Chip's Analysis:

Duke has allowed just two of its last 12 opponents to score 66 points or more, and none of those teams scored more than 71. The Blue Devils are absolutely menacing on defense, and it's in that identity that Duke will find its best path to winning a battle between the ACC's top two teams. Virginia has had a lot of success with high-volume three-point shooting and offensive rebounds, but I'm not expecting things to be as easy against a Duke team that forces turnovers and cleans up the boards as well as any team in the conference.
