Duke @ North Carolina St (10) - 2/24/20

[LETTERL]

So, does this game help propel a front-runner for the ACC POY? Cunnane vs. Gorecki (the 3rd candidate is Evans) so if one can exert their presence more in the second half to will their team to victory...?.

I think it will either go to Evans or Gorecki.

Gotta love that Debbie Antonelli doesn't have a rooting interest in this game or if she does, she's keeping it to herself ....NOT!

4:51 left 3rd quarter...Duke leading 39-36. In a crucial development, Leaonna Odom just picked up her 4th foul. Duke sprinted out to a quick 6-0 run in the opening moments of this third stanza.

Elissa Cunane has exploded. The sophomore is now 6-6 from the field, for 15 points and has grabbed 8 rebounds.

She has been highly complimentary of Duke tonight, so I'm not quite sure what you're implying.

It does seem like she favors NCSU.

I think it will either go to Evans or Gorecki.

Can you give the ACC POY award to a player that shoots less than 40% from the field in Gorecki? Her 4/13 tonight isn't helping that stat either. She rebounds and gets assists, but how low is too low of a FG% for a conference MVP? Evans is at 42% from field and has better 3FG% and FT% numbers than Gorecki as well.

Game of back-and-forth runs so far.

I have no horse in this race but she is definitely playing up her Alma-Mater so that is what I am implying. In fact, I just stated it, not implying it. I am sure Triad is watching the game with the sound off.

Cunane now 9 of 9 from the field...19 points. End of 3rd quarter...Duke leads 48-43.

Rooting for Duke to Win. NC State loss, might help UConn get a more favorable #2 Seed.

 

[Plebe]

Is anyone else for NC State gonna help out, or is Cunane gonna win this all by herself?

Hey - Ace is just getting warmed up.

 

[LETTERL]

Timeout Duke...4:32 left. Duke still leads, 57-52.

NC State has never led in this game.

Wolfpack Women didn't really take advantage of Odom's foul trouble. This, despite a fantastic performance from Elissa Cunane, who has 21 points and has grabbed 10 rebounds.

 

[LETTERL]

Duke commits a shot clock violation. Media timeout...4:10 left.

 

[LETTERL]

Timeout NC State...under a minute to go now, and Duke leading 65-60.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Duke is trying to give away the game. Missed Free Throws. Also IMO the dumb full court pass on the out of bounds play. They should have been running clock. That play took 3 Seconds. Duke didn't score and NC State got the ball right back.

 

[LETTERL]

Jakia Brown-Turner nails a THREE for NC State. Timeout Duke...43 seconds left. 66-63 game.

 

[LETTERL]

Gorecki with a runner...68-63. Timeout NC State. 19 seconds left.

 

[Argonaut]

I think I just heard @triaddukefan from the other side of NC.

 

[Wbbfan1]

That NC State TO probably gave Duke the Game 5 Point lead with 14 Seconds left.

 

[Plebe]

I would pay good money to see @triaddukefan sitting next to that NC State fan who's always hollering at the refs.

 

[WestCoast]

I think I just heard @triaddukefan from the other side of NC.

JPM can smile now. She was pretty grumpy during the final quarter.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Great Win for Duke 70-65 over NC State. IMO also helps UConn as they might get a more favorable #2 Seeding.
