First our apologies: we thought that the men’s ACC Basketball Tipoff was on Tuesday. Actually the women went first on Tuesday and the men are up Wednesday.
For Duke, Kara Lawson is excited about getting started and says that consistency and maintaining standards is the key: “We hope to be more consistent in meeting our standard. We want to be a better defensive team than we were a year ago. We want to be more disruptive. We want to be more complete offensively. So you just try to be more consistent in those areas.”
Although Lexi Gordon, Miela Goodchild, Jade Williams and Onome Akinbode-James are gone, Kara Lawson has some wonderful players to work with, notably Shayeann Day-Wilson, who was a terrific point guard as a freshman.
