2025-06 Duke

Not sure how to spin what I just saw as a positive…Baylor wins 58-52 in I can best say as an “interesting game”. Duke was 20-69 and 4/19 from 3 from the floor while Baylor was 20-63 and 3/15. But yeah, great defense…NOT.

Honestly, the thing that irritates me the most is Kara is now the Olympic coach. Yikes…..
 
I'll have to go back and watch the game once I get home tonight, but my goodness...

To put it in football terms, I think it's time for Kara to hire a dedicated offensive coordinator and hand over the playcalling clipboard!
 
It was tough watching that game. There was just no offensive rhythm at all for Duke.

Both teams. I saw so many missed opportunities that will probably be cleaned up. Baylor had so many wide open players that they didn't see or were too late to recognize. Those kind of issues will resolve themselves with more chemistry and film study as the season evolves. I didn't quite see the same with Duke. Their guard play in particular was no bueno.
 
I really like Duke and Kara but this is a pattern. She's trying to win with only putting up 60 points tops and that will only get them so far. The game isn't the same as 20 years ago... if she wants to be at the top, they've got to be able to get to 80 points in competitive games.
 
Video of @triaddukefan was just found reading the score....

Maybe we'll see some improvements when the freshmen are cleared to play.
 
So is Baylor’s offense just as bad? They only scored 58…and shot close to the same percentage.
 
Lawson was pretty honest as a television analyst about early SCar contending teams offensive issues, but Dawn's teams certainly scored more consistently than Lawson's have.

Pretty disappointing start for Duke but I expect they'll have it together by Vegas.

She is starting to shake the rust off... She definitely will be a key part of the team

Roberson and Skinner made their season debuts last night

As I said to another friend last night, I have yet to see Skinner play, but this statement from Coach Lawson says something to me about her potential.

In her 13 mins last night you could see it. A little rusty as expected…but she sees the game differently for sure.

Like others have noted, PG play has been a missing piece for Coach Lawson's squad. Looking forward to seeing her play during the season.

12 points 6 rebounds 2 steals and 3 blocks in 12 minutes. I know it was against Norfolk State, but she is gonna make us a lot better going forward.

WVU has been tough at home the last few years. Could be an interesting game

The game is in WV, but it's being played in a ballroom at the Greenbriar Resort
