Maybe Kira Lawson knew what she was doing with our November schedule after all ??? Lady 👩 Blue Devils win 💙 sixth straight after 3-6 start with the latest one coming against a Top 20 foe !

As soon as I saw the November schedule for Duke University Women’s Basketball 🏀 I immediately thought two things. First, I am so going to travel to the bizarre eight games and my second one was I hope we can go 4-4.

Paris, France 🇫🇷 was the starting point and from there it was The Greenbriar Resort (versus West Virginia ) ➕ at Liberty University and University of South Florida. The team did sneak in two home games before heading to Las Vegas, joining Texas, UCLA & South Carolina in a Thanksgiving doubleheader.

After the stretch (3-5) it was home to host LSU. That loss dropped the team to 3-6 on the season and I wondered if Lawson had possibly damaged the team psyche by throwing them into the deep end of the pool ?

Fast Forward to today and Duke sits at 9-6 and one of four undefeated teams in the ACC !

First five victories were non – descript but this one came against an always tough Notre Dame team that entered the day ranked #18.

Womens Basketball 🏀 is alive and well, especially in the Atlantic Coast Conference !!!

Game #3 of 3 takes us to Cedar City, Utah and the campus of Southern Utah University for a showdown between the Thunderbirds and the Mavericks of Texas – Arlington!

Western Athletic Conference opener for both teams and the visitors are slight favorites but the cool story here is the color commentator for the TV 📺 broadcast is clearly a fellow Seahawks fan and is watching the game while announcing this one! Classic stuff…

Duke leads 55 – 28 at the break !

We are ready to start our Basketball 🏀 Triple Header as the Lady 👩 Trailblazers of Utah Tech host Chicago State here in St. George and back on The Hill we have Middle School 🏫 Hoops x 2 !!!

If you are new to one of our running 🏃‍♂️ Blog posts 📫, here’s what you are looking at – Beth Bouldin will be sending me notes 📝 and pictures 📷 from the Middle School 🏫 action and later on I use the information that this Kind Lady provides, sprinkle a bit of my own take and then check ✔ with Darian Brown and Kris Richardson in order to complete a game story.

The key 🔑 ingredient that hasn’t been listed yet is getting a copy of the scorebooks! The idea 💡 is to list as many names of players as possible in the story.

The Utah Tech game is tied in as what I call background noise as we continue to show support for the ” Local ” team.
