UVa has the chance to take a 2 game lead over the next closest opponent against Duke, as both Notre Dame and UNC take losses.

I'd love to see Duke burst their bubble.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. K gets his guys up for marquee games.

Duke is doing some damage in transition right now.

 

[jeffro151]

Duke has 22 points in the paint, and Okafor only has 2 of them. Crazy.

Time to slow this game down.

Gotta to give it to Duke, most teams would have given up a few times in the final ten minutes. Congrats

Good game Duke

Virginia just totally pissed that game away, completely outplayed and out coached those last few minutes

What a finish! Didn't think Duke was going to make that comeback but Cook and Jones caught fire. 8 scholarship plays and 4 freshmen, tough to win with that

Tough gut check by Duke to pull that win out on the road at Charlottesville. Virginia is damn good.

Law of averages I think.

It seemed like UVA was dominating because of the announcers, but Duke was missing some shots that were rimming in and out and wide open 3s.

UVAs were all going down.

I think it could have swung either way. And Duke's shots just fell in the end.

Not when they are all 4 and 5 stars.

Georgia Tech is still resting comfortably in dead last place.

Wow, what a week. Duke played #2, #6, #8, and a potential Big Dance Tourney team, all on the road and won 3 out of 4 of those games. Not wanting to sound homer, but I don't believe there has been a more impressive set of road wins by anyone else in the country this season. Seeing how lucky NC State was to win at GaTech, I hope there isn't a let up of the intensity I saw tonight. Every game in the ACC is a test. Even the Jackets.

Don't you mean 2 weeks?

Good game Duke. Duke definitely caught fire from the three point line when they needed to the most. Didn't really agree with Bennett at the end of the game for not fouling. Would have liked to have had a lot more time on the clock and maybe it could have possibly resulted in a different outcome. For UVA, I just wish we could stop having some of these long stretches where we force awful shots and can't make anything.

The ACC has some great basketball going on this year. Good games by UNC, VA, Duke and UofL.



That was S16 and E8 matchup type stuff.
