Performance pressure in this stage has had an impact. When you think of Duke historically, they have folded. But there is a different presence. Gail has made it a concerted effort to take pressure off of this group. I sense that they're ready.

The mid-majors get that second-tier player who is willing to stay longer. Therefore, they develop a chemistry.

She is the person most dedicated to enhancing the women's game in the big scheme of things.

If the talent level catches up (in women's basketball), maybe in another five or 10 years from now you'll see mid-majors really come.
