The Aggie Women’s Basketball team hosted the Duke Blue Devils on Sunday afternoon in the first test for A&M vs a power conference team. Duke is at the receiving votes level and is picked to finish in the middle of the ACC. The Blue Devils return most of their lineup from last season, but that lineup underachieved, missing the NCAA tournament after going .500 overall and 6-10 in a tough conference.
Athletic opponents that play zone defense have been trouble for Blair teams over the years, especially early in the season when players are learning the system. So when Duke erased a 9 point Aggie lead in the second quarter, there was need to adjust.
