.

Ran out of a little juice in the last few minutes. First 4 min will be telling where this game goes
Good test on the road. I think we hang on fur the win.
And we’ll be better for it.

Good win guys. Hopefully no one else catches the flu..Wonder if Evans under the weather as well. Not in the game late
Yeah it’s going to more than likely make its round. Have a few days to recover.
This bunch reminds me of the 2010 team. They aren’t flashy, but they just go about their business, and gradually pull away.
When we need a bucket, Boozer is close to guaranteed to come through.

Got a question for you guys...
Since a couple of guys or maybe more are sick, do they all still get in the bus together back to Durham? If so, it can't be good for all of them together for the 4 plus hour bus ride back. If not, what does the staff do to separate them and get them back? Last thing we all need is for a bunch of the guys to be sick next week.

Separate bus/plane for sicks guys? Have sick guys wear masks? Idk. I certainly wouldn't have a sick guy sit next to a healthy guy on the plane. If you're sick use hand sanitizer.

Datt would say have the healthy wear mask at all times
Planes are notorious for germs but our guys ain't flyng coach next to a sick baby.
I’m sure a program like Duke has all of that figured out to minimize others getting sick. They will probably wrap Sarr and Foster in bubble wrap and then grab an uber home.
Prob told em to get a ride in Corey Alexander’s rig he showed today haha
Just watched the 12 minute highlights. We're just so solid. Boozer is so efficient, and Pat is a load. Brown so smart off the bench. Evans has diversified his game, and Foster and little Boozer were solid. Nik looked good. Poor Harris looked a little lost; tough to get into a rhythm when you don't play.
If Evans can get his 3 to start going it'll bring us to another level. His 3 point shooting been off last couple games
Nice win on the road. VT is a solid team, their record doesn't reflect the quality of the team.
I thought guard play was good by committee. As others have said, we don't need Foster or Cayden to put up huge numbers, but when they put up 13 and 6 together, that makes a difference.
Yes, Evans has been getting to the rim more which I love, but we could really use his three point shooting. He's 8 for 33 over the last 5 games.
