Duke made one hell of a comeback when they took over Ohio State in the second round about a week back. However, in today’s clash, it seemed like they did not even try to win against UConn. Suspicious much? The Blue Devils did not suit up for tonight’s game as well as they should have. Paige Bueckers dropped 24 and Aaliyah Edwards, with her ability to check both offensive and defensive fronts for the Huskies, also ensured a smart win.
