RALEIGH -- As Georgia State's hopes of stealing a win from the top-seeded Blue Devils faded, Lindsey Harding slammed the door on the Lady Panthers with a steal of her own.
You'd be surprised if mighty Duke had squandered its pristine record and place atop college basketball with a loss to unheralded Florida State. The Blue Devils' lofty ranking was in great danger of being chopped down by the Seminoles Sunday afternoon, particularly when Alana Beard was strapped to the bench after picking up her fourth foul with 12:16 remaining in the game.

A stunned Mosch tumbled backwards and fell into a hapless Duke cheerleader. Mosch remained on the floor for a moment laughing while the cheerleader limped towards the sideline. Mosch soon picked herself up and joined the No. 1 Blue Devils before a 100-51 shellacking of Premier Players.
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Sitting alone in my hotel room, having just returned from Northwestern's 26-21 win over Duke, I flipped on the television to find my hometown favorite Ohio State Buckeyes in a grudge match with Washington State. At the time I started watching, OSU was losing by the modest deficit of 7-6. Soon, however, freshman Maurice Clarett took over the game, running by and with defenders en route to a 230-yard performance and a 25-7 victory.
