DURHAM, N.C. – With only 10 days until the 2017-18 Duke women’s basketball team opens the regular season, the Blue Devils earned a No. 12 preseason listing by the Associated Press writers Thursday when the top 25 was released. Duke has been tabbed in the top 15 of the ledger in 17 out of the last 18 years.
The Blue Devils finished the regular season ninth in the Associated Press poll a year ago with a 28-6 mark and return four starters in 2017-18, including All-America candidates Lexie Brown and Rebecca Greenwell.
