Tennessee vs. Duke

The game was great. Duke had a great game plan. The first half their defense had a great hold on Parker. She was held to under 10 points. Duke stayed strong in the paint, with Chante Black being the points for the the Blue Devils. Waner out shooting has slipped which has left a hole is the perimeter for Duke, they need her sharp shooting to keep a balance. Duke has the inside outside game but until both are hitting Duke's offense is one-sided.

UT has weapons all already but it was obvious that Parker was rattled in the first half. The first half was a strong showing of the ACCs strenght in the Duke maintained the score.

The difference in the game was the offensive rebounding of UT. The second chance points made a difference in the second half with Duke not able to keep them off the boards. Even though Duke lost they had opportunites to win but Waner will make the difference in many tough games as she regains her shooting touch.

Duke and UT may meet again in the Final Four, who will bring their A game.
