Duke has not been competitive with UConn since Maya arrived. The Blue Devils are averaging about 46 ppg over the past 5. Last year in Philly, Maya hit the 3,000-point level and was clearly the best player on the floor. This year, without Maya, our scoring was down, but Duke's was not up.

"If nothing else, at least this game -- a 61-45 Huskies victory -- wasn't decided before halftime. Is that a very low bar to set for a matchup between the third- and fifth-ranked teams in the nation? Well, sure it is."

AP Photo/Sara D. DavisKaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and UConn held Duke to 24.6 percent shooting.
"But since UConn won the previous four games in this series by an average of 32.5 points, anything less than annihilation might be considered progress for Duke."
