WBB: 2025 NCAA Tourney Thread

Oregon's center, 6'8" Phillipina Kyei is Canadian, so Toby will have her hands full with a countryman.

When does our Duke women’s game start?

Thank you!

Officials: Tiara Cruse, Ty Bills, Cara Seggie

Duke WBB is 2-0 with Cruse (UNC home, NC State ACCT). Bills and Seggie have not worked a Duke game this season.

From what I can tell, Lehigh WBB has not seen any of these refs this season.

Lehigh has only one player of color on their whole roster as far as I can tell. That's so strange that it's noticeable.

Oregon's center, 6'8" Phillipina Kyei is Canadian, so Toby will have her hands full with a countryman.

Toby will abuse her. Kyei is slow and Toby (and Delaney) should be able to run rings around her.

While Duke's offense isn't all that great, Lehigh has none. It's not that they are shooting badly, it's that Duke's defense hasn't allowed them to shoot.
With 2 minutes left in the first, they've taken only 5 shots. (And made only one, a three)

 

[CameronBornAndBred]

Not a quarter to write home about, Duke leads 13-8 after one. Lots of rust showing. (But still great defense.)

 

[loran16]

Pretty awful offense. Duke had control then allowed five points in the final minute to cut the lead in half. Not how you want your tourney to start

 

[DU82]

Kara is “slightly” mad after the end of the first quarter.

 

[loran16]

We cannot hit a shot. Open or not. In point blank layup range either

 

[AGDukesky]

Ugly ugly offense

 

[CameronBornAndBred]

We're playing like we'd assume this will be a blowout. As fans, we are allowed to do that, the players aren't.

 

[AGDukesky]

Last two possessions were much better

Oluchi says "enough of this". She's waking up at least.

first thing a family member said to me when they took the court

Oluchi says "enough of this". She's waking up at least.

She’s the only one who seems to have an idea of how to generate a shot on o.

 

[loran16]

Oluchi 10, Lehigh 10

 

[CameronBornAndBred]

The rout is on. With less than two in the 2nd, Duke has 16, Lehigh has 2.
