Austin ? Top-ranked Duke knew the Texas Longhorns were better than their 41-point loss to Tennessee a few days earlier.

Good enough to give the Blue Devils a pretty good fight, just not good enough – or experienced enough – to win it.

Monique Currie scored 23 points, and Duke survived a surge from No. 16 Texas’ new freshmen-heavy lineup for a tough 84-70 victory Sunday.

Mistie Williams added 14 points, and Alison Bales had 13 rebounds for the Blue Devils (6-0), who got their stiffest test of the season after winning their first five games by at least 26 points.

Freshman Erika Arriaran’s 16 points led the Longhorns (3-3), whose upset bid ended with 3-of-16 shooting and seven turnovers over the last nine minutes after forging a 61-all tie that had the home crowd of 8,394 buzzing.
