BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - Duke has one of the deepest benches in the country. That depth helped the Blue Devils wear down Michigan State and cruise to an 86-61 win Sunday night in the Bridgeport Regional semifinal.
"I think it's quality depth," Duke coach Gail Goestenkors said of her bench which scored 32 points. "A lot of teams have a lot of players, but our bench is productive, probably as productive as any team in the country."
Monique Currie scored 17 points and center Alison Bales dominated inside to get top-seeded Duke (29-3) to its sixth regional final. The Blue Devils will play second-seeded Connecticut on Tuesday night.
