Joey Brackets might have had the Virginia Tech Hokies (23-12) on the outside looking in at the big dance, but last night they punched their ticket to the dance floor. The seventh-seeded Hokies dominated top-seeded Duke 82-67 to deny Mike Krzyzewski a league title in his final season. MVP Hunter Cattoor 31 points * FIRST ACC tournament title and appearance for Virginia Tech. The Hokies joined the ACC in 2004. * FOURTH ACC champion to win the title by beating the top-three seeds. * Hokies receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 43 years. The Hokies won the METRO conference in 1979. * The 15-point win was the Hokies' largest victory over Duke in a series that was first contested in 1912. #virginiatech #hokies #blacksburg #burgandy #acc #championship #first #acctourney #champs #bigdance #banner #ncaatournament #history hokiesmbb hokiesports hokies.insider hokie.sports hokiereport barstoolvtech accnetwork hunter.cattoor
