Duke vs LSU live score, updates, highlights from March Madness Sweet 16 game originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The women's Tournament continues with Sweet 16 Friday night finale as No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Duke will play for a spot in the Elite Eight. Duke who finished not far behind LSU in the final regular season rankings could view this as a revenge game for the 16-point loss the suffered at the hands of LSU on December 4.
In the time since that December game, the Blue Devils went 21-2 throughout the remainder of the season. Including wins over Notre Dame, North Carolina and Louisville. All of whom are Tournament teams with top 5 seeds. Kara Lawson's Blue Devils have had ample time to prepare for a possible rematch.
Since the last time these two teams met, Duke has clamped down defensively using turnovers to fuel additional possessions and points off turnovers. If Duke's defense can prevent LSU's frontcourt from dominating early, Duke could be an in advantageous position in the 4th quarter.
Here is a look at the box score from Friday's second round Regional 1 in Fort Worth.

End of the 1st Half
