Traditionally, a tough place for us to play at is Castle Coliseum.

And once again, Virginia Tech has been doing well at home.

They are 12-1 at home this season.

They're 56th in Kempom, 59th in Torbic, 60th in Evan Mia, and 55th in the net, which means this is a quad one game.

So again, another opportunity to build our resume here against a tough team.

Jason, let's get to some of the metrics, and I want to start with the offense because I think it's weird.

The offense has been kind of up and down, and that's kind of contributed to some of those struggles.

Yeah, I think the rebounding, as we've talked about over the last couple of games for Duke, has been quite effective and really made it where we've turned, again, smaller leads into blowout victories.

And it'll be an issue.

Again, I feel like this game is always one where...

A lot of these stats that you mentioned, good or bad, kind of get thrown out of the window.

And, you know, Virginia Tech likes to go on one of these momentum shifts, those momentum runs.

Castle Coliseum, as I mentioned, very tough place for us to play.

We've had some struggles there and it feels like the team will be up for it.

The crowd will be up for it.

So it'll be an interesting matchup with where a lot of times the rebounding kind of sucks momentum out of a gym.

they're going to have it on their side, and it's going to maybe help them in that category.

Let's get into some of the players, but before we do that, Jason, let's take a quick break.

We'll talk about the players on the other side, things to watch, and ladies and gentlemen, we have an affiliate partnership that we want to let you know about.

I'm sure you're going to like it, and we'll talk about it after this.
