This should be a great game and I am going to cross my fingers that I can actually watch. Last night's men's game was also supposed to be viewable online, but their feed never worked. Although in the last 5 minutes I got to watch a lovely commercial for something that I don't want to buy.

Ten games left in the conference schedule, and the tough games begin. Our schedule this year's been odd, very heavily back loaded. So far, we've mostly played the bottom half of the conference, completing home and homes with Clemson and BC, and singles against State, Wake and VT and Tech, all but Tech were expected to be in the bottom half. We still have home and homes with Miami, Maryland and the Smurfs, along with singles against Virginia and Florida State.

Miami literally gave the game away on Sunday at home against Sylvia's sartorialLy challenged squad, we'll see how they recover tonight.

Well, Miami is there. Not sure if Duke is planning on attending.

Well, Miami is there. Not sure if Duke is planning on attending.

Most of the team finally showed up. Ties at 29 at the half.

Missed shots, Ten turnovers from not handling the ball well. Pressing defense that lets their best shooter open for five threes.

Haley with two fouls, which brought Allison in. That settled down the defense. Tricia with nine points to bring us back along with eight from Chelsea. Alexis leads with six rebounds and three turnovers. Elizabeth mostly a non-factor.

FWIW, Saunders isn't even remotely Miami's best three-point threat. She is 22.7 percent for the season.

18-4 run to open the second half. This looks like Duke.

Well, she is this game. :-)

18-4 to start the second half. Make that 20-4 as I type.

A cool 31-4 run for Duke right now.

8:58 left, 33-8 in the second half. Crisp passes, smothering defense, running baskets. Completely different team this half.

Outscoring the opponent 53-14 in the second half will get you the win most nights.

Wow...UCONN game in reverse. Tricia was amazing for the full 40.

Watching Frush try to play post defense against a 6'2" Miami player on the Canes' last possession cracked me up. But it was fundamentally sound; she was working hard to get around and take away the entry pass.

Miami shot 27 percent for the game. More turnovers than field goals. We will need that kind of defensive effort against the Sylvias on Sunday.

To add insult to injury, Gray's six steals tonight moved her to 6th on the all-time Duke list, pushing her past...Katie Meier. (https://mobile.twitter.com/Duke_WBB/status/297148734020665344?p=v)
