What a wonderful season. Kara has the Duke Women's Program rolling in the very right direction.

Can't wait to see that ACCT banner in Cameron! :happy-bouncyblue:

Sad about yesterday, but clearly trending in the right direction. :9f:

Crossing fingers that the portal is kind to us, in that everyone stays. I've got the impression that this group of women really does enjoy playing with each other and for Kara, so I'm feeling good that we'll be going into next season intact. That's an exciting thought!

Duke is 7th in the final rankings, which is very respectable. We end the season as the highest ACC team, and we'll likely start next season the same way along with being the pre-season conference favorite.

Only two players have entered the portal, and that's likely to be the final count. (Battison and Cotton)

I look forward to seeing Toby Fournier next season. I like her strong moves to the basket.

Agreed, and some time in the Duke weight room should pay off really well, too. Stronger moves!

Oluchi is in the portal, that really hurts.

Oluchi Okananwa is ranked 11th in ESPN's top portal players list.

I'm not giving up hope that she doesn't come back until she signs with another team, I suppose she might be kicking tires.

I've seen in various places that Kara unfollowed Oluchi, and then vice versa, on social media. At this point, I hold out very little hope that Looch is coming back.
