The No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers dropped just their second game of the season on Saturday night, once again losing to the Duke Blue Devils. Virginia was playing catchup to Duke all night thanks to some hot shooting from the visiting squad.
Here are some takeaways from the game:
Duke needed an otherworldly performance to win
Look, Duke is very good. When you have guys like Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish and Tre Jones, you’re tough to beat. When that same Duke team shoots 62% from three (16-of-23) from three, you have to be perfect to beat them, which Virginia certainly was not.
