Throughout the last nine years, the Duke women’s basketball program has become a
national powerhouse. The Blue Devils have advanced to the national championship game
twice, won five ACC championships and advanced to the NCAA Final Four four times.
With the success of the program, Duke has garnered a great deal of television coverage
and 2007-08 will be no different with 13 regular season contests scheduled to be televised.
Over the last nine years, the Blue Devils have been seen 128 different times on television.
The broadcast team for the 2007-08 ACC season will be the duo of Debbie Antonelli
and Beth Mowins as well as Charlene Curtis and Mike Hogewood. They will handle
all games on the regional sports networks. Antonelli, who has served as a color
commentator for the WNBA and ABL while also working the sideline as a reporter for CBS
at the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, will serve as the ACC’s lead analyst for the
10th consecutive season.
Mowins, who enters her ninth season with ACC Live, is no stranger to the college
basketball scene. She has made appearances on several national networks over the past
12 years and has also served as co-host of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament
selection show and was a sideline reporter for CBS at the NCAA Men’s Basketball
Tournament.
