End First Quarter, Duke struggling with the full court press when ECU has the ability to set it up...which isn't that often, because ECU has two baskets.
24-4 Duke.
And she hits a 3 to put duke up 20-4! And then next possession a steal and a drive to get free throws.

Very nice 1st quarter.

Great start, 15-0 against the ECU pirates. And very good to see Mikayla Boykin playing.
24-4 after one quarter, ECU ‘is badly outclassed. Plenty of threes from multiple players.
The game is on ACCNx, using the Duke radio broadcast for audio, and I assume a robotic camera from the birds’ nest. A no nonsense announcer, since he’s solo and doesn’t have to set up a color commentator with non-topical comments.
And there’s a cutout person in my Cameron seat! Hope I can sit there again soon.
ETA: ‘looks like my feed’s behind everybody else’s!
Duke is shooting 7-13 so far from the arc.

Sooooo many turnovers. 10 already 15 minutes in.

Miela’ s winning! 19-13 with five threes. 41-13 and ECU calls their third timeout of the game halfway into the second quarter.
Sure is fun to watch Duke playing structured basketball!

13 assists on 17 FG's
The team is shooting better from 3 pt range (9-16, 56.3%) than overall (17-30, 55.2%). I'm not complaining.

De Jesus is fun to watch. Doesn’t get sped up, makes the right play and is under control. Kind of like the anti Greg Paulus (I kid, I kid).
Like Loran pointed above, too many TOs. Those will kill us against a better team.

Overall a really good game, but ughhh those turnovers! 22 total.
The ladies got 44 rebounds, however, and that's awesome.

They committed seven of those TOs against just two assists in the awful fourth quarter. They were up by 30 and the lesser lineups were in. It's not an excuse, of course. We need to clean that up. But game experience is what that time was for. Now they can analyze and correct the problems.
I am looking forward to seeing what KLaw has in store as a game plan against Louisville. They are one of the best teams in the country, and we get them twice. Oddly, twice on our home floor, but without fans, that's not going to mean much. But I'm looking forward to seeing what gets tried.
I had to miss the game for my grandson's 3rd birthday party. I see that Boykin got in for 15 minutes. How did she look?
