It's the morning after and I think we are all still high from yesterday's win. The only problem is we have another task at hand today at 1: Winning the ACC Championship. I think we showed a ton of toughness yesterday. We kept the lead the whole first half and then when Duke went up 1 we answered and put the game away for good. Nothing was sweeter than the look of shock on the face of Coach G as the game's final minutes counted down.

Postives
Team toughness. We came off tough to start the game and after halftime and then withstood the Duke run. I have waited all year for us to do this and todaay it paid off.
Coleman. She took over when Lang and Harper couldn't get anything going down low. Her defense was better than it has been and she did a great job on Currie. And she grabbed 13 boards.
Harper. She proved me wrong after Friday's bad game. She even responded after missing her first few shots and went at the bigger players.
Langhorne. With the game on the line, she demanded the ball and took it at Williams, Bales and Black. She also ended her rebounding drought against them with 10.
Toliver. Controlled the offense great and only rushed one shot.
Newman. Early foul trouble, but she kept her head in the game and played lock down defense.
Doron. Didn't play much due to injury, but made the key free throws at the end of the game.
Jade. With Harper struggling she went in and knocked down two shots over the taller players.
Rebounding. We were down at half and then responded in the second half to outrebound Duke.
Defense. We played great for all but that 4 minute stretch by Duke.
Negatives
Free Throw Shooting. Another not so good effort especially down the stretch. We will get better though.
Turnovers. We had some dumb ones at certain times, but overall I am ok with it.
