WBB: Duke vs. Boston College 2/13

[DU82]

Boston College comes to Cameron today. BC is in seventh place in the ACC, struggling to hang onto an NCAA bid.

As always, a good preview over on DWHoops.

I hate to miss out on a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in Durham, but I'll be there!

Duke by one at the half. Sluggish on offense.

Meanwhile, at Carmichael, Miami is up 14 with four minutes to go.

Miami wins by 12. Virginia leads Maryland early in the second half at Comcast.

A shocker! Seriously, I have no idea why there is little improvement over the course of the season in terms of offensive production.

This team has crushed most of the ACC by huge margins. Sometimes you don't play great. Maryland was down 2 to Virginia at the half.

Interesting today that Krystal and Allison so far are our leading scorers.

It seemed to take Duke a very long time to recognize that BC was playing zone.

Once they did, they shredded it. Sensational interior passing. KT and AV have 31 between them with four minutes to go.

That may be true, but the only top 25 ACC team we beat handily was Miami (as I recall), the team that beat UNC today! Go figure. For much of the year, I think, we have relied on our defense to spark our offense and against weaker teams, it works. Against tougher competition we have tended to jack up bad shots and look a bit lost on offense. Still hoping to see this turn around.

Just going off the box score, but 4 points from Jasmine and 4 from Selby (and the entire bench)? Wow. Krystal, AV, and Christmas really carried us today.

[wandalee]

The bench played very little, besides Shay and Kathleen, especially in the second half. Kathleen played great defense, though no scoring. We fed the post most of the game, so Jaz didn't need to shoot much.

[burnspbesq]

Cindy Lou and Co. closed the game with an 8-2 run to beat Murlund by three. Thursday night up there is going to be nasty.

[burnspbesq]

There's a lot to like in today's box score, but this is sick.

Points in the paint: Duke 48, BC 14

On the pre-game show, they said BC averages 82 points/game. We held them to 53. Not bad!
