Duke survived a horrendous 2nd quarter (scored 5 points) to overcome Richmond 72-61 and advance to face Celeste Taylor and Ohio State on Sunday.

I enjoy Kentucky losing almost as much as when carolina loses. Almost.

OHHHHHHHHkland! Poor Cal, looked like a dead man walking leaving the court.

Duke Hall of Famer and Miami head coach Katie Meier is calling it a career. I remember her being approached when G left for Texas; it was a mild surprise to many that she didn't come to Duke. That's a big surprise, but if she's ready now, better to go than hang on while it's painful. I'm sure she's...

Duke Hall of Famer and Miami head coach Katie Meier is calling it a career. Katie Meier, who led the Miami women's basketball team to 10 NCAA tournaments and guided the Hurricanes to the Elite Eight last season, announced her retirement from coaching Thursday. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-bas...

Absolutely brutal selection for Duke. We're off as a 7 to play 10 seed Richmond. Assuming we get past them, we then will likely be saying hi to Celeste Taylor and two seed Ohio State on their home court. IF we get out of the weekend, we also have #1 USC, #3 UCONN, #4 VT, and #6 Syracuse all in our b...

Vermont won't be an easy win, and Wiscy/JMU winner won't be either.

I won't be shocked if we are not Sweet Sixteen bound this year.

It took extra innings, but Duke made the most of the 8th with four runs to secure the 9-5 win over Florida State. This is Duke's first series win over the Noles, and even better, they did it in their house!

Huge win for the program.

Welcome to the dance, Wuffies

Both teams are winners!

SB was trouncing FSU by 10 late in the game, but then allowed the Seminoles bats to wake up, so we won by 5. BB won pretty soundly too.

In the "Duke Sports you CAN watch this weekend" department, both teams are playing ACC foes. Softball is in Tallahassee, playing a lesser but still always dangerous #16 FSU team, while baseball takes on #10 Clemson in Coombs. Maybe the basketball team can come watch, they have nothing else to do. BB...

There's still 5 minutes left in this game and all I'm seeing is a very short post-season.

Rumor has the score Duke 18 and Rider 4 late in the game.

Yup, that game was over after the 1st, which ended 10-4 Duke. Nice recovery from our bats.

Duke Softball continued their winning streak yesterday, Duke Baseball did not.
SB beat a good Liberty team, BB lost to a bad Rider team. (BB plays Rider again today.)

This is a nice link from WRAL Sports to keep yourself up to date for the tourney. It's an interactive bracket with real-time scores. They had the same thing for the women and worked great.

Duke Softball is also ranked third this week.

With the series win over Wake, Duke Baseball moves up to third in the polls, Duke's highest ever ranking.

As far as I know, this is the first time both diamond teams have been in the top 10 together. (Top 5 together, actually)

Down goes Wake!!
Duke takes game three, 10-8!

Softball pitched another shutout today.

Baseball beat #1 Wake Forest, WOOOO!!! First time since 2016 that Duke has beaten a #1 team. Tonight was in Winston-Salem.
One more win and Duke will have a huge series victory under their belt.

Duke played a nice game, but some bad shooting and bad decisions gave State the game today.

Now we wait to find out where we'll head for our NCAA tourney journey.
