Duke Willing to Pay Opponent as Kara Lawson Faces Unexpected Scheduling Crisis Ahead of Sunday's Game
Duke was willing to pay another team just to play them. That is where Kara Lawson and the Blue Devils find themselves days before their next scheduled game.
Durham, NC – Kara Lawson, head coach of the Duke Blue Devils, faces an unexpected scheduling crisis ahead of Sunday's game. The Blue Devils were originally set to play North Texas in a game known as The Foundry Classic, marking the first-ever meeting between the two programs in women's basketball. However, the matchup has been canceled, leaving Duke scrambling to find a replacement opponent.
In a bid to salvage the game, Duke reportedly reached out to multiple conferences, even offering to pay another team to travel or play on their campus. The Blue Devils have now confirmed they will face Florida Atlantic (FAU) in Boca Raton, Florida, on Sunday, with the North Texas team focusing on regrouping for their next game.
