Realizing that she is facing a major challenge tomorrow night when All-American point guard Jasmine Thomas leads No. 3 Duke against UConn, the Huskies' freshman guard Bria Hartley didn't play in the final 17:40 against Cincinnati on Saturday and took most of Sunday's practice off.

Hartley did suffer a right foot injury, which was originally reported as an ankle injury, in the game against North Carolina but neither Hartley nor UConn coach Geno Auriemma seemed overly concerned about the condition of her foot.

"We want to keep it from getting worse, we want to make it start feeling better," Hartley said.

I haven't heard of any new updates on ticket sales but it would be a surprise if the Duke was not an advanced sellout. Among those expected to be in attendance is highly sought after recruit Breanna Stewart, the No. 1 player in the high school Class of 2012. Stewart is a 6-foot-3 forward at Cicero-North Syracuse, N.Y. who is being recruited heavily by Duke and UConn.
