Whereas most of the teams in the Hokies' stretch run are at or below preseason expectations, the Blue Devils have exceeded theirs.
Duke sits 5-3, with a 2-2 record in the ACC. Modest accomplishments, certainly, but more than was expected in preseason. More importantly, VT is in no position to look down its nose at a winning record.
