Akil Mitchell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>Virginia’s Akil Mitchell held Duke’s Jabari Parker to five of 17 shooting in the Cavs’ 72-63 victory in the ACC Tournament Finals.<\/p>\n

Parker was four of seven when covered by other Cavaliers. While Parker got his points, it took a lot of shots to do so.<\/p>\n

Perhaps not realizing that Parker was second in ACC Player of the Year voting, Mitchell said Parker is “going to be a hell of a player.” Well, yeah, most think he already is.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers may get an NCAA seeding to play in Raleigh but an obviously confused Mitchell thought he already was in Raleigh. <\/p>\n

When asked about the crowd support in the championship game, Mitchell said “It\u2019s like we\u2019re back in Charlottesville. To play Duke here in Raleigh you\u2019d never imagine this. Being from North Carolina, being from Charlotte, this means everything to me.”<\/p>\n

Ok, maybe he was just so excited that he didn’t know what he said or else he’s looking forward to the prospects of playing in Raleigh in the NCAA tournament.
