Between the months of January and March every year, two patches of grass in Duke’s athletic quarter fill up with tents occupied by undergraduate students camping out for tickets to the men’s basketball game against hated rival North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
No. 10 Duke faces its third-to-last game of the season Saturday evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium against Virginia, a foe which has proved tough to overcome the past couple seasons. The Chronicle’s beat writers are here to offer their predictions on whether the Blue Devils can get it done this time around:
It’s how the Cards fall, they say.
Worries assuaged.
After a heart-wrenching loss in the NCAA tournament final in May, head coach John Danowski, then-senior defender Kenny Brower and then-senior Dyson Williams sat at the press podium covered in sweat — each with the type of far-out, dejected look only a loss like that can induce.
At long last, the day is nearly here. The Tobacco Road rivalry kicks off Saturday evening in Chapel Hill in a top-10 showdown with storylines for miles. While the outcome of this one is anyone's guess, The Chronicle's beat writers (and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper) preview the game and offer their predictions:
Wendell Moore Jr. played for the Blue Devils from 2019 to 2022. He captained Duke to the Final Four and earned the Julius Erving Award for the nation’s best small forward as a junior before he declared for the NBA Draft, where he was selected 26th overall. Among many successes in Durham, Moore is perhaps known best for his overtime buzzer-beater to seal a come-from-behind win against North Carolina in Chapel Hill in February 2020. Currently, Moore plays for the Iowa Wolves, the G-League affiliate of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Blue Devils hit the gridiron one final time this year for a Birmingham Bowl battle with Troy. Ahead of today’s noon kickoff, read up on what The Chronicle’s beat writers forecast for the finale of an eventful season:
NEW YORK—An evening tipoff in the Big Apple is the dream for any fan of college basketball. For the 15,000 or so Blue Devil fans in attendance for their team’s victory Wednesday night, that dream came true, ensuring a paradoxically peaceful night of rest in the City that (seemingly) Never Sleeps.
NEW YORK—At Madison Square Garden for the 59th time in their history, the 21st-ranked Blue Devils look to close their neutral-site slate with a win against No. 10 Baylor. With the first half of the game behind it, Duke leads the Bears 34-32:
