Well if beating Notre Dame wasn't going to be hard enough- Notre Dame is in a non-competitive scrimmage today against Kansas and are resting their starters.

You saw what Georgia did to one-horse Stanford, and Georgia ain't no Duke. Let's get by Nebraska first.
Go Duke!

Duke up by 10 with 5 min to go in game.

First free throw by either team was shot by Duke with 6:31 to go in second half. Never saw that before.

We held the Bugeaters 23 points below their season average. I'll take that.

Having grown up in Nebraska, I appreciate the Bugeaters reference. I imagine some are scrathing their heads. LOL

Boy, we missed a lot of chippies today. The way we were creating chances for ourselves, we should have won this game by close to 20. That said, our D was fantastic. We harassed their ball handlers all day and EWill was huge in the paint, making it very difficult for them to get any kind of offensive rhythm going. Congrats, ladies!

We will need our O to produce much more effectively against Notre Diggins if we want to have any shot at the Final Four. However, the most important takeaway from this game, as always, is that we get to face ND in the first place. Survive and advance.

Side note: I hope Nebraska's star player Hooper is not too seriously hurt. That ankle twist looked rather painful on the replay.
