Jalen Johnson turned in a dominant performance for the Duke Blue Devils on Tuesday night, posting 29 points and 15 rebounds in a 75-48 win over the No. 8 Virginia Cavaliers.

The 6-foot-9 forward was efficient from the field, shooting 11-of-15, and was a force on the glass, pulling down seven offensive rebounds.

Johnson's performance was a major factor in Duke's victory, as the Blue Devils were able to control the paint and limit Virginia to just 32% shooting.

The win was Duke's third straight and improved their record to 14-4 this season.

Johnson is now averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds per game this season and is one of the leading candidates for the National Player of the Year award.

The Blue Devils will be back in action on Saturday when they host the North Carolina Tar Heels in a rivalry matchup.
