Duke basketball picked up its signature victory of the season against No. 7 Virginia.
The resume of the Duke basketball program no longer is vacant of a signature victory.
In what felt like a heavyweight fight on Saturday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Blue Devils defeated its first AP Top-25 Team of the season in the No. 7 Virginia Cavaliers.
Neither team held a lead more than six points as Duke took a 39-36 lead into halftime and the defense tightened in the second half from both sides.
