I agree, Duke was not the most dominant women's team I have ever seen, and Duke will get crushed at UCONN, but if Toledo played this Duke team 100 times, Toledo would be 0-100. Toledo will win the MAC and may win the MAC easily, but Toledo does not have the athletes to match Duke's. I thought Toledo played pretty decent defense, but Duke played better defense. Duke did not give Toledo much space for open looks or open lanes, they out positioned Toledo, and Toledo could not match their size and athleticism. Relax The Rockets will be fine in the MAC.

Duke was beatable. A previous Toledo team might have pulled it off. We had chances to score and Jansens support beam miss along with King’s fugly layup miss was the story of the day for me. I don’t think it’s a lock we win the MAC. I think our depth isn’t anywhere as good as people thought it would be

I agree with you that Duke was beatable today, or could have been defeated by previous Toledo teams, but I was talking about the present team. This team is notch below the WNIT Championship team. The post play is not as versatile or athletic, and outside of Wiard, I haven't really seen anyone else capable of consistently driving with the ball. With that said, I still think overall they are better and deeper than anyone else in the MAC.
