Duke losing again
Duke down 13 to unranked Virginia with 8 min to go. A UVA win should secure their NCAA spot and secure an ACC title for Miami, regardless of the Canes Sat matchup with Duke. Watching Duke its hard to see them even as a 2 seed.

No surprise. Conference road game against a good team with an energetic crowd. Figured UVA would probably win.

So much for ESPN's "big matchup" for Saturday.

Agree. Desperate bubble teams who need a signature win in late February at home somehow tend to find them.
I bet UVA loses their next game though, whoever its against.

Media has to be so disappointed. I know how much they were looking forward to blowing Duke and putting them at #1.

Another court rush allowed. It's up to four now for Duke this season.

It's their 4th loss people. Let's not hyperventilate and drop them to a #3 seed. They are still a #1 seed as of this moment. That said, it's always great to see Duke lose.

Nobodies hyperventilating, just noting how crappy duke looked tonight. As of this moment, i seriously doubt they are a 1 seed anywhere. After this loss they will need to beat your Canes Sat to get back in the discussion. My opinion of course.

They are similar to us in that they have a guy returning soon in Kelly that totally changes the identity of their team when he's finally back in the lineup. Just like our UT loss, this UVA loss means little in the post season picture. If they want a 1 seed they just have to win out like us.

I think Duke will beat UM & retain a #1 seed if they don't currently have it. Virginia isn't a sub-100/150 RPI team like the two that beat Miami.

Welp according to one of our posters this should make Duke a 4 seed now.

They now have 4 road losses in conference play. According to some people, this means Duke has no shot for the nc.

I would think Miami might be a bit concerned. There will be alot of pressure not to lose 2 games in a row.

A highly-motivated Duke playing at home in front of a frenzied crowd will beat Miami.

Virginia has had a pretty good year. Beat Duke, NC State, NC and has some good players. I hope we don't draw them first game. They are tougher than the last 15 years of Virginia teams.

I seriously doubt that we'll draw an at-large team in our first game, but okay.

Virginia is probably better than all but 1 or 2 SEC teams. 20-9 with a 10-5 conference record in the ACC is signs of a solid team. Losing to Penn State is a worse loss.
