Duke were slight favourites in their Sunday game against Virginia. They were looking to win the ACC tournament, but fell short, losing 72-63, in what had been a back and forth game, until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The game had a tremendous atmosphere, but it was Virginia's fan that made the difference and led their team to victory in what was one of the most exciting games of the weekend.

Joe Harris was the main man for Virginia, but Jabari Parker did his reputation no harm either. Harris finished with 15 points, while Parker had 23 points and eight rebounds. It was Harris who took glory Sunday night, but it's Parker who will have the last laugh when he likely gets selected as the number one pick in the 2014 NBA draft.

Although Harris and Parker were the main men, they both struggled in the first half, with Harris going 1-of-4, and Parker going 2-of-10, but the second half seemed to show they'd calmed their nerves and were looking to out perform one another. Both players will have much bigger games coming soon in their careers, and they will have to eradicate their first half jitters if they're to succeed.

Duke will be a threat when March Madness begins, but they have had their struggles that they'll be hoping to address in the tournament. Many are saying that Duke, with Rodney Hood and Parker, have a shot at winning it all, but they've been exposed far too much this season.

How far will Duke go in March Madness, and does Jabari deserve to be the number one draft pick?
