I watched this game with my parents and my little nephews in the living room. Couldn't cuss the whole damn game, didn't trust myself to speak without doing so, so I basically watched in silence. Stressed doesn't even begin to cover it! LOL
***DUKE VS VIRGINIA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
hey great win. this was huge for this team.
i was watching tre, he didn't move his R side a lot, but i saw him jump up and clap - he seemed to do those things without much discomfort. hopefully back soon!

Also took a miracle three pointer at end of first half that if doesn’t go in we win without ot
Watching tonight kind of reminded me of ‘15 when Sulaimon was dismissed and we had UVA next and things felt down and Duke fought and showed their true selves. I know it wasn’t quite the same with knowing Tre will be back but reminded me of that game as I was watching.
Been there. People all around and I say “Mother Fuh” while looking angrily around the room at the people responsible for me having to hold back.
Tar holes and pussy felines who stalk our board: NOTICE TO YOU: YOU F’N SUCK and DUKE WILL RUN YOU OUT OF THE GYM (UNC 2X-3X TIMES and UK 2X TIMES) this season you inbreds
We're gonna be talking about this win and how big it was for a long time. OFC
Kentucky fans who stalk this board, we already kicked your pathetic asses by 34 points earlier this season. You idiots who try convincing yourselves uk is better than duke come NCAA Tournament time I also hope for a rematch between Duke and Kentucky, because Duke will win by 40+ points again in the tournament you f’n inbred losers. As for you uncheat fans who stalk this board, your 2-4 beatings are also coming in February-April, you guys have no one quick enough to guard our Blue Devils. Duke > unc + kentucky
You don’t have to see the doctor anymore. You can get ED meds through the mail
I find it difficult to argue with this sentiment.
Seeing as how we smacked both Kensucky and Auburn, watching it felt like the jv game before the big boys played
If they could shoot there’s no reason to play out the season. As is a select few teams can take them down if they’re on their A game.
My question is and i don’t know if it’s been asked yet so sorry if it has but with our win tonight do you thing we should stay #1? Or should we bump down to 2 while Tennessee goes to #1? Either makes sense but if they take in consideration that we didn’t have cam and Tre play against Syracuse plus we beat uva short handed i think we play. Also Tennessee struggled today with Alabama
Cause they were on fire from 3. A season long 40% 3pt shooting team hit 18% tonight. Season long 78% on FT, but 65% tonight.
.
But yeah. Defensive rebounding was the only thing they did wrong. Not, you know, making jump shots and FTs for the first time all season.
Hard stance? I said we might get blown out, and that it was the first time in living memory that there was a chance of that happening in CIS. And yes, we won. All it took was the worst shooting for UVA in what? 2 Years? Maybe 3? We won by 2 vs a season long 40% 3pt shooting team hitting 18%. And that wasn't all D. They beefed some wide open looks. So did we, but that is about par, no?
Think it’s split. More data driven polls will lean UT. Coaches poll will go UT. Duke is 7-1 against the top 40. UT is 2-1. One loss with a mediocre schedule vs us going 5-1 against top 20 teams.
Put down the knife and step away from the keyboard...
There were very few good looks by either team. Our length bothered them. Cam wasn’t good offensively. They took advantage of switching for Bolden, and we ran our offense through Zion and RJ. The difference was they couldn’t stop our plan.

You literally just described about 30% of the points scored by the reigning NBA MVP. I hate it, but it seems to be the vogue in the game today.
I love it when Coach gets flustered when describing Zion. He just cannot describe Zion sometimes because he’s never had a player like him before.
There’s never been anyone like Zion. Mount Zion!!
From Brigette Condon..
Me to RJ Barrett: 12 lead changes in the second half when did you know you had this one?
Barrett: Before the game started.

If I had a nickel for every time my five year old said I was being too loud I’d have six dollars and seventy cents!!!
Serious question are you a duke fan? I mean this week it’s been very questionable it’s almost like you were waiting for us to have adversity and you thought we’d get smashed by UVA but now sadly for you we won so you have to make excuses for them? Doesn’t make any sense
Just admit....you were wrong. Really wrong. They were 2-of-6 from three when you posted that.
I posted my comment at halftime. They were shooting 58% from the field and had only four turnovers. You just said something really stupid and egregious. It happens. Everyone told you how stupid you were yesterday for saying this was the best chance we had for getting blown out since 1995.
You’re a decent poster sometimes, but you went complete idiot on this game.
He’s a Duke fan (and grad). Not a very smart one, though. When any kind of adversity strikes, he loses his mind.
He thinks UVA was who they were tonight because of their own faults. It wasn’t Duke’s length, it wasn’t Duke’s defense and it wasn’t Duke making adjustments since Monday because their team changed.
He said incredibly stupid things leading up to this game and even doubled down on some. Now he looks stupid. Sometimes, it’s easier to play into the trap and keep digging. He’s almost to China.
could you imagine if someone dove on the floor and got hurt?
Very entertaining game. I am quite relieved we didn't lose 2 consecutive home games in 1 single week ranked #1.
RJ and Zion willed us across the finish line today. What an advantage when you not only have the 2 best players on the court but there is such a large margin between them and the opponents best player.
I was surprised we didn't try to keep the same rotation and just insert Goldwire or Alex at the point but I imagine that is much easier said than done against a Virginia. Cameron Crazies brought their 'A' game too.
