Over-Under on Coach K mentioning that "UVA isn't just a great team, but a great program" in the postgame presser?
Jay Bilas said it before tip-off and I'm thinking we are witnessing the evolution of a K-ism into the typical verbiage one hears from college basketball analysts.
After Diakite hit heads with Hunter, did he ever return to the game? He looked pretty woozy. I don't think he returned. Hope he's able to go at UNC Monday night.
Nothing concrete yet. Bennett said Diakite was a little "fuzzy" after he and Hunter knocked heads, but made it clear he hadn't talked to the trainers yet, so it's far from a professional medical opinion.
I think if it was football, Diakite would miss monday for sure. Basketball? Seems 50/50.
Agreed. He looked good early. Diakite that is. Had a nice basket around the rim and nailed a 3.
I kind of want to see Tony put Diakete and Huff in together more instead of Salt. I like the lineup of Guy, Jerome, Hunter, Diakite, and Huff. Salt is limited offensively and Huff is just so damn good to me. I love that kid's game. I love Salt's attitude and will though. No knock to him. I just think a Diakite/Huff front court with Hunter at the stretch 3 would be amazingly tough to match up against.
Understandably everyone will talk about Duke's 3-pt shooting, but I think the 17 fast break points to zero for UVA was also important.
Wow. That was some game. A wire-to-wire dominant win at UVA?! Hooooweeee. I'll take it. The game never really felt in doubt after the first few minutes. UVA kept putting a charge in and we just kept answering. I just felt so confident in this team all night long.
Nice to see them hitting threes mostly in rhythm and controlled. Maybe we're reverting to the mean? Maybe?!
We are just so tough on so many fronts. That Zion block felt like a game sealer. An open three for UVA there puts a bunch of game pressure on Duke. That block seemed to keep things loose. That just felt like a block no one else in college could possibly make. Even my fiance, whose a pretty casual onlooker, was like "Oh my God!"

81-71 on 63 possessions. That's insane offensive efficiency by both teams against two of the better defenses in the country. I can't remember the last time we scored 1.13 ppp and lost a game. Kudos to Duke for just being better.
When it comes to our incredible three point shooting today, I’ll say the same thing that I said when we were 3-43: the average is the average because it is the average. LGD GTHc!
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!
