Survive and advance they say… That’s exactly what Duke did today in a 77-76 win over UCF. It was the signature game of the tournament so far. Frankly Duke should have lost. If you saw the end of the Duke\Wake Forest game near the end of the regular season, this was a replay. Crazy ending …

  Something occurred to me watching Virginia’s 73-68 victory over Louisville today. In a well played highly competitive game where Virginia did just enough to win, I think we are seeing the beginning of what will be the ACC’s next great coaching rivalry. The ACC was built on great coaching rivalries – Mike Krzyzewski vs …
