DURHAM, N.C. -- Gail Goestenkors is always looking for ways to motivate her team.

This week, she put together a highlight film of Duke's top offensive moments in the NCAA Tournament.

"It's a short tape,'' said Goestenkors, whose Blue Devils face Tennessee in the Final Four on Sunday night.

Duke (35-1) heads to Atlanta scuffling on offense, shooting 39.4 percent and averaging 63.5 points in postseason wins over Georgia State, Utah, Georgia and Texas Tech.

The Blue Devils were shooting 46.6 percent and averaging 81.6 points heading into the tournament.

"Whether the players are willing to admit it or not, I think they felt some pressure,'' Goestenkors said Thursday. "Any time you're a No. 1 seed you're expected to get to the Final Four.

"Now that we're there maybe some of the pressure will be off and we can just play ball.''

Duke's main problem has been shot selection. The Blue Devils have taken as many 3-pointers in the NCAAs as free throws.

"We don't talk too many stats, but that's one that really got our attention,'' point guard Vicki Krapohl said. "It just shows our lack of aggressiveness on offense and that's something we're going to look to get back to.''

Goestenkors isn't harping on the offensive slump with her team heading into the game against the Lady Volunteers (32-4). She said the media has made too much of it already.

"We know we have a good offensive team,'' she said. "There really is nothing wrong with us.

"Our goal is to win each game. I don't care if we win by one point or 30 points. The bottom line is survive and advance. I am not too caught up in scoring.''

Duke All-American Alana Beard has held up her offensive end, averaging 21.5 points in the tournament.

The junior guard-forward would like to see the rest of her teammates get back on track.

"We know that our offense isn't running as smoothly as we would like, but it's just added motivation for us to work even harder at it in the three days we have left.''

Duke beat Tennessee by 21 points this season, but that game was on Nov. 24.

"We always talk about it being a journey, and I think they learned so much from their loss to us and we learned about ourselves as well,'' Goestenkors said. "When you lose a game you tend to work a little bit harder and become more focused and more hungry.

"That's what happened to them after their loss to us and that's what happened after our loss to Connecticut. I don't feel like there is any psychological advantage for us at all because in the first game they did not play well. It wasn't so much how we played.''

In fact, Goestenkors said Tennessee is peaking and that her team -- ranked no lower than No. 2 all year -- will be an underdog this weekend.

"Not too many people out there think we're going to win this game,'' said Goestenkors, whose club has won 15 straight since a loss Feb. 1 to UConn. "It actually feels really good because every game we've been in this year we've been expected to win. This is new for us and it actually feels nice.''

Goestenkors got a boost of confidence before leaving campus, talking with her counterpart Mike Krzyzewski, who has been to nine Final Fours and won three national titles.

"He understands the pressure we've been under all year,'' she said. "He said to just go out and play and not worry about the pressure. He wants us to focus on us and what we need to do instead of focusing on our opponents.''

Goestenkors is coaching in her third Final Four in five seasons.
