Mon Feb 17 22:10:00 UTC 2025: **#3 Duke Blue Devils to Face Virginia Cavaliers in Crucial ACC Matchup**
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – The third-ranked Duke Blue Devils (22-3) will face the Virginia Cavaliers (13-12) on Monday, February 17th, at 8 p.m. ET in a pivotal ACC matchup at the John Paul Jones Arena. The game will air on ESPN and is available for streaming on FuboTV, DirecTV Stream, and SlingTV.
Duke, coming off a 16-game win streak snapped by Clemson, has rebounded strongly with decisive victories over California and Stanford. The Blue Devils, boasting a dominant regular season record, aim to solidify their position as the ACC’s top seed and secure a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. They face a challenging Virginia team that has recently enjoyed a three-game winning streak against Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech. However, the Cavaliers are considered significant underdogs against the powerful Blue Devils. This game marks Duke’s first road game since their loss to Clemson earlier this month. Following their matchup with Duke, Virginia will face consecutive away games against North Carolina and Wake Forest. For Duke, this is one of six remaining regular season games, all against unranked opponents.
