Here comes UVA

The 12-4 Wahoos invade Cameron Monday night to take on 12-4 Duke. This may be a bigger game than most think. Legitimacy in the ACC on the line for both teams. NCAA Tourney implications. Duke has been in a downward spiral and lost a little of it's confidence. UVA has struggled a little this season as well shooting the basketball. Joe Harris is still a very good player. But most importantly, UVA is 3-0 in the ACC with wins over FSU,Wake Forest, and NC State and Duke is 1-2 struggling in the ACC. Duke needs a win just to gain back their confidence after stinking it up at Clemson. Look for UVA to grind it out with a slower tempo while Duke will look to push it and run. Tip is 7pm Monday night in Durham. Let's go Duke!

Duke is trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Dammit, c'mon DUKE!

Congrats on the Duke win. UVA is no pushover and is a scary team.

Well they won. Wasn't pretty to say the least. Is this going to be a long season for the Blue Devils and us fans?

Unfortunately THIS Duke team is still in search of something. Did you notice Jabari wasn't even in the game at the ending sequence? I believe Coach K is trying to get somebody, anybody, other than Hood and Parker to make a difference. Rasheed can do it. But he seems to turn it on whenever he wants and off just as quickly.

Coach K trying to make a point by not having him in there? I know they practice their asses off that's for sure, just don't get why it doesn't translate to the actual game?

They're having some chemistry problems. But I feel sure they'll resolve that soon enough.

Yes it does appear that they are. I hope they figure it out soon. Yeah I am sure they will get it together but they had better do it quickly.

I think UVA is better than their record shows. Not far away from being a really good team.

Virginia should have won this game. They have several weapons other than Harris. They all seem to slash to the hoop well. Good luck to you guys too tedman.

I have no idea why Jabari wasn't in there at the end.:no idea: Just maybe, IMHO, is that the rest of the team become "watchers of Parker" instead of "teammates of Parker". They just stand the hell around and watch and as good as Jabari is, he cannot beat 5 by himself. Hood will play well most of the time if not in foul trouble and without Jefferson they can't rebound. But past those guys I wouldn't count on anybody else. And neither does Coach K.

good analysis right there. Didn't think of that till now and you make a great point! In all honesty when was the last time Duke was really good at rebounding to begin with?

For some reason I can load it at work but not at home.
