The term “hard-fought win” is something of a cliche. But Duke’s 66-65 win over Virginia Saturday night was a hard-fought win.
Mike Krzyzewski sure thinks so.
“It’s sad that fans were not at this game. It was an epic game. This was a great basketball game tonight. Every possession was fought. It seemed like every dribble at times. They’re veterans and they played like it. They’re so poised and they play great defense and our kids played great defense tonight too, and came up with some really big plays.”
It seemed a game that was destined to come down to the final possession and it did just that.
