Duke Blue Devils Dominate Virginia Cavaliers in ACC Showdown
The No. 3 Duke Blue Devils (23-3, 15-1 ACC) secured a dominant 80-62 victory over the Virginia Cavaliers (13-13, 6-9 ACC) on Monday night at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Virginia. Duke’s high-powered offense, led by freshman phenom Cooper Flagg, proved too much for a struggling Virginia defense, which has been uncharacteristically poor this season.
Flagg, a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, showcased his versatility with 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game entering the matchup. He continued his strong form, contributing significantly on both ends of the floor. Duke’s offense, ranked No. 1 in the ACC in efficiency and effective field-goal percentage, exploited Virginia’s defensive weaknesses, particularly in transition and from beyond the arc.
Virginia, which has struggled defensively all season, ranked No. 14 in the ACC in defensive efficiency. The Cavaliers’ inability to contain Duke’s offensive firepower was evident as the Blue Devils built a commanding lead early and maintained control throughout the game. Virginia’s Isaac McKneely led the Cavaliers with 22 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Duke’s balanced attack.
The Blue Devils’ victory extended their winning streak to three games, while Virginia’s three-game winning streak came to an end. Duke has now won two of the last three matchups against Virginia, with the Cavaliers’ last win in the series coming in Charlottesville in 2023.
Duke’s next challenge will be maintaining its momentum as it continues its pursuit of an ACC regular-season title, while Virginia looks to regroup and address its defensive issues ahead of its next game.
