A few days ago, Graham Hays wrote about Duke "seeking an new identity." It's not been an easy task in St. Thomas, as they Blue Devils have battled against Purdue and Temple. Last night against the unranked Owls, the Blue Devils earned a stubborn, and yet somewhat out-of-sync 64-53 victory. Temple was able to tie the game at 38 early in the second, and came withing 4 with just under three left, but Duke was able to come away with the victory.

Carrem Gay had 13 points and 12 rebounds for Duke (5-0), and Chante Black added 13 points. Duke is still missing Abby Waner (high ankle sprain) thought she seems closer and closer to getting on the court.

Duke's Sunday opponent will be UConn, who started slowly against a scrappy and determined ODU team, but then blew the doors off and rolled to a 86-43 victory. Tina Charles led the Huskies with 15 points and seven rebounds, Renee Montgomery scored 12, Maya Moore posted 10 points and six assists, and Kalana Greene had 10 points and five rebounds.
