WBB: Duke 66, VaTech 55

Gregg is going to hurt someone.

[DoubleBlue]

The announcer has called three of those offensive fouls called on Duke as unwarranted.

[DoubleBlue]

No buckets this quarter for Duke after 7 minutes.

Edit: my reverse-jinx worked.

[burnspbesq]

Day-Wilson is playing fabulous defense on Amoore.

Need Celeste and Reigan to do their fourt-quarter difference-maker thing.

[downeastdad]

What's our layup percentage? Not too good, I suspect.

Heide just doubled it.

[downeastdad]

Heide just doubled it.

You're welcome for the reverse jinx.

[loran16]

Heide just doubled it.

She missed the open one and then somehow hit an and one over the best center in the acc

[loran16]

Omg the behind the back layup

[DoubleBlue]

Wow, 8 straight points for a 56-46 lead with 3 minutes left!

[loran16]

Balogun with some incredible shots to end this

[loran16]

What a finish. Made our free throws, really tough shots and defended well

[downeastdad]

Kind of an unnecessary foul with 6.7 seconds.

[burnspbesq]

Huge win. Defense was brilliant. Shy got us started with a 10-point first quarter, and Balogun and Richardson sealed the deal.

[MCFinARL]

Terrific defensive effort, and good enough offense—especially strong early. Could maybe work on more reliable layups but made up for it with a couple of really hard shots that went in.

[chrishoke]

Really nice win. Congrats all around.

[DoubleBlue]

Big win! The defense totally shut down Kitley and Amoore. Balanced scoring for Duke, great foul shooting as usual. They won the turnover and rebounding battles. This team is starting to gel!

[burnspbesq]

I wonder what odds you could have gotten on Heide outscoring Kitley.

[burnspbesq]

Corosdale is usually good for one pleasant surprise a night. Tonight she delivered two: a straight-on three and (if I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t believe it) a block on Kitley.

Defense is good,just wish they could execute their offense better. Jewel Spear Wake Forest had 34 points tonight.Fair had 36 for Syracuse tonight. Lexi Brown Duke Girl on post game ACCN.

Brown needs coaching on fundamentals.If you are 6ft 6, hold the ball high before attempting a shot. Film and practice. Duke is an inefficient offensive team, but win on stifling defense.Richardson potentially could become a consistent double digit scorer. Day-Wilson has has had 3 good nights in a row.Taylor needs to be in double digits every game.

Very good win for Duke. They have recovered from there underperformance against UNC. On top ACC with Notre Dame. Our offense would be so much more potent with Brown or Heide who had 5 (awkward field goals) being able to score when near the rim. Only 2 losses despite poor interior scoring.
