Jack Daly at the Herald Sun describes Coach G's worst nightmare:
"I think it actually got us going a little bit," Mo Currie said. "We knew that everybody had to do a little more since we were without our point guard."
Currie had one of the best games of her college career. Time and time again, she slashed through Terp defenders and took the ball straight to the rim. She finished with 31 points.
Maryland freshman Marissa Coleman was disconsolate after getting schooled by Mo. "It just makes me sick that I had that horrible of a defensive effort," she said.
In a close game late in the season, an indispensable member of the Duke team dives for a loose ball at the same time as an opponent. The players collide and the Blue Devils player — say point guard Lindsey Harding — starts writhing on the court, clutching her shoulder while screaming in obvious pain.It happened last night in Cameron. Harding went out when Duke had a slim two-point lead. But the Devils buckled down, played solid without their point guard, and took the big game over Maryland.
