#5 LSU Women’s Basketball Faces Duke in ACC/SEC Challenge, Eyes Continued Dominance

DURHAM, NC – The LSU women’s basketball team will look to extend their winning streak and solidify their #5 national ranking as they travel to Durham to take on the Duke Blue Devils in the ACC/SEC Challenge Thursday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM CT and will be broadcast on ESPN.

The Tigers (8-0) are coming off a record-breaking performance, scoring 100+ points in eight consecutive games, a feat unmatched in NCAA history. They surpassed their own previous record, held jointly with the 1985-86 LSU squad and Coach Kim Mulkey’s 1981-82 Louisiana Tech team.

This marks LSU’s third year participating in the ACC/SEC Challenge, and they have a perfect record in the event, having previously defeated Virginia Tech and Stanford.

While the two programs have a history, having met five times previously, this matchup marks the first time the teams will face off since 2010. It’s also notable for the disparity in rankings, as LSU is a top-5 team, while Duke, who started the season ranked #7, is currently unranked with a 3-5 record. The last meeting also was at Duke, which the Blue Devils won in the NCAA Tournament.
