Rarely could a team that joined the ACC just four years ago be considered an “old” or “familiar” foe, but that is exactly what Notre Dame has been to Duke in the last decade.
After three tough home losses in a row, Duke finally made Jack Coombs Field feel like home again Sunday afternoon.

After taking two of three on the road in Pittsburgh in its first ACC series away from Durham, Duke will return home for its next game riding its hottest start to a season in 20 years.
After rolling through the opening weekend, Duke faces a much more daunting opponent this weekend in possibly the most storied program in women’s college basketball: Connecticut. The Huskies set a number of NCAA Tournament records in their first-round win against St. Francis, including the most points scored in a NCAA Tournament game with 140, most points in a half with 94, most rebounds with 69 and most assists with 38.
Each day leading up to the first round of the NCAA tournament, The Chronicle will preview one of the four regions in the bracket, touching on the true contenders in the region and potential bracket-busting Cinderellas. After starting with the South, we looked at the Midwest, the East, and now finally, the West:
Cal State Fullerton Titans: 20-11, 10-6 in the Big West
For a team that entered the season ranked No. 1 and remains a consensus Final Four pick, the first road trip of the season—a loss to an unranked team—was disappointing to say the least.
Charleston Cougars: 26-7, 14-4 in the Colonial Athletic Association
Virginia Tech Hokies: 21-11, 10-8 in the ACC
Texas A&M Aggies: 20-12, 9-9 in the SEC
Wichita State Shockers: 25-7, 14-4 in the American Athletic Conference
Virginia Tech Hokies: 21-10, 10-8 in the ACC
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: 13-18, 6-12 in the ACC
The biggest story of the first half was the return of Marvin Bagley III, who had missed the previous four games with a right knee sprain. And although he did not get the start, the star freshman announced his presence in a big way with a series of electrifying dunks in Duke’s strong first-half performance.
Heading into Saturday’s game, Duke’s recent success suggested the team had finally figured things out—the defense suddenly was one of the best in the nation, and though the offense had taken a hit, the Blue Devils had not looked better all season than during their four-game winning streak.
Coming off a statement win against then-No. 11 Clemson Sunday, No. 5 Duke returns home to face Louisville Wednesday night in the first game of a two-game homestand. The Blue Zone gives three keys to victory for the Blue Devils.
For the tallest team in the ACC, it might seem counterintuitive that one of Duke’s biggest concerns heading into Monday night’s game was rebounding.
After dispatching their first three opponents this season by an average margin of nearly 12 goals per game, the undefeated Blue Devils will face a stiffer test Friday in a much-anticipated top-five matchup.
