The ACC had a tough first month of the 2025-26 women's college basketball season. Duke sits below .500. NC State lost to Rhode Island. Stanford just lost to FGCU . Michigan blitzed Notre Dame by 39 points. Virginia lost to UMBC. Virginia Tech got upset by James Madison.

The first seven Duke basketball shots in its 67-66 ACC/SEC Challenge home win over the No. 15-ranked Florida Gators (5-3, 0-0 SEC) on Tuesday night were from 3-point land. The No. 4 Blue Devils (9-0, 0-0 ACC) knocked down three of them, and it wasn't until almost seven minutes into the contest that they attempted their first shot inside the arc.

Charlotte, North Carolina, is the site of the ACC Championship Game as Duke faces off with Virginia. It is a rematch of a regular-season matchup, in which Virginia won 34-17. As the two prepare to face off, a Duke win could send the College Football Playoffs into chaos. Meanwhile, a Virginia win would likely send them to the playoffs.

The Blue Devils made a clear statement that they're ready to contend in their last-minute win over the defending champs.

A year from now, Duke basketball signee Cameron Williams may well be the next great Cameron in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
