With conference play underway in NCAA basketball, there is a game between two elite opponents. These teams are the Duke Blue Devils and the Virginia Cavaliers. According to the AP poll, both teams are ranked in the top-five which should result in an extremely competitive basketball game. Last season, Duke won the only meeting between these teams. Now, Virginia will be seeking revenge and will be looking for a huge road victory to boost its resume for March. Expect this game to be extremely competitive throughout as a result.
Duke’s success is due to its star forward Marvin Bagley III. This season, Bagley is averaging 21.6 points per game along with 11.5 rebounds. Bagley has looked like one of the best players in the country this season and is a serious contender to win the Naismith College Player of the Year Award. Entering this season, Bagley was expected to be one of the top picks in the upcoming NBA Draft and that will likely come true if he goes pro after the season. Expect Bagley to have a big game on Saturday if Duke plans on winning this contest.
Virginia’s success is due to its team defense. Every year, Virginia is one of the best defensive teams in the country under coach Tony Bennett. This season is no different as the Cavaliers officially have the best scoring defense in all of college basketball. Virginia is allowing 51.6 points per game this season and will look to shut down Duke’s potent offense. Leading the Cavaliers offensively is guard Kyle Guy. This season, Guy is averaging 15.2 points per game and is shooting 42.6% from the three point line. If Virginia plans on winning this contest, Guy will need to have a big game from behind the arc.
As for my prediction, I have to side with Duke. It is very difficult to defeat Duke on its home court and I do not think that Virginia has enough offensive weapons to win.
