Looking forward to Kennedy vs. our bigs. If KB left because of appearing to lose out to Jelena, she should be motivated for this game. Or they will all hug and we will find there’s no ill will anywhere (which is what I actually expect to see).
Duke is an athletic team, I expect it will be another tough game.

Justified or not, all things being equal, Dukes reputation academically pulls a lot of weight. They are like the Stanford of the East Coast and that in itself is a draw. I personally think academic reputation is over blown, but most people seem to value degree's from one school more than anothers. Brown probably realized that her basketball abilities were not as good as she first thought. Her post college basketball options are somewhat limited so she did the smart thing by going for a Duke degree which has a lot of value in respect to her non athletic career.

If Duke is the Stanford of the East Coast, what does that make Harvard and Yale?

Surprised Mannen is starting.
OSU starts 0-9 from the floor but only down 4-0.

Based on what I'm seeing so far, this is a very winnable game if we get our shots to fall. Duke is pretty aggressive on defense and getting some early foul calls. From pre-game analysis, Coach Kara was quoted as not being happy with their "effort" against UConn. They may come out a little hot to compensate for that. We could exploit that to our advantage.

I don't think Mannen is necessarily overwhelmed out there, but I question how much she's really capable of adding especially if she's going to play big minutes. If she started hitting the occasional open 3 more consistently or a pull up J now and then, then it would be a little better

If Duke is the Stanford of the East Coast, what does that make Harvard and Yale? Great schools that are Division I but don't really play big-time athletics like Stanford and Duke, great schools that do.

If she started hitting the occasional open 3 more consistently, then it would be a little better She's bringing more than what's easily seen - for example, she's the only one acting like she wants the ball in her hands against the press. Right now she and Beers are the only ones not playing on their heels as well. I believe a lot of what she brings is mental, an that shows up in her +/-.

Beavs down 16-11 after 1Q. I really like Raegan’s game. She always seems to know where she is (in relation to the basket) and what she’s trying to do.

It helps on defense and going after loose balls, etc. But it only goes so far.
