The first murmurs about Duke women’s basketball coming to Toledo this season were heard last March at the Mid-American Conference basketball tournament.
The source was credible, but it still seemed far-fetched. Why would the Blue Devils willingly enter a raucous road environment against one of the top mid-majors in the country?
As it turns out that’s exactly what Duke coach Kara Lawson wants: a hostile atmosphere to help her team. Hey, it worked last time.
