For the first time all season, the Virginia Cavaliers lost back-to-back games. The No. 7 Hoos faced a resurgent and hot-shooting Duke team and fell just short down the stretch for a 66-65 loss. Down one with 10 seconds left, Virginia had a chance to win on the road, but Kihei Clark mishandled the ball and got it to Jay Huff a fraction of a second too late for a game winning dunk.
The Hoos fall to 15-5 on the season and slip to 11-3 in ACC play. Virginia played well throughout the game, but failed to get anything going in their last three possessions as Duke took the lead for good.
