The Big Preview: UVA basketball hosts Duke in JPJ

Coming off a big home win over NC State, the Virginia Cavaliers now face another tough test in the Duke Blue Devils. Although the Blue Devils are just 8-5 in the ACC (17-7 overall) and ranked 35th on KenPom, they obviously have talent and they boast wins over Iowa (32 on KenPom), Xavier (22) and Ohio State (34).

None of those big wins came on the road. They have two road wins all season, BC (178th) and Georgia Tech (207). Not exactly road warriors.

Virginia handled NC State at home by slowing the game down.
