Someone should take Reece (the next Dejounte Murray) in the lottery. Hopefully they wait until next year.
ESPN, the ACC, the NCAA, NIKE, CBS, they all are invested in Duke’s success.
It won’t be enough to be the best team tonight, we will have to overcome the script.
I’m surprised they’re waiting until after the game.
For me, Proctor is the most important reasons these guys are now playing, IMO, at a final 4 level. Of course, a healthy Lively contributes, but Proctor is no longer playing like a talented high school senior who is mostly trying to stay out of the way of all the star power on the roster. He is showing that he can be the man when it is needed, and has become really aggressive.
Now, I didn’t see much of the Pitt game, but he was really impressive in every (offensive) phase of the game.
Lol why wait so long???
Little worried that Reece played 36 and 39 minutes the last two games. Because we pretty much need another 38 from him tonight. Let’s protect that man’s hamstring.
3 games in 3 days (or 4 in 4, or 5 in 5) is fun for fans and has that cool endurance factor but I wonder about injury risk.
Generally agree with that but what are you saving him for at this point?
No like I said we need 38 from him. I just worry about it!
Thursday or Friday tourney game is more important than tonight.
Slightly disagree with this. Today atleast. Revisit next week when we get there
Tonights game is HUGE
Saying a first-round NCAA game is more important than the ACC Tournament championship is either an indication of how far the ACCT has fallen, or how warped our perspective has become.
Also: They’re not mutually exclusive. You are allowed to win both.
It matters cause it’s MFing Duke. Losing a champ game to say Miami wouldn’t sting as much. Let’s just trust that the staff knows what it’s doing re injuries. I take it as a good sign that Reece is playing so many minutes and looking more explosive
Tonight is important for possible establishing Tony as the new king of the ACC.
Also I really want to beat Duke after all this media bullshit. And also because they are Duke. I would rather lose to the Chokies in the ACC title game than Duke because of the slobbering from the Media afterwards.
Respectfully disagree. Tonight they are playing for a championship. That needs rmto be all consuming until the final whistle.
Win at all cost.
Take everything leave nothing
I agree fresh…this is one of those years I think the acc championship matters…without some tremendous matchups I don’t think we can expect to get to the ff…anything can happen but I don’t think we have a bucket getter this year…sooner or later that will hurt us
Plus…it’s mfing duke
Won the ACC regular season
20+wins
Ranked all season
Top 5 seed
And all anyone wants to talk about is Duke?! Duke is walking around talking about they should have beat the hoos in Charlottesville but when they had the chance Virginia tapped that a$$. Still all the talk is about the Duke turnaround how’d the wunderkind coach get 12 5stars to not suck.
F that. Tonight’s the night you shut everyone up including your own fans. Walk out on the court and punch Duke straight in the mouth let em know they are the imposters. This is Virginia’s league and all titles go through CTB and Charlottesville.

Man I love the attitude dragon…proctor and whitehead are playing at the next level now…we need to match that big time….
