Don't count Duke out because I think they're starting to look like the team who was ranked preseason number one and that they're peeking at the right time and having Mike Krzyzewski  back on the bench can only make Duke more successful right?

 Duke has now won six in a row after defeating Virginia in Charlottesville Wednesday night by a score of 65-55. 

Freshman Jayson Tatum had a sensational second half as he scored 21 of his 28 points after intermission that  included  making three -three -pointers  when Virginia pulled within 43-42 with 8:33 remaining while the last three pointer gave Duke a ten point lead at 54-44.   Luke Kennard had 16 points on the night."according to  http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211478604&DB_OEM_ID=4200
