EARNING STRIPES: Proctor's last-gasp free throws help No. 12 Duke men's basketball survive Clemson

(01/27/24 11:31pm)

The “best of both worlds” isn’t supposed to be attainable, unless you’re Hannah Montana … or Duke. The Blue Devils didn’t just win their football curtain raiser in Wallace Wade Stadium last fall, but kept Cameron Indoor Stadium safe from the Tigers, too.








Duke women's basketball honors Pat Summitt's legacy, shows true colors in colossal win against No. 23 Florida State

(01/26/24 7:03pm)

A casual viewer may have been confused when they walked into Cameron Indoor Stadium Thursday night. Duke donned its gray uniforms for the first time this season, and the entire staff wore purple “The Sisterhood” pullovers as part of the team’s “We Back Pat” night, honoring legendary coach Pat Summitt while raising awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. But despite the unusual visuals, the team showed its true colors on the court. 




Personality tests and the absurdity of self-awareness

(01/29/24 5:00am)

In case you were wondering, I’m an open, over-neurotic INFJ MBTI subtype who’s an Enneagram Achiever and visual learner. My Harry Potter house is Gryffindor, I’m a Left-Twix, and I resonate most strongly with Chandler from Friends and the brown M&M. As my father once famously said: "Once you choose brown, all the other colors let you down."


Duke men's tennis 2024 season preview

(01/26/24 5:30pm)

After a historic 22-7 season featuring a trip to both the ACC championship and the Sweet 16 — losing to eventual national champion Virginia in both — Duke is primed for another deep postseason run. The eighth-ranked team by ITA has the majority of its squad returning, including the entire starting singles lineup. The group is led by redshirt senior Garrett Johns, the 2023 singles All-American who is returning after playing professionally in the fall. Sophomore Pedro Rodenas is coming off an impeccable freshman season, winning 33 times during the course of the year and recording an 11-1 ACC record. Rodenas and Johns also represent the No. 1 doubles tandem for the Blue Devils. 



In defense of the university

(01/26/24 2:40pm)

American universities are not having their best moment, to say the least. College enrollment is in free fall. Last year, a Wall Street Journal survey found that nearly 60% of Americans are skeptical of the value of a four-year degree — a 16-point swing from a decade prior. Perceived inadequacy in responding to antisemitism led to University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill stepping down; Harvard president Claudine Gay was also forced to resign (but not before providing the world a timely reminder of what constitutes plagiarism). All of this occurred mere months after a Supreme Court ruling overturned race-conscious admissions and exposed many of the structural flaws embedded in the college admissions system.
