Healthy matchup? Not what I saw.
Hartley looks 100%. Gray? Not so much.
Disappointed to read that the series may not be renewed after next years game at UConn. I suspect its going to be difficult for Geno to schedule teams from the ACC as many teams may believe their schedule is tough enough and don't want to play a team like UConn. I would also think that ESPN and the other networks already have plans to nationally televise games when Duke and ND play each other. Therefore, no reason to schedule UConn to get on national television
Hartley brings the ball up as much as Jefferson.Yes, Bria has a lot of assists and an incredible assist-to-turnover ratio; however, MoJeff is the point guard, which has taken a lot of the pressure off Bria of having to bring the ball up the court. We shouldn't get over confident. Duke is a talented team, and depending on how healthy KML, Morgan and Kiah are, it could be a very close game. UConn 79-72.
Why would there be an issue with Stokes? She had a slight ankle turn and was was supposed to be back at practice last Sunday.Yes, Bria has a lot of assists and an incredible assist-to-turnover ratio; however, MoJeff is the point guard, which has taken a lot of the pressure off Bria of having to bring the ball up the court.

^^^^ THISThere is no evidence to suggest that ACC teams won't schedule UConn in the future because of the difficulty of the ACC schedule. In one breath McCallie mentions not scheduling UConn because of the difficult conference schedule, and then in another she talks with pride about how tough Duke's schedule is and about adding Tenn. She's all over the place on this issue. I suspect she's tired of getting her butt kicked and if any coach is going to emphasize the negatives associated with UConn's new conference with recruits it will be her. It seems pretty clear she won't renew the contract with UConn and it seems equally clear that her reasons have little to do with a tough in-conference schedule.
