About This Game
Duke put on a shooting clinic Saturday, dismantling No. 11 Virginia 77-51 to stake a firm claim on the ACC's top seed. The Blue Devils' three-point barrage set the tone early—they connected on eight of their first 13 attempts from beyond the arc—and Virginia never recovered. While Isaiah Evans led with 19 points on five three-pointers, Duke's offensive balance was the real story: 12 three-pointers made on 24 attempts (50%) with seven different Blue Devils hitting at least one. The Cavaliers' defense couldn't generate stops, allowing Duke to shoot 49.1% overall while Virginia managed just 29.1%, including an anemic 20% from three-point range (7 of 35). Cameron Boozer exemplified Duke's efficiency despite his modest shooting—the versatile forward made 11 of 12 free throws and used his size to command double teams, finishing with nine rebounds and four assists. Virginia's Thijs De Ridder kept the Cavaliers' offense alive with 16 points, but without supporting firepower and facing Duke's suffocating perimeter defense, Virginia's winning streak ended decisively. Duke's 41-26 halftime lead only expanded, a performance you can relive play-by-play in the Gameprint of this ACC statement victory.
Game highlights: Duke shot 50% from three (12-24), Duke 49.1% overall to Virginia 29.1%, Virginia just 7-35 (20%) from three, Cameron Boozer 11-12 free throws by halftime, Seven Duke shooters made at least one three-pointer
