It was not a pretty win, but Duke deserves their ranking. Great game, Orange!

TV showed someone with a great T-shirt: "Breathe if you hate Duke"

Massive win, especially given how good the ACC looks to be this year. Big ups to McCool for making some huge stops at the end. Lots to work on still, but also lots to be excited about as well. Go Cuse!

I couldn't see a clear replay - was that a moving pick or did the Duke player trip and just kind of fall down? (lax fan perspective, not a Cuse fan perspective, please!)

Moving pick. Obvious call as he tried to take Dwan's legs out.

Agree, can't overstate how big it is to be 1-0 in conference

mccarthy has to run straight to box not stop before. We tend to do that slot when trying to waste under min. Why do we keep ball so far up top where makes shorter run to opp side for other team. Win faceoff n sprint right to box to least lower wing. Lucky on that bad pic play but man still a win. Also i want that dudes shirt that said “breathe if you hate duke” soon saw it on tv told my wife i want it.

...and Virginia isn't the slouch so many talking heads played them off to be. This is a five way race and the starting gun was fired today. It's the conference portion of the season and it's anyone's title to win.

GO ORANGE!

looked like he bailed on getting in front of dwan. but it was too late. shoulda hung in there with the pick. don't know what he was thinking, espec coming out of a timeout.

23 was trying to take Joey out of the game.

Yup, that is Maguire. I wrote about this in another thread here. I went to the Saint Joe's at Duke game a few weeks ago. The guy plays borderline dirty all the time. Lots of crosschecking, very physical. Okay, I don't mind that. But in the SJ game he took a light hit near midfield and pulled the World Cup acting job as if he was about to die. Rolling around on the field, holding his head. Then just got up and walked off. Not cool if you are going to constantly be trying to blow up other players. If you want to dish it, then take it and don't try to fake an injury for a 4 minute penalty. Nobody likes a player like that, not other players, not fans.

And yup, he was coming across that crease to bury Spallina. Too bad he hammered his teammate/roommate!

Everyone loves tough, hard nosed players. Nobody likes borderline dirty players who are also rats when it'll suit them.
