Uaa Online, Uaa Blackboard:This morning at 10, the UAA women’s basketball team will suit up for a game at one of the country’s most storied and hostile basketball arenas, against one of the sport’s giants: Duke University. The exhibition game is being touted as a showdown between Division I and Division II powers. Duke is ranked sixth in the nation in the big leagues; UAA is ranked eighth in the not-so-big leagues.

But anyone familiar with UAA’s record against Division I competition knows there’s a great divide between the divisions.

UAA historically fields a strong men’s team and of late has boasted an even stronger women’s team. Yet the men are 28-62 all-time against Division I competition in the Shootout and the women are 29-47.

So anytime the Seawolves knock off a Division I team, it’s noteworthy. More info.
