Here's a breakdown of the areas that Duke has succeeded in recently.
This Duke team is in no way the same team they were in December and early January, when it lost five straight. It has been a complete turnaround for a squad that looked to be completely lost just weeks ago.
The Blue Devils finished strong to eke out a win against a ranked team.
The Blue Devils' cohesiveness as a unit was on full display Thursday night, impressing a coaching staff that has known what this team could accomplish.
The national women’s basketball polls are a mess right now.
The Blue Devils appeared to have no trouble in paradise Sunday afternoon.
It's Haley Gorecki’s world. The Tar Heels are just living in it.
In the final home North Carolina matchup of her college career, the star guard finished with 25 points on an efficient 7-of-12 shooting.
It’s always a huge game when North Carolina ventures into Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke would beat the odds and lose this one Sunday, producing another close loss to a ranked opponent for the Blue Devils.
It's now been 713 days since Duke beat a ranked opponent in the regular season.
In 2004, Alana Beard became the first woman to have her jersey hung up in the rafters of Cameron Indoor Stadium. Now, after a record-setting college run and all-star WNBA career, she’s hanging up her basketball shoes too.
It appears that the Blue Devils have turned the corner in the past two weeks, but a formidable in-state rival will march into Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday at 2 p.m.
Duke secured its ninth win in Cameron Sunday afternoon.
This season hasn't been smooth for the Blue Devils, but everything fell in place against the Yellow Jackets.
Of their 11 remaining games, the Blue Devils face three ranked opponents and have six games on the road, all the more reason that Gorecki will need a strong second option to complement her.
Similar to a ping pong game, it appears as though Duke goes back and forth between struggle and prosperity every week during ACC play.
In some sense, Odom is emblematic of the women’s basketball program as a whole.
What the Tigers lacked in offensive schematics, they made up for in hustle, racking up 22 second-chance points.
Coming off a tight victory against Notre Dame, the Blue Devils are looking to notch their third straight ACC win against Clemson.
