Duke Basketball: Virginia hoping to get Ty Jerome back ahead of rematch

It will be the first time the Duke Blue Devils have faced a team for the second time this season, but in a sense, it will be the first time a fully healthy Duke team will play a (maybe) fully healthy Virginia team.

The Blue Devils were without point guard Tre Jones against Virginia in the 72-70 victory on January 19.

However, as the second showdown between the Top-5 teams nears on Saturday, the tables have flipped and it is Virginia who is dealing with injury questions as guard Ty Jerome missed last Saturday’s game with what Head Coach Tony Bennett called a ‘sore back’ and Jerome was listed as day-to-day.
