OT: Duke v UNC Women Use Men's Basketball For Entire Half

[Chin Diesel]

How does this happen?

High level D1 basketball and not a single player from either team notices it and says anything to a coach or ref until halftime???

Duke's Lawson says men's ball used in FSU game

Duke coach Kara Lawson said the teams played with a men's basketball for the first half of a loss to Florida State on Sunday.

First there was "Deflategate".

I guess this would be "Inflategate"?

Hard to believe that it could happen. The difference is immediately noticeable. Who exactly is she trying to blame for this? Sounds like a bushel of sour grapes to me.

My takeaway from the article is it’s not the first time women played with men’s balls.

It would be a first for a Womens basketball player though.

It doesn't even matter Duke shot basically the same with both. Lawson just wants to cry about something.

I wonder if the women practice with a mens basketball… would it then make it easier in the games playing with a women’s basketball?
