Sylvia had a game on the schedule after our game often, and I liked that idea. The two week wait (or however long it was) for the ACCT sucked, and it was good for both fans and the team.Wait what?!? We have an away game AFTER our final home game against uNC?!?
That doesn't make any sense. What the heck? They didn't do that to the men.
But the timing of that last away game is exactly the same as the timing of our last game in most seasons. It's just that the very last game would normally be against the Heels. And it's not the ACCT the women wait for, it's the NCAA tourney. The women have their ACCT a week before the men, so then they need to wait two weeks for the NCAAT, because the women actually start that a day later than the men.Sylvia had a game on the schedule after our game often, and I liked that idea.

It may have been after the ACCT that she had those games. Regardless it was both unique and a good idea. (As long as nobody got injured.)But the timing of that last away game is exactly the same as the timing of our last game in most seasons.

This schedule doesn't change that timing at all.
Skinner announces her commitment at 12pm Eastern tomorrow on Instagram. I like our chances! She just visited last weekend! Also, Agot Makeer and Lara Somfai are here this weekend for countdown.
I love big point guards (she's 6-0), maybe more than any other type at any other position.On3's Talia Goodman also likes Duke's chances for a commitment from Emilee Skinner, predicting the Blue Devils over other finalists Iowa, Notre Dame, TCU, and UCLA.
Goodman links to this paywall article, which I can't access, but this thread in UCLA message board BruinReport says Goodman is about 70 percent confident. Take that for what it's worth.
Skinner's announcement will stream live at noon ET on her Instagram page @emileeskinner1 as well as @sportscenternext.
I've seen her listed variously as a point guard, shooting guard, and combo guard. I wonder what she'll be if she comes to Duke. I'd certainly love to find out!I love big point guards (she's 6-0), maybe more than any other type at any other position.

YES!!! Welcome Emilee!
Emilee Skinner, On3’s No. 5 women’s basketball recruit in the Class of 2025, has committed to the Duke Blue Devils, she told On3.
Skinner, a 6-foot point guard from Millville (Utah) Ridgeline, chose Duke over Iowa, TCU, Notre Dame and UCLA after taking an official visit last weekend.
Yeah, I tried to find a livestream also with no luck. How about this:Talia Goodman had her story ready:

She shot 86% from the free-throw line, 43% percent from 3-point range and 59% from the field. She made 20 more 3-pointers her junior year than her sophomore year.
She has started every game since her freshman season and will look to lead Ridgeline to a three-peat this upcoming season.
