Monique Currie's school record 43 points helped Duke hold off a scrappy Miami team in a 99-93 double overtime thriller.

The game was the second for the 'Canes in less than 48 hours and there was a decided height disadvantage in the middle. But Miami continued to stay in the game, and fought back from a 68-61 deficit in the final 1:33 to tie the game.

The last three points in regulation for Miami came from Tamara James at the free throw line. She was fouled by Wanisha Smith as she attempted a three point shot. James hit all three shots and sent the game to the first overtime.

Miami had a chance to win in the first overtime as they recovered the ball from a Lindsey Harding turnover. But Chante Black blocked Renee Taylor's shot as time expired.

Currie took over in the second overtime, scoring 15 points, including a 3-pointer that put Duke up for good at 83-80. She also went 10-10 from the line during the last minute and a half to secure the win. "I think at times that my team looks to me to put the ball in the basket,'' Currie said.

James led Miami with a team high 32 points, but it was the fourth loss in a row for the 'Canes. "When we have the ball with 10 seconds left and playing at home, you have to win the game,'' said Miami coach Katie Meier. ``That was our opportunity. We attacked the basket and we were aggressive with it. It just didn't work out for us.''
