#3 Duke Rolls Over Miami, 72-42 by Rob Clough Cameron Indoor Stadium January 03, 2007 The Nutshell: The Miami Hurricanes played Duke to a standstill in the early going of this game as Duke was impatient on offense. Duke broke open a tight game with a 24-2 run over the last ten minutes of the first half, thanks to its defense and rebounding. Alison Bales played shooting guard in the first half with several long jumpers while Lindsey Harding & Abby Waner pushed the tempo. With 11-2 and 14-1 runs in the second half, the rout was quickly on. Duke's defense held Renee Taylor, the ACC's leading scorer, to 15 points on 4-14 shooting and forced 6 turnovers. The Canes shot just 26% and Duke won 72-42 despite shooting just 36% themselves. Bales, Waner & Carrem Gay all finished in double figures for the Devils.
