Duke picked a bad night for their worst defensive effort of the season. Some of the offensive rebounds they allowed tonight were baffling. Several off ball lapses. Not going to get it done on the road.

UNC wants it more.

So many killer turnovers tonight..

McCain is having an incredible game.

If the effort does not pick up on defense this game will get out of hand quickly. A lot of standing around and guys falling asleep in the first half.

The end of first half collapse strikes again.

Carless turnovers from Duke have been the biggest difference in the game so far. Can’t give up those easy points in transition.

Duke’s guards have been getting to the rim at will and can’t buy a whistle. It’s an auto trip to the line if a UNC guard drives and throws up a wild shot.

Insane pace to this game so far.

Roach was clearly fouled but it turns in to a foul on Flip on the other end. Have to find a way overcome those types of sequences tonight. There will be plenty of them.

Duke’s defensive gameplan was well executed last night. Cattoor can’t even get to the dribble handoff here bc Roach completely disrupts him coming off the initial off ball screen. Communication and off ball defense was as good as it has been all season.

Blows my mind that bluedevilstop.com has reached over 400K site visits. Just don’t have time to keep up with it for now. May start up again next season. Thank you to all for reading over the last three years!

First NBA bucket for Matthew Hurt. Love to see it.

This game was a prime upset spot. Really good win for Duke.

Really good Ryan Young minutes.

The flops from VT are out of control

Unforced turnovers have been the only thing stopping Duke's offense tonight. Shooting 60% from the floor and 64% from three. Six guys have at least two assists. Getting what they want when they don't turn it over.

Absolutely huge shot by Roach. Great job by Stewart with the controlled tip to Flip to keep the possession alive. Needed that badly after those last few minutes.

Duke is answering every mini VT run so far. Huge in this building.

Great hustle by McCain to save two points on the fast break.
