    Duke gave that game away. Kid had an easy rebound but did not box out and then brought the ball down and got tied up. I was watching with a couple of my AAU kids and told them that that tie ball, possession VA was going to lose them the game. Then the Duke big guy defender did a great job on the 1st out of bounds play, VA had to call timeout then the 2nd inbounds the big guy ended up losing the inbounder and VA got a wide open 3 point shot for the win. Simple mental lapses in crunch time will cause you to lose games that you have wrapped up. Duke gave that game away. VA was scrappy and deserved the steal.

    Correct Duke had it at the end, but Virginia was leading the whole game. Looked like Duke came out flat and Virginia took advantage with their aggressive play.

    Duke might have given VA that game to help them get on the bubble. Questionable effort by Duke players.

    It’s called a letdown after unc game. Only happens every year, especially since it was only 2 days later.

    Yeah, I thought about fading them tonight. It was expected but something seemed fishy the last minute of the game and especially the last possession. How do you not guard the in bounds guy?

    We will see, JJ, but the man is only topped by Wooden as having the most NCAA championships.
    How weak is that?
