Duke vs Virginia Preview
The Blue Devils are coming off a win over the tourney’s top seed, Miami FL, winning 85-78 on Friday night. Five players scored in double figures for Duke, led by center Kyle Filipowski, who finished with 17 points and 11 boards. Dariq Whitehead (16 points), Tyrese Proctor (15 points), Mark Mitchell (14 points) and Jeremy Roach (13 points) all had solid contributions.
The Blue Devils made 54.9% of their shots from the field and an impressive 50% of their 3-point attempts in the well-rounded victory.
“I just think early in the year we were kind of letting the ball stick, and it was sticking in one guy’s hand and that’s been a big thing this whole season,” Roach said after beating Miami. (Head coach Jon) Scheyer’s been telling us all five guys got to touch it. And when all five guys are touching it, everybody has got confidence.”
On the other side, Virginia just blew out No. 3 seed Clemson, winning 76-56 on Friday.
Cavaliers forward Jayden Gardner paced the team with a game-high 23 points while Armaan Franklin added 16 and Kihei Clark chipped in 13 in the victory. Virginia shot 50% from the floor and 35.3% from beyond the arc, committing just six turnovers all game.
“I thought for the most part, I think our offense, our size really just wears people down,” Clark said after the win. “When you turn it over a couple times, I think we get the looks that we want, and I think that’s how we’re able to be efficient and just try to wear them down from that.”
Both teams are ranked nationally (Duke is No. 21, Virginia is No 13), so expect a well-played and hard fought contest. Scheyer, in his first year with the Blue Devils, could become the third rookie coach in ACC history to win an ACC tournament title as a rookie coach.
Duke and Virginia last played each other on February 11, when the Cavaliers won in a controversial overtime contest. Filipowski was fouled with seconds remaining, but officials negated the call, a mistake the NCAA later admitted to making. Virginia won, 69-62 but the loss lit a fire under the Blue Devils, who haven’t lost since. We’ll see if their hot steak continues here.
