Kara Lawson has gradually made Duke a force in women’s basketball, and as part of that rise, her Blue Devils are getting some tough draws schedule-wise. And along those lines, Duke will play Dawn Staley’s powerhouse South Carolina team again this fall as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge.
The Gamecocks will come to Cameron on December 3rd.
South Carolina is a formidable opponent, but the only way to get to the level of a South Carolina, UConn, or UCLA, is to play those teams.
In short, it’s a great opportunity for the Blue Devils to improve.
