this is the best team duke has had under P, and in my opinion, has no rival besides uconn this year. with the amount of talent coach P has had, and ow she has changed her style over the years to become more and more competitive is admirable. you can't get that much talent, and continue to come out shocked against connecticut. ND started getting there (and unfortunately that rivalry has been ripped apart), stanford has been there, and certainly baylor.
it was a 2 point game at the half last year. expect the blue devils to deliver that competitive performance for closer to 40 minutes this time.
i hope they're not scared anymore.
