It’s been a huge refrain across college basketball. Teams just aren’t ready to play post COVID pause for a week or two. Practices become disjointed at best.

Duke demonstrated it can overcome a double-digit first half deficit, rallying from 16 points down a week ago to beat Boston College at Cameron Indoor Stadium. But Boston College isn’t Virginia Tech.

Wendell Moore didn’t shrink from the challenges – emphasis on plural. Moore snapped a season-long drought when the sophomore scored 25 points to lead the Blue Devils past Boston College 83-82 on Wednesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The 6-foot-5 guard/forward had scored only 19 points in the season’s first five games, a slump that …
