The Virginia Cavaliers travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium to face the Duke Blue Devils in an ACC matchup. The Cavaliers are coming in on a seven-game winning streak, and head coach Tony Bennett will look for his team to pick up a crucial game on the road against the Blue Devils. Duke head coach Mike Kryzewski is looking for his team to keep momentum rolling after Monday's win over Louisville, and he is looking to get a signature win over a nationally ranked Virginia team.
The Blue Devils have struggled to stay consistent this season and come into Saturday's game with a 18-6 (7-4) record, but Kryzewski has been known to get the most out of his players and looks to have the Blue Devils moving in the right direction. Duke sophomore guard Grayson Allen is a key player to watch in this game, as he leads the team in both points (20.8) and assists (3.6).
Allen and freshman Brandon Ingram lead the offense for the Blue Devils, and the 6-foot-9 freshmen has made an immediate presence in his first season. Ingram averages 16.9 points per game and is strong on the boards with 6.7 rebounds per game. The talented freshman makes an impact on both sides of the court and has recorded seven blocks in the past three games.
The Blue Devils will have a difficult task on Saturday, as the seventh-ranked Cavaliers are playing like one of the best teams in the country. Senior guard Malcolm Brogdon is the leader on the court for the Cavaliers and leads the team in both points and minutes this season.
The Cavaliers have plenty of upperclassmen leadership on their squad, and senior forward Anthony Gill dominates the glass for Virginia, as he leads the team with 5.9 rebounds per game. Bennett has a veteran team led by seniors and juniors and is looking to lead the Cavaliers back to the top of the ACC. The Cavaliers know how important getting a win in Cameroon Indoor Stadium can be for their season, and expect both teams to come out fired up for this matchup Saturday afternoon.
