Duke Team Capsule

Posted: Wed March 14, 2001 at 8:55 a.m EST

Coach: Gail Goestenkors (9th year) Nickname: Blue Devils

Record and conference: 28-3, Atlantic Coast Seed, Region and Bid: 1, West, Automatic

Previous NCAA Tournament Bids: 7 NCAA Tournament Record: 14-7 Final Four Appearances: 1 NCAA Tournament Championships: None Best NCAA Tournament Finish: 1999, National Runner-ups Last NCAA Appearance: 2000, lost to LSU, 79-66, East Regional

Starters: F - Rochelle Parent (6-0, Sr., 5.1 ppg, 6.2 rpg) F - Iciss Tillis (6-4, Fr., 8.6 ppg, 5.6 rpg) F - Alana Beard (5-11, Fr., 16.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg) G - Georgia Schweitzer (6-0, Sr., 14.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg) G - Sheana Mosch (5-10, So., 11.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg)

Outlook: Duke has the quickest offense in college basketball. They run the break exceptionally well and can pull up from 3-point range as well. Georgia Schweitzer and Iciss Tilliss both shoot better than 37 percent from 3-point range. The Blue Devils are not a team with a lot o of size, but use their quickness to score and generate turnovers. They should breeze through the first two rounds and have a good shot at making it back to the title game.
