February 1, 201511 yr Duke continues to prove they are still Kings of the ACC. Now since Virginia lost maybe UK will get all the votes for 1st place.
February 1, 201511 yr And that offensive firepower to just fill it up really quick. Jones and Cook with just beautiful shooting at the end.
February 1, 201511 yr As nice a comeback as Sunday's was against SJ. This bodes well for a young team when they don't hang their heads and fold the tents. I don't see either one of these teams beating UK but Duke looks like the better chloice. This was my first time watching Virginia and they are good, but after the let down of a first loss, wouldn't be surprised if they don't lose their next 2(UNC, Louisville). Loved Duke's zone against UL, loved it tonight. They're going to have to a zone team without Rasheed, who was their best defender(or at least he was last year when he was getting 10 more minutes a game)
February 1, 201511 yr It's UK and Duke's world, everyone else is just hoping to catch them on an off night. Virginia is still a very good team. That luster will come off some with the loss and how they lost but they have a nice team.
February 1, 201511 yr Duke messed around for 3/4 of the game and still won. That was an impressive run to end the game.
February 1, 201511 yr My thoughts on Virginia from the update thread: Not that I think Virginia is awful, but I really struggle to see them as a National Championship contender. They'll beat the teams that they should, but once it gets to the Sweet 16 level, I don't see them being good enough offensively to win the 4 straight that they'll need to. It doesn't matter if you hold a really good offensive team to 65 if you can't break 60. Duke is awful defensively and they've only gave up 63 to Virginia so far.
February 1, 201511 yr Could a team who shoots the ball like Notre Dame but defends like Virginia beat the 76ers in a 7 game series?
