From my perspective, the Virginia game will be won by Duke playing Duke basketball. First and foremost, we must pressure the ball and convert turnovers into points. Second, we need to knock down open shots. Virginia has struggled with the transition game and they haven't been successful defending the 3-point line. If we play our game, we should run Virginia right out of the game.
