Coming out party for Jadyn Donovan! 12 pts on 5-7 shooting, 6 rebs, 2 st, 3 blks. Kennedy Brown finished with career high 17 pts. Duke was up only 7 at haltime but came out of the half on fire and put the game away. Final: Duke 70 Toledo 45. Toledo had to play without their best player and high scorer, who sprained her ankle in their last game.
Duke's next game is 12/28, then really starts ACC play 12/20.
If anyone saw the article in The Next titled "knife girls" Duke was second on their list of teams with talented young players who will either filet you from 20 feet or stab themselves trying to make impossible plays. As soon as I read the title and they described "knife girl" teams, I thought Duke HAS to be on the list - and there they were 2nd team listed as exempliyfing "knife girl" teams.
So yes, the Duke youngsters stabbed themselves a lot as they do against most teams. Then they had 4-5 min stretches of being on fire, showing their talent. It's going to be a roller coaster year where the kids hit targets with their knives all the way to the Sweet Sixteen or more often stab themselves and watch the entire tournament on TV.
