The odds have to be that someday Wake Forest will again win a women's basketball game against Duke. But from where the Deacons are sitting right now, that probably looks like a long way off. Haley Peters had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the sophomore's first career double-double, leading four players in double figures as the Blue Devils walloped the Deacons 75-43 Thursday night for their...

Inviting the Connecticut women to visit is a little like hosting the Mongol Horde: there's a good chance your village is going to get torched.

Nobody beats No. 5 Duke like this. Not this badly, and not on its home court. Well, nobody except for No. 3 Connecticut. The Blue Devils had their 34-game winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium snapped in decisive fashion, missing 19 consecutive shots over roughly 12 minutes in a 61-45 loss to UConn on Monday night.
30 January 2012 | 9:28 pm
No. 3 Connecticut traveled to Cameron Indoor Stadium and made itself right at home inside No. 5 Duke's famously noisy arena. Again. UConn, the last visiting team to win at Cameron, snapped the Blue Devils' 34-game home winning streak with a 61-45 victory Monday night, forcing Duke to miss 19 consecutive shots during one stretch.

Clemson coach Itoro Coleman doesn't expect to endure many more blowouts from No. 5 Duke. In two seasons, the former Tiger standout guard has watched her program lose 92-37 and, on Friday night, 81-37. She swears better days are coming for Clemson women's basketball. "We're not going to be this Clemson team forever," Coleman said.
27 January 2012 | 10:57 pm
Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said her team found a way to get better despite another runaway over Clemson. McCallie thought the fifth-ranked Blue Devils gave up way too many points in their 80-72 showdown victory over No. 8 Maryland last Monday, so she was especially pleased that her players' defense never wavered in an 81-37 victory over the Tigers on Friday night.
27 January 2012 | 10:27 pm
The women had an impressive victory over Maryland, winning 80-72 behind strong games from Chelsea Gray and Haley Peters, who scored 17 and 21 respectively. Here's more from GoDuke.com.

No. 5 Duke and No. 8 Maryland looked pretty similar on the stat sheet, and played just as evenly on the court. Except for two key differences: The Blue Devils were rebounding with a vengeance, and down the stretch, they had Chelsea Gray. Gray scored seven of her 17 points in the final 3 minutes and had 11 assists in Duke's 80-72 victory over the Terrapins on Sunday, its 10th straight win.
