Mark Williams had this to say about Virginia’s Reece Beekman as well as Reece Beekman’s game winner!

That’s on me said of the defensive breakdown that left Reece Beekman open. I lost Beekman I should have stayed with him off the in-bounds. He got open and knocked it down.

Mike Krzyzewski had this to say after Duke’s 68-69 loss to Virginia to David Shumate who is the voice of Duke Men’s Basketball.

“It’s a really difficult loss - we had a hard time getting over Saturday and we weren’t ourselves in the first half. I thought in the 2nd half we fought and played hard but Virginia’s big guys killed us - really disappointing.”

“according to David Shumate’s tweet on Twitter”
