Exactly.  Besides Zion and Barrett, O'Connell was the one who kept Duke close in our game.  He's the one who got the key threes when they needed them.  He has gotten little play in their last two games and Reddish hasn't been that impressive.  Jones was their only true loss for our game and losing a player during a game is always tougher than entering the next games knowing that player won't be there.   Still, beating Virginia shows just how good Duke is even without Jones which I think makes our win even better.

And like you say, this improvement doesn't mean we are winning all the rest of our games, but this three game sustained effort is the best three game stretch I have seen from this team since our Final Four run in 2016.  And we don't even have OB (our consensus second best player coming into this season) playing at the same level he played last year yet.

I suppose this upcoming three game road trip will tell us more.

Cheers,
Neil
