Virginia rarely ever beats duke. They were lucky not to play them in the championship and lose for a third time. That duke team was cold. They had 25 turnovers and only lost by 2 to a team full of juniors and seniors 😂
@@coletrox lmao Duke gets top high school prospects every year. It's way more impressive to build up a team rather than just be gifted one. Being cold isn't an excuse for losing. That's literally saying they lost because they played bad. Well no shit. Same thing in this game, Duke outplayed UVA.
@Adam Kopasz They were so lucky they ended up playing two away games in the course of the tournament, as both Gardner-Webb and Purdue were in driving range of the venue and their fans thus took over the stands. So lucky they had to play a very late night game following an overtime match between Tennessee and Purdue that resulted in a 10:30 start that greatly favored west coast Oregon in the Sweet 16. So lucky they faced the two hottest teams in the tournament (Oregon and Auburn) and the hottest shooter (Edwards) on an otherworldly run. So lucky they also had to face the #1 defense in the country in the championship and still hung 85 on them. Yes, they got lucky a couple times---you don't win a natty without some luck along the way, regardless of how good you are--but they also had to overcome some serious headwinds and a tournament schedule that by chance or design seemed intended to disfavor them.
@Adam Kopasz If you want to call the double-dribble, then you also have to call the deliberate foul on Ty that preceded it. Reverse angle clearly shows his jersey was grabbed hard before he picked the ball back up, but the refs didn't call it even though they knew Auburn was deliberately fouling (because they had fouls to give) as Jerome advanced the ball in the closing seconds of the game. You might also call the missed travel on Auburn off an inbounds pass at 19 seconds that would have given Virginia the ball back down 2. Sorry for the low quality, but this shows both: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KwbvqjoJTZ0.html Or you might go back even further and call an obvious hack on Jerome at 4:37 left with Virginia up 9 that would have been free throws: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y0PcRSp0CTY.html Ty admitted in the postgame press conference that this missed call made him so mad that he immediately picked up his fourth foul just a couple seconds later "on a bonehead play" and had to sit. Fix that, and Virginia goes back up by double digits, Jerome stays in and stays hot, Auburn's comeback fizzles and Virginia wins comfortably. My point is, people act as if the double-dribble decided everything and the refs handed Virginia the game. Well, here are three missed calls in the final five minutes that favored Auburn. In fairness, I didn't catch the travel at 19 seconds left when it happened live (much like the double-dribble), so I don't blame the refs for missing it. I do blame them for not calling Jerome getting hacked at 4:37 or getting his jersey grabbed on a deliberate foul attempt, given they were blatant and there was an official right there to see it. Doubly so for the jersey grab, given they knew Auburn was deliberately fouling.
Cam is easily a top5 player . This team has loads of talent is hard for great players especially at that age learn how to co- exists with so much talent on the floor . Which when he touch the nba he’s going to flourish it’s a lot less play calling and Wayy more space to work with the fact he’s 6’8 with handle and jumper already show me his potential is crazy
Virginia forced Duke to operate outside of the painted Area... Virginia D played well... Duke played better and made their outside shots... that was the game... PERIOD.
@@tywinters9462 If you want him to stay consistent Duke has design plays for him and give him more freedom. He's showing what he can do as a 3rd option. I really think he'd be a much confident shooter if they believed in him more.
To me he has the most potential out of all these guys. He has the body, length, ball handling and shot to be an elite in the next level. I still feel that they need to run more plays for him. They should use him like a reggie miller or a richard hamilton. Those guy were deadly shooters. Cam can be the same.
Focused All Day I’ve watched all the interviews where Cam gives credit to the coaches and players believing in him and encouraging him to continue shooting even when he was slumping. He’s got all the support he needs and has really improved.
Great win by our Blue Devils and great effort by Virginia to keep it competitive. The jump shooting and rebounds were the difference. Virginia continue to play yall game because yall can do some serious damage in the tourney. Much respect to the Cavaliers.
It’s not really Tre’s role to be the scorer on this team with three other main options. His shooting hasn’t been consistent this year but he absolutely has that playmaking ability like Tyus and can score when the team needs it. Love these four freshmen.
@@mrsain19 They failed to play their best, especially because of some player's selfish attitude--not going to name names. But it was Gonzaga who deserved to win that game. Let's be real.
@@SojuNinja Zags shot unconscious in the 1st half. Duke shot like trash. Duke was trash from the FT line too. And butchered 2 clear dunks. And lost by 2. At the buzzer. Yes. Zags earned and deserved to win. But to act like that wasnt about the worst duke performance all year, and still barely lose....as simple A smith would say...."come on now"..... lol
Say what you want but Cam and Tre are the driving forces for Duke. Duke goes as far as Cam and Tre takes them. Don’t sleep on Bolden too. He’s also crucial to Duke’s success
woww........this to me was the best game that they have played so far this year. First virginia is one of the most hardest teams to beat in there own back yard but for duke to beat them twice is really good. The growth of this team is starting to show. To me Cam Reddish being more aggressive on the offensive in and looking more for his shot takes this duke team to another level. Now at the end of the season before march madness you are starting to see more of tre jones as a quarterback where before he was passing so much in the beginning of the year now he is starting to show you more of his game of shooting and going to the basketball which is crazy because when you have all 4 of them barrett,zion, tre, reddish playing defense and offense like this then they are really unstoppable and then you have bolden making noise in the paint just when you think they are not involving him they get him in the game especially tre. This team when they play like this will be unstoppable to beat. Duke to the final 4 and then champs!!!! The scary part is that they can get even better!!!Crazy!!
Wow Duke is scary to face in the final four this year. This night showed we can shoot the three ball amazing and Zion and RJ are just stars. Tre and Reddish and great solid players around them.
Virginia would have beaten most teams that night. They were actually really good... Duke was just unreal with their shooting. Two great games by Duke on the road this week.
Much respect to UVA good program Duke just showed they were the better team now if we can play like this against Carolina another sweep will be coming soon
When people i know talk to me about how Duke cant lose with 3+ NBA players on their team, i say look at the last two-3 years. Tatum, Giles, Ingram, Carter, Allen, Bagley III, Jefferson(G-League), etc. This team is special. Reminds me of the championship team of 2015. UNSELFISHNESS!!! Nobody is trying to look better than the others. They do it as a team.
ACC Digital Network can't go a day or two without uploading one these videos out of sync, it's ridiculous. Regardless, good game to Duke, nobody is beating them when they play like that. Still think the HOOS are a top 3 team at the least, we'll see what happens in March this year.
Anthony Robinson I knew early in the year that the coaches would work with him on passing out of double teams or finding the open man for a better shot.
Hopefully the sweep doesn't ruin Virginia's season, we need them to hand Carolina an L on Monday night so we can have the sole lead at the top of the ACC. Go Duke
To be freshman's they are good they should be undefeated but they had to learn first... shoulda beat Syracuse but they had 2 starters out still played good tho...let them play those 2 teams again u gone see a big difference and different team...
Carmi Harris Yep, they’ll get a chance to in a couple of weeks to show that with Tre and Cam they are way better than Syracuse. But Gonzaga was an early but good loss because it helped Duke to focus on defense. I’d love to see Duke and Gonzaga again in the Final 4.
1 min 45 sec left in the game. Barrett misses a step back 3. Zion gets an O board, kicks it to cam. Coulda just ran clock off. Maybe even smarter hoops IQ to milk the clock under the circumstances. No. Cam proceeds to dribble drive on the baseline and kick it to Zion for more above the rim aggressive thunder. I'll take that ruthless aggression for 40 min.
cam had 14 with 16 minutes left in the second and only finished the game with 17, the dude's a beast, he just needs to keep shooting because the only reason he scored 3 points in the remaining time is due to him not shooting, if he kept shooting the way he was he could have easily had 30
Why is Duke 2seed and Virginia 3seed when they have a better record??? are they in different divisions or something?? (I am not American and kind of new to college basketball don't hate)
I love the hard foul Salt gave Zion. You have to get physical with that team and make them tire out to have a chance. Coaches! Start on the Refs early like coach Bennett did late.That will make the playing field even.Thats what Coach Jim Boeheim did and you saw what happened.
Man Virginia got like two white boys that look skinny but they were cooking today. 😂 and man Tre Jones I’m liking him more and more. Dude defends, can drive and pass and run the offense. And also one more thing I’m not a big college basketball guy so I don’t really care much, but man how can Tennessee still be #1 after this? Duke has a way harder schedule and has beaten 5 I believe top 20 teams now. I think that out pro’s that syacuse lose.
