Thijs de Ridder hit an open three at the 17:02 mark, his second basket in the opening three minutes.
We didn’t know it at the time, but Virginia’s next bucket wouldn’t come for another seven and a half minutes.
A Chance Mallory three on a fast break got the ‘Hoos to within 19-12 with 7:52 to go, but three Duke threes – by Darren Harris and Dame Sarr – in the next two minutes pushed the lead to 16, and the rout was on.
Virginia, which came into the game on a nine-game winning streak, never got closer than 12 the rest of the way – basically never got off the deck after taking the series of body blows.
The final score was Duke 77, Virginia 51.
It didn’t feel that close, if that’s possible.
