What's with Duke?
UConn went to Duke today. Both were undefeated, and they were ranked #1 and #2 going into the game. The mood of the media and fans before the game seemed to be, "gosh, it would be nice if Duke put up a fight this time". This is the fourth year I've followed college basketball, and every year Duke is ranked high (usually top 10, sometimes top 5), and every year UConn destroys them.
This game was no different. UConn had a 20 point lead with five minutes left in the first half. Duke made a couple of runs here and there, but I don't think it got closer than thirteen.
The big news was that Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was back. She injured her elbow (of her shooting arm) against Stanford a month ago and hasn't played since. She came off the bench today because they weren't sure how much she'd be able to play. She ended up playing most of the game, scoring 21 points. (She was 7 of 11 from three.) Seven 3's was a personal best for her -- I guess she's feeling better!
