To the Cameron Crazies

I speak for the entire Duke women's basketball program when I thank you for the great support you've given us this year. We're No. 1 in the polls, the only undefeated team in the country and have won the ACC regular season title. This is our first undefeated regular season, the best start ever by any ACC team and a step closer to that NCAA Championship Banner that we desire.

We have our final home game this Sunday at 4 p.m. on ESPN, as we face No. 4 North Carolina. We beat them at their gym a few weeks ago, so we want to see the Cameron Crazies out in full force as they come to our house. We want to have the sea of Duke Blue in both the undergraduate and graduate student sections. Let's finish our year with the same strength and enthusiastic environment we have presented the entire season.

This will also be senior day for our co-captains Alison Bales and Lindsey Harding as they play their final game in Cameron Indoor Stadium. They will be honored in a pre-game ceremony so please be a part of thanking our seniors who have been the foundation of the team this year. Lindsey is one of the leading candidates for both National Player of the Year and National Defensive Player of the Year, while Ali is already the Duke and ACC's all-time shot-blocker.

There is no doubt that you have been our sixth man when we needed you, especially against Maryland earlier this year. It was great that you stayed after the game was over and cheered on our players as they were interviewed on TV. It means a lot to us and we appreciate it.

Fans on TV, potential recruits and, importantly, the competition all notice it too. Our players and my staff did their part in making it tough, but so did you.

Let's show the nation why the "Cameron Crazies" are the best fans in the land on Sunday against the Tar Heels!

We all look forward to seeing you at the game.

Gail Goestenkors is the women's basketball head coach.
