Duke vs. Virginia live stream: Watch college basketball online
The Duke Blue Devils topped the Virginia Cavaliers the first time they met, but they square off again on Saturday evening in Charlottesville.
From the opening tip of the 2018-19 college basketball season, the Duke Blue Devils and the Virginia Cavaliers have been two of the powerhouses in the sport. They have consistently been among the top five teams in the country, even after they met the first time this season. On Saturday night, however, they meet again for the second time this year.
As stated, it was Duke that emerged victorious the first time that they took on the Cavaliers, coming out with a two-point victory. That win also came without freshman starting point guard Tre Jones, and having him back in the lineup could be a huge boost for the Blue Devils in this matchup on Saturday.
Virginia is now the team dealing with an injury at point guard. Ty Jerome has been ailing as of late, which puts the Cavaliers in a tough spot without one of their veteran leaders. The likes of De’Andre Hunter and Kyle Guy will have to step up and make something happen.

Of course, doing that against the likes of Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett is not an easy task for any team in college basketball. Having said that, if any team is capable of doing so, it would be this high-quality Virginia team.
