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 Kara Lawson says men's ball used in 1st half vs. FSU

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.

Doesnt happen much in the WNBA though

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?
