The Blue Devils already played spoiler once in the NCAA Women’s Tournament, but the next round of March Madness brings with it another giant to slay.
Duke will play Connecticut on Saturday in the Sweet 16 as Reigan Richardson and the team try to upset Paige Bueckers and the Huskies.
Richardson has averaged 26.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game through two rounds, the first Blue Devil since Alana Beard to reach 25 points in consecutive tournament games.
Bueckers, in her first tournament action in two years, has scored 30 points per game with two double-doubles thus far.
Day: Saturday, March 30

The winner of Saturday’s game will play either Baylor or USC for a ticket to the Final Four.
