4:43 left 3rd quarter...NC State has run out to a 39-31 lead. Frenetic pace...lots of turnovers from both teams (12 apiece.)

How about a nice IPA from one of our famous Oregon Micro breweries?

Ahh... Bend, Oregon. Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA is one of my fav's!

NC State has started the 2nd half really well, and has pushed out to a 10-point lead with about 2:00 left in 3Q. This team has good chemistry. Especially impressed with Grace Hunter, Kiara Leslie and Aislinn Konig. Duke, meanwhile, has gone cold.

Gorecki goes off and Duke only down 2 at the end of the 3rd

I was flipping channels and found this on ROOT Sports in my neck of the woods. Watched a bit. Some serious momentum swings in this game.

 

[Plebe]

Big buckets by Gorecki and then a buzzer beater by Boykin.

This Duke team doesn't bear any resemblance to the team that lost to Northwestern and Washington.

Wow, really low scoring game, huh?

 

[LETTERL]

Timeout Duke...3:18 left. NC State leads 50-46.
NC State has gone ice cold from THREE...now only 6 of 24 for the game.

 

[Shades]

Looks like Duke is going to let this one slip away.

 

[LETTERL]

Freshman center Elissa Cunane has taken over...NC State on an 11-2 run and now up 57-46, 1:39 left.

 

[nwhoopfan]

It was a game of runs, figures whoever had the last one was going to win.

 

[LoTrader]

Just too many unforced turnovers for Duke.

 

[nwhoopfan]

That's horrible, you can hear the NC State player screaming in pain. I had to turn the volume off.

 

[LETTERL]

Wolfpack leading scorer Grace Hunter is down and in obvious pain.

 

[LETTERL]

That doesn't look good at all...

 

[nwhoopfan]

That didn't look good, knee buckled at a weird angle. Best wishes to her.

 

[Plebe]

Awful to see that. This was my first time to watch her play and she is a great player. Really sad.

 

[triaddukefan]

Hate to see that........ hard to watch.

 

[LETTERL]

Final: NC State defeats Duke, 63-51, and is now 14-0, tying the 1999-2000 team for best start in school history.

My nerves are shot. I need a shot of whiskey.
