    Did ya'll cats see Duke and Virginia???

    Sheldon Williams sat out all but 7 minutes of the 1st half with 3 fouls(and only 4 points). Coach K let him go all but about 4 minutes of the 2nd half and he absolutely dominated. Scored 17 points down low and grabbed 11 boards,Virginia had no answer for him in the post,hell,for any Duke player for that matter.

    CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- Well-rested because of foul trouble and eager to make a contribution, Shelden Williams carried Duke past Virginia on Sunday night.

    Williams, who played just seven minutes in the first half, scored 17 of his 21 points after halftime -- including 13 of the team's 15 in one stretch after a second-half run by the Cavaliers -- in Duke's 93-71 victory.

    "I couldn't worry about my three fouls," the 6-foot-9 sophomore said. "I was trying to go out there and play hard and get my game on."

    Williams wasn't alone -- the No. 2 Blue Devils had five other players in double figures -- but he was the one they went to time and again after the Cavaliers' last run pulled them to 63-51 with 14:15 remaining.

    Coach Mike Krzyzewski didn't start Williams in the second half for fear his excitement would lead to a fourth foul, but when he finally put him in, it was over.
