It was Saturday's best college basketball matchup when No. 2-ranked Duke visited No. 3 Virginia for a tough ACC matchup. But Duke, once again, came away with the victory, 81-71, as they continue to show their dominance this season.
With LeBron James among those in attendance, Duke F Zion Williamson was doing it all on the hardwood. He drained 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including 5-of-7 from the free throw line. He also collected five rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and three steals.
The only knock on Williamson tonight was his five turnovers, as he was sloppy with the ball. However, he made up for it with plays like this one...
ZI🚫N BL🚫CK!

While Williamson was doing everything on the stat sheet, SG RJ Barrett was leading the offensive charge with 26 points in a night where the long ball was working. He started off 5-for-5 from three in the first half, and finished 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also had seven boards, three assists and a steal.
Cam Reddish also had a good game from deep, shooting 5-for-8 from three for 17 points to go along with two blocks, three steals, and three assists.
Duke's "Big Three" continues to impress on the biggest stages, as they strive to make their case to all fall in the top five of this year's NBA Draft. The Knicks could be licking their chops at any one of them come June.
