@sammyp0805 @HankTucker13 @mpgladstone13 @jasongay @WSJ @AmrithRamkumar @ryan_hoerger While we're at it, we can have golfers play only 14 holes in non-majors and NBA teams play 3 quarters on Monday's and Wednesday's

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Joel Berry has 14 points with 3:43 left to go in the first half. Had 15 total a few weeks ago in Cameron. He's been on fire so far tonight.

@aliwells14 @ryan_hoerger @hanktucker13 Amrith didn't even understand what I was talking about....

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

@ryan_hoerger @hanktucker13 didn't get to pull out any Terrance Mann-Field of Dreams puns for this one :/

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

This is a really impressive performance from Tatum, who's hit 6-7 from deep. Perimeter shooting was the biggest knock on him this year.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

@SethP_Johnson *Jayson. Gotta C-1 those tweets, bud.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

More than 13 minutes into this game, and neither team has attempted a FT yet.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

All orange here in Charlottesville as Duke gets set to battle Virginia in a big top-15 matchup:

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Notre Dame is 9-of-12 from the field in the second half, but Duke's lead has only shrunk by 2. Blue Devils getting to the FT line is huge.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Tatum hit the deck hard after that play, and he's been down for a few minutes. He's having a great rebounding/defense game so far today.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

@hanktucker13 Quality show but certainly no Zooperstars @ryan_hoerger @mercash22

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Great defensive effort so far by Duke. If the Blue Devils can keep this up, they'll pick up their biggest win in more than 2 months.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Interesting call by Capel to put Vrankovic in ahead of Bolden. Wonder if that order will still hold when Coach K returns to the bench.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Notre Dame shooting just 32 percent from the field but has picked up 7 pts from the FT line. Duke offense is clicking, 54 % FG and 7 dimes.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

After starting slowly in so many games, Duke has to be happy with this quick 6-2 lead against Notre Dame. Irish just 1-7 from the floor.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

ND fan yelled "Grayson Allen sucks" in the silence preceding the national anthem. Figures to be another tough road environment for Allen.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

With Notre Dame going small as usual, makes sense for Duke to play just one big and go with Tatum at the 4. https://t.co/MrtrhnxVSq

[Duke Basketball @dukebasketball]

Notre Dame starting the same lineup it has used all season: Vasturia, Beachem, Farrell, Geben and Colson.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Chase Jeter dressed in street clothes again, not warming up for Duke against Notre Dame tonight.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Duke let that one get too close late, but still hung on against BC. Big difference without Jefferson on the floor in the second half.

[Brian Pollack @bpollack5]

Jefferson gets up to encourage his teammates in the huddle, but limps on his way back to the bench. Hasn't played in the second half.
