DUKE VS ALBANY

[Bigpetunia]

Albany is mediocre in the extreme! Beating Duke 22-20 with 4 minutes to go in first half. Duke pretty awful under Coach P. They'll win this, I guess, but they ain't gonna scare nobody!

Duke now has a very imposing one point lead over the 13 seed at the half. They've been held to 26. EMBARRASSING!!

Pretty sad performance.

there could be transfers at halftime

Must be 10 below and 5 feet of snow outside cause there ain't nobody inside. I'm happy for the Dook kids that postgame McCallie won't have access to any buses.

Albany actually is rated better in Sagarin than the St. Johns team that some wanted in the Tourney ahead of Tulane, so they are at least among the top 75 teams.

Looks like the Duke players ran to the bus instead of the locker room at halftime to get prepared for the post game interviews.

Totally terrible attendance. That is embarrassing. I know someone was complaining about a noon game but please this is horrible.

People like to complain about the regionals being held in CT a lot but dammit we show up regardless of who's playing.

Notre dame, uconn, Baylor, South Carolina, Louisville , Maryland, University of Hartford and Albany would all have at least 6,000 at the first round game. I'm shocked at the non support of their women's program of Duke.

Maybe they were running to the bus to avoid being thrown under it...

 

[Blueballer]

Duke is such an offensive force. 36 points against Albany with 12 minutes left in game. Wow.

 

[lanieer]

At least ESPN is able to show the Pep Band. I was hoping Duke has some support.

Please Ct Sun do not take Elizabeth Williams!!!!!

Albany has a pretty talented team. I have seen them play before. Yesterday someone posted Cinderella's and I said Albany. Plus, one of my friends starts for the Danes.

In a fit of what must have been madness, I actually selected Duke as the team to win the region. It was never a logical thing - more of a gut feeling. I just felt like it was "their time," and that they had a good regional for it.

That pick is looking weaker all the time.

Albany leads

Albany has a nice little team but Duke is flatter than a pancake. No life. Down -1 now.

Um... I'm at work and I have the scoreboard up on one screen and am sort of working on the other... this one may go down to the wire. This is why work should be put on hold during March madness... Can we get a law passed about that or something?

Don't think you have to worry too much. If this games goes south for Duke she'll never get out from under the bus that JPM will put her under. She might as well go straight to Med school.

Duke is certainly giving Albany a run for its money.

She's throwing herself under this bus. With her height advantage in this game she should be blocking everything in sight. Much of the time she just stands with her hands straight up.

 

[Blueballer]

Has Duke ever played defense before?

 

[John Glass]

Duke has 27 turnovers- they should automatically be declared the loser

Box score says she has 7 blocks and 10 rebounds. Shot is off but looks like she playing hard.
