3 keys to Duke basketball’s revenge game at Virginia
By Jack Burgess
Duke basketball is looking to keep its win streak intact.
It’s revenge time for Duke basketball as the team heads to Charlottesville to take on the Virginia Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday in Part Two of their season series. The last time the ACC rivals met, Virginia handed Duke a grueling loss in what was an offensive showcase for the Cavaliers, scoring 52 points in the paint (the most paint points Duke has allowed versus Virginia in Durham in the Coach K era).
The Duke Blue Devils are coming off of four wins in a row (their last loss coming to Virginia), and they intend on keeping that streak alive when they hit the road on Wednesday night. Since dropping a disappointing overtime loss to Florida State on the road in mid-January, Duke basketball is riding a five-game road win streak, the best in the ACC.
In order for the Blue Devils to storm out of Virginia with a victory, strategies and adjustments must be made to keep up with the Cavaliers’ style of play.
With that being said, here are three keys to a Duke win against Virginia.
