Duke Women's Basketball is the real deal

Peter Koutroumpis - PKS Consulting LLC

Yes, there are eight other NCAA women's basketball teams currently ranked ahead of the #9 Duke Blue Devils.

However, if you get the chance to watch this team live in historic Cameron Indoor Stadium, you will know what I mean.

Averaging 100 points per game over their past two victories over USC Upstate and UNC-Wilmington, you really find out that they can score.

With one more game on the road against the Temple Owls before starting Atlantic Coast Conference play in January, the Blue Devils will definitely continue to be a team to watch throughout the season and leading up to tournament time.

Catch a game. You won't be disappointed.
