Duke could never pull away from Virginia Tech, but managed to get the win in overtime 70 to 65. The Hokies out shot the Blue Devils from the floor, but Duke out shot Virginia Tech from the free throw line 72% to 43% and that may have been the reason Duke got the win.
Austin Rivers was the top scorer for Duke with 23 points and Miles Plumlee pulled down 16 rebounds for the #4 Blue Devils. Duke already has an outstanding season at 25 and 4, and hasn't even gotten to March Madness yet.
I know a lot of Duke's wins have been close, but it shows the will to win of the Duke players. They are able to stay in control under pressure, like no other Duke team in the past. Duke has won many other games in the past under pressure, but this team seems to take the pressure so much better.

Seth Curry led the scoring for the Devils with 26 points. Mason Plumlee pulled down 12 rebounds as the top re-bounder for duke, even though State out rebounded Duke 39 to 31. Duke's shooting was off, only shooting 36%, but that didn't matter to Duke, they have magic, no other way to explain it, it's just magic.
State was tough, it was almost impossible for Duke to make a shot inside, and they had the guards covered as well. The foul trouble hurt State, If it hadn't been for State getting into foul trouble I don't think Duke would have been able to come back on N.C. State.
