Scouting Duke
The Lopes welcome preseason No. 12 Duke to the GCU Arena. Sunday's game will celebrate girl power, and 500 capes for children and adults will be given out.

Duke opens their 2017-18 regular season at GCU. The Blue Devils hosted Alaska Anchorage for a preseason exhibition scrimmage and claimed a victory in a 87-56 decision.

Last season, Duke was 28-6 overall and 13-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Blue Devils and the Lopes met in Durham, North Carolina, in mid-November and Duke claimed the win, 90-47. Duke went on to play for the ACC Tournament Championship against Notre Dame, but fell short, 84-61, to claim the runner-up spot in the league.

The Blue Devils earned a spot in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, but dropped their second-round match to Oregon, 74-65, to surrender a spot in the Sweet Sixteen.
