Duke basketball loyalists are certainly counting down the days until Countdown to Craziness, but the women’s basketball team will play in front of a crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium the next day as well.
The team announced on Wednesday that it would host an open practice at the iconic stadium on October 5, the day after the kickoff fan event.
Additional details about the open practice were not made available, but the 2023 open practice at Cameron Indoor began at 9:30 a.m. with doors opening a half-hour before.
It’s been a few months since Duke’s big upset over Ohio State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, but the stars of Durham remained busy this offseason. Head coach Kara Lawson won her third Olympic gold medal, this time as an assistant for Team USA women’s basketball, and pulled in two five-star freshmen and a former five-star talent from the transfer portal. Arianna Roberson, one of those five-star forwards, won gold with the American team and the FIBA U18 AmeriCup.

After 48 wins over the last two seasons, expectations remain high for the fourth full season in the Lawson era.
