Shoot the ball well, take care of the ball, and play great defense, none of which they do well.

The only way Duke wins is UConn beats themselves by playing a real bad game for 40 minutes.

For Duke to beat UConn they would need a miracle.
(I really wish Oldude had not stolen my thunder with his own a minute ago.)

Duke's zone defense has to completely stymie UConn's offense. Lexie Brown has to play like Skylar Diggins did against UConn. That is take over the game driving into the lane to draw fouls and get to the Free Throw line. Force UConn to play Irwin and/or Bent due to foul problems by the first 7 players.

A couple of UConn starters get in foul trouble, the chemistry is disrupted, the 3 ball not going in. The end.

1. Have more assists than turnovers, or commit fewer than 11.
2. Nae Odom must be a consistent scoring threat while staying out of foul troble.
3. A double double from Erin Mathias
4. Double digit scoring for Becca and 5+ rebounds.
5. 3+ steals from Lexi Brown
6. An energized bench
7. Survive the first quarter.
8. Bad Dangerfield
9. Limit Kia Nurse 3s.

I can really go on...

There's some individuals whose just going to go out and get there's. You can't deny that. What you can do is contain the people around them and hope it puts more pressure on that individual.

The afternoon is dark Duke, and full of terrors. At this point I would like to officially welcome Duke to the s@*k.

6 UConn players average double digit scoring. Who are you going to contain? Its pick your poison time.
