As 2020 comes to a close, The Chronicle's sports department takes a look back at the biggest stories of the year in Duke athletics. Each day, we will review a major game, event or storyline that helped shape the course of the year for the Blue Devils. Check out the rest of the top 10 here.
Last Wednesday, I had the honor of covering a Duke basketball game in person.
Nolan Smith, Duke men’s basketball’s director of operations, organized a Black Lives Matter protest at Krzyzewskiville Aug. 27. There, Mark Anthony Neal, James B. Duke distinguished professor of African and African American Studies, was joined by men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski, women’s basketball head coach Kara Lawson and several student-athletes to address a gathered crowd.
When Duke and North Carolina stepped off the floor for the last time in 2019, the focus was still on volleyball—the Tar Heels had completed the regular-season sweep of the Blue Devils and Duke was heading home with its sights set on revenge in 2020.
On August 27, the director of operations for Duke’s men’s basketball team, Nolan Smith, led a protest outside of K-ville in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
In light of the recent Black Lives Matter protests, Duke Athletics hosted a peaceful protest in K-Ville to share stories and support for the topic. Several heartfelt speeches were given by Blue Devil athletes and coaches. Duke athletics alumni and students alike have shown their support to this cause through social media, attending peaceful protests and giving touching speeches.
First-year Henry Coleman III, a member of the men’s basketball team, stood on a small platform.
For the first time since the Duke vs. North Carolina game this past March, Krzyzewskiville was filled with passionate spectators. However, the passion of these spectators was nothing like the loud, irreverent Crazies we’re used to seeing on that grass. Instead, the hot August wind carried an angry and somber energy.
If you’re just arriving on campus, the thousands of faces you see (in person or virtually) may be a bit intimidating. But The Chronicle is here to help. Here are some of the University’s biggest stars to be on the lookout for as you get adjusted to campus life.
Kimberly Reed, Trinity '86, was part of the group of students who originated the annual Krzyzewskiville tradition of tenting for the home North Carolina game, a story that was introduced in a 2001 Chronicle article. Reed has since appeared in a number of other stories and documentaries, including HBO's "Battle for Tobacco Road" documentary, ACC Network's "ACC Traditions" series and The Chronicle's tenting documentary.
When Scotty Shaw, Trinity ‘09, helped create HackDuke: Code for Good, a social impact hackathon at Duke, he had no idea he’d later work on a hackathon organized by the European Commission to combat the effects of a global pandemic.
The first Wednesday of white tenting, sophomore Cathy Wang decided to squeeze in some work on a problem set after Duke’s game at North Carolina State University. With only two problems left, she figured she had plenty of time to finish her assignment before night hours began at 1 a.m. in Krzyzewskiville.
What do a Norwegian margarine tycoon, William Shakespeare and Steph Curry all have in common? They are central figures in The Hot Hand, a new book from Ben Cohen, Trinity '10. In the book, Cohen explores the question that has fascinated psychologists, economists, statisticians, basketball players and more for decades: does the hot hand exist?

There is truly no experience like being inside Cameron Indoor when our Blue Devils beat the Tar Heels. The exhilarating feeling of rushing out to Abele Quad for some much-needed bench burning can’t be beat. Students come in during their first year and hear from everyone—upperclassmen, friends, fans, you name it—“you have to get into at least one Carolina game before you graduate.” It is, by far, the most anticipated game of regular season college basketball every year, and many Duke students choose to tent in K-Ville to earn their spot. This process ensures that only the most dedicated, enthusiastic, and Craziest fans witness another chapter in this historic rivalry.
UPDATE Feb. 27 at 1 p.m.: After tenters and non-tenters were supposed to be separated during the EarthGang Personal Checks concert, co-head line monitor Ben Succop, a senior, wrote in an email to The Chronicle that up to 1,600 students will be allowed on the floor of Cameron Indoor Stadium during the concert and then the upstairs seats will be filled. After the concert, non-tenters will still be removed from Krzyzewskiville for P-Checks.
