Little surprise Duke didn't hold up. That's good for ND. *

Their inability to score is costing them this game. D is top notch but can’t win if you can’t score.


They are all holding the ball in place against the zone

Isn't ball movement the way you beat a zone? They are standing still and/or dribbling in place until there is no time left on the clock. It makes no sense.


And Launching Longer & More Improbable Three's

Yes, a combination of ball and people movement (to open areas) is the way to go on a zone.

This will often result in open three's, but since Duke was standing there, all those three's were contested.

And then Day-Wilson decided to play Hero Ball...it was Colorado's game then.


Like Kelly Gramlich, Don't Know Why Day-Wilson Is Back In

She's keeping the ball, taking quick jumpers and making wild drives down the pipe.

What's a bit more surprising is Balogun is making uncharacteristic mistakes.

Celeste Taylor looks out on her feet after all the running she's done.


I don’t get the love for Day Wilson

All she does is shoot a lot and miss a lot


Tried Playing Hero Ball Against a Zone.

Kelly Gramlich and I were both scratching our respective heads when Coach Lawson took out DeJesus who had helped Duke scratch out a slight lead with decent shooting and replaced her with Day-Wilson who, up to that point, was 1-5 or something like that. She finished 1-9 with 4 turnovers. 0 assists.
It goes to her and it's a black hole. Gone.

If Celeste Taylor doesn't use her Covid year and goes pro, I have no idea what this team is going to do from a cohesiveness standpoint because Day-Wilson looks out for #1.


Agree. And this is not an isolated case. Same MO

repeatedly. Didn't she win ACC freshman of the year? Hard to see how that happened.


Duke seemed to panic a bit *

Agree. Took Hard Shots Very Quickly. Feel for Celeste Taylor *
