Carolina came from 14 down at halftime to beat Maryland in the other semi.
Semrau subtly complained that her post players were impeded in their movements.
FSU had a first-round bye just like Duke and thet also play eight. So, I'm not sure tired legs explains. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't.

Duke versus Carolina for the ACC Championship - as it should be!
I watched the 1st half and first 10 minutes of the 2nd half today before having to head off to grandson's baseball practice. We threw the ball away too much. Yes, FSU's defense deserves some credit, but we must take better care of the basketball tomorrow.

The game is at 2 pm with TV coverage on ESPN2. This is an opportunity for Duke to whip Carolina twice in less than 24 hours.

So far this school year, we've swept the Heels in MBB, WBB, and won in Football.
Since we currently own them in Durham County and Orange County, let's spread the fun to Guilford County.
A warm welcome then from Guilford County!
Good guys up 39-24 at the half. Hope we can keep it going for 20 more minutes. This team has been so tough since Chelsea went down.
I dislike Sylvia more than Roy. Go Duke!
A nice run in the first half gave us the big lead. We threw the ball away too much, but countered by turning over Carolina repeatedly. The balanced scoring is a real asset: Williams - 11; Peters - 9; Wells - 5; Liston - 4; Jackson - 4; Jones -4; and Vernerey -2.
Richa Jackson sank a really nice midrange jump shot off a spin move.

1st Team All ACC Tierra Ruffin-Pratt had zero points, four turnovers and two personal fouls in the 1st half.

Two blowouts in two days. Me likey.
The women are just piling on, right now,-- up 45-26 with 17:11 left. Lots of time and no lead is safe, but I like what's happening.

Where did Sylvia finda smurf-blue leather jacket??!!
Just tuned in. Jones is ballin'!
And it's a sweep!! Duke wins 92-73
Instead of the 50+ turnovers of the regular season finale, it's about thirty, so I've enjoyed the game as well as the score. To be fair, Carolina probably ran out of gas towards the end of the first half because of their comeback win yesterday, but I'm only being kind because they beat Maryland.
It's great to have a real ACC finale, especially when it ends with a pummeling of UNC.
