When you see women’s teams blowing other teams out, you have to pause for a minute and realize that parity on the women’s side is not (yet) what it is on the men’s side. Massive blowouts are still fairly common, especially at this time of year, when buy games and exam breaks end up with major mismatches.
But in Duke’s case, you have to start paying attention, and specifically because of Duke’s defense.
Duke is 9-1, having lost to UConn 78-50. . The losing opponents have scored 57, 50, 37, 52, 41, 41, 50, 49 and 31.
