The game is tonight at Cameron at 6:30. Tickets for Triangle residents are only $4. The game will also be shown on ESPN3.

On Sunday they lost by seven to UNC at home and now they have to travel to CIS. If the men didn't have UNC and Syracuse back to back I might feel sorry for them, but at least in this case the games weren't scheduled.

What do tickets cost for non-Triangle residents? :p

Hate that it is only on ESPN3, I'd love to watch it, but I'll listen to the goduke radio broadcast. I hope the fans still show up to fill Cameron with the Men's game starting before folks make it home.
This should be another great chance for the ladies to step up big when they really need to show they are a team worthy of a #1 seed. LGD!!

So far, so good. Eight minutes in, Duke is shooting 50 percent (including 3-7 from three) while holding the Wuffettes under 30 percent. Not helping off Goodwin-Coleman is keeping her from getting going. Despite being small, NCSU getting too many offensive rebounds.

Duke needs to match NCSU's intensity. They probably will.

Duke is playing decent defense tonight. NCSU went almost eight minutes w/o a FG, before scoring on its last three possessions. Duke up ten with 2:14 to go. Duke shooting FTs out of the timeout.

Sometimes this game isn't fair.

Especially when you have a good coach and good players. Even if you don't have a truly great coach (such as K or Geno). <sigh>

Nice contributions from Chidom and Henson in the first half.

Good start to the second half. Six second-chance points. Lead extended to 18 at the first media timeout.

Duke dialed in now. Princess Pat draining threes on her birthday.

And just as quickly, Duke goes off the boil and State carves 11 points off the lead. Which is still 13.

Really bad news for State. Goodwin-Coleman being carried off the floor.

Tougher finish than needed, but we took care of business.

When State watches the tape of the last two minutes, they're going to want to jump off a bridge. Down four, and they make a bunch of brain-dead plays in a row. 7-0 run for Duke, and game over.

Survive and advance.

State players not named Burke or Gatling were 8-43 from the floor.

Amazing game for Burke in a losing cause. Thirty points on 11-16 FG (6-8 from three), 2-2 FT, seven rebounds, three assists.

They are going to be an incredibly dangerous 5 or 6 seed in the NCAA.

Liston has given us a fantastic 4 years and as good as she is we are fortunate
to have another great shooter in Becca Greenwell next year if healthy [PLEASE ].
She says I want to be great not just good, we may have another 3 pt. record
in the near future.

Here is the latest installment of Becca's blog for espnw. If she's able to run with the guys on the scout team in practice, she's 100 percent. I suppose if anyone else goes down, the staff would have to think about playing her, even if it means burning a year of eligibility for no more than 12 games.
