Duke’s offense coming to you guys. Think you can handle it? This ain’t Clemson you’re about to play. Bring it!But regardless I expect it to be a he'll of a game win or lose,we two teams are the best in the country.
This one will be more about Duke’s defending of the 3 point line. Also, Duval can disrupt that UVA D.
UVA bigs are slow footed. I think Duval will be able to get to the rim and finish on his own, which is greatest strength.Denver we do need to defend the 3 ball, and Duval is CAPABLE of "disrupting that UVA D." Flipside they are just as easily capable of disrupting him. He was hurting the team 2nd half and K was right to remove him. I think he was sending a message just because you're a likely OAD, doesnt mean automatic minutes. Heck O'Connell played extremely well w/the starters in a hostile enviroment on the road. I think Duval plays much better Saturday after his extended sitdown.
OFC

That’s definitely true. I’m not going to try and claim UVA can’t defend. They are the best at it. I feel like Tre does best when he can just stare down the defense and go to the rim.His "greatest strength" will be boosted by the message sent last nite from K. Their bigs may be slow afoot, but they play that D so well schematically to offset some lack of foot speed.

Clemson had a really, really, really bad Saturday. They lose Donte Grantham for the season (and effectively ending his career), and they lose out on Zion... Clemson has a huge void without Grantham. They are still good, but it's clearly not the same team. Grantham had a good shot at making 1st or 2nd team All-ACC.
Hopefully we can beat the UVA defense down the floor. That's been the method to beating it in the last few games. Let's get to work.
The funny thing is they can name numerous players from Duke but I can only think of one from Virginia and that's Ralph Sampson. That's the difference in the two programs
Really. You can't name the guy who was ACC Player of the Year all the way back in 2016 and followed that up by being named 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year?
I'm thinking K will have a great game plan for Saturday. He always seems like he's even sharper than normal when Duke plays an opponent that is supposed to be really good, and uva is really good. Almost as if he feels personally challenged. This game Saturday is the game of the year, and I look for Duke to make a major statement. I think he wants to show Virginia and all the talking heads that he may be old, but he's the best. At least that's what I'm expecting.
Nope
Perhaps that says more about you than about UVA hoops.
It's Malcolm Brogdon, btw. Which most people on this board already knew.
Bennett has turned Virginia into a consistently top-tier program and he has done that with some pretty good players.
True, but let's not pretend that we have seen a defense as good as uva. This will be a battle, and our guys will have to be patient.UVA has NOT seen bigs like ours!
Good for you and them. I'm not impressed. Sorry. They are a good program but I'm not going to act like they are elite. Don't like it, don't comment... Simple
