Roberson is going to be great. 2 more years of her and Fournier in the post should keep Duke on top of the ACC. Plus if Emilee Skinner is close to being as good as she was ranked (#4) they're in good hands at PG for years to come. Not to mention they have a great recruiting class lined up for next year. Kara's doing a great job in Durham.
 


Apparently both Skinner and Donovan are out for the season. Was not aware of the Donovan injury situation.

Kara Lawson has done a great job with turning this team around. I’ve noticed the folks calling for her dismissal from Team USA are noticeably quiet.

I predict that the noise will pick back up after the next Team USA camp.

Duke quietly has one of the best frontcourts in the country now with Fournier and a consistently great Delaney Thomas. Does any team have a backup 5 as good as Roberson? Other than Oldacre at Texas I can’t think of anyone.

FWIW, Duke’s PPG has increased every season over the past four, and at a respectable 75.9 now.
 
I feel like Duke's PPG started going up when Donovan got hurt and then they started going in the ACC. I like Donovan's defensive versatility, but she really was ineffective this season offensively.
 
Wow, color me surprised that a certain Blue Devil acolyte is very excited today....

Part of me wonders if their recent success is due to a weak ACC schedule. I guess time will tell but they look like an elite 8 team now.

Just like every other conference, the ACC has at least 10 teams with records of at least 0.500. The ACC has seven (yes, SEVEN) teams that have already reached 10 conference wins, which means that all of those teams will finish with a conference record above 0.500. Duke has only played Pitt, Boston College, SMU, and Wake Forest once each and will finish the season with NC State (tournament team), Clemson (bubble team), FSU, and UNC (who they already defeated).

Maybe, just maybe, the ACC ain't half bad and Duke is just that much better?

Sounds like they're a top heavy conference. Nothing but a showing out in the tournament will really convince me otherwise. The ACC had such a bad non-conference record that their inter-conference records won't really change my mind.

Sounds like you have your mind made up and aren't willing to consider the actual evidence in front of you.

In case you actually change your mind, consider this. Stanford has nonconference wins over Oregon and Washington, two teams that everyone has in the tournament (not bubble teams--actual tournament teams). Stanford lost by three points to Tennessee, another tournament team. Stanford currently sits at 5-9 in the ACC.
 




I've said it many times before, but Duke's media team is the cream of the crop.
