It’s funny what can change in five days. Monday night, we were upset by a mediocre Syracuse team IN CAMERON and none of us seemed to worry too much about the loss. Knowing we were without Reddish because of illness, and more importantly, had lost Tre (arguably our most valuable player) for what appeared to be a while - and a DEVASTATING loss - the loss to Syracuse was secondary and just not important in the scheme of things.
Fast-forward to Thursday when Coach K of all people, who is often so mum on injuries, relieved all of our greatest fears by letting us know the injury wasn’t as bad as originally thought even stating, “I don’t know if it’s this game or next - but he’s not out a month or anything like that.”
And, WHEW, we can all breath again - the season is alive and well.
SO - erase Monday, get Tre healthy and bring on the Cavaliers today. The world seems right again with Duke basketball - or at least close.
Duke comes in as a -2.0 favorite today against 16-0 Virginia. With Reddish likely returning, even without Tre, I like this. Virginia is playing at its peak right now - but we have Coach K, UVA got us last year at home in a tight one and I think we will be incredibly hungry to bring Virginia down and prove where we belong nationally - even minus Tre. Not to mention we don’t lose two in a row at Cameron very often.
So - here we go. Tonight’s game is slated for a 6pm est tip and will air on ESPN HD.
Duke 71
UVA 66
GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
