No. 7 Duke men's basketball will look to keep its winning streak alive as it takes on Pittsburgh Saturday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Zone is here with three keys to a Blue Devil victory:
Tuesday afternoon was marked by an agonizingly narrow loss by Duke at the hands of Gardner Webb.
Coming to Duke was a daunting experience. As an international student whose first language is not English, the anxiety to fit in couldn’t be more suffocating. But I never felt desperate or lost. I quickly met people in my hallway and FOCUS classes going through the same challenging changes. That brought us close together, and this new chapter of my life soon didn’t seem so stressful. That’s when I found the first community I felt I truly belonged at Duke: my freshman dorm, Southgate.
Relatives of hostages taken in the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks in southern Israel spoke to a packed room in the Freeman Center Wednesday evening, sharing their stories and calling on audience members to spread awareness of the hostages remaining in Gaza.
Line monitors and players and coaching staff on the men’s basketball team spoke to tenters about promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in Krzyzewskiville at K-Ville's first-ever DEI town hall.
Duke Student Government senators met Wednesday to discuss the potential rule changes to the upcoming spring DSG election season and deliver committee progress updates.
Duke women’s basketball opened its regular season Nov. 6 against Richmond. Unsurprisingly, the Blue Devils cruised to a comfortable victory against the Spiders on the back of an outstanding performance by junior guard Reigan Richardson. As a surprise for the unassuming fan, however, one newcomer shined brightest with 22 points and a team-high 12 rebounds, all without fouling or even starting the contest.
A few years ago for Lent, I decided that I would give up hot showers. For those unfamiliar with the practice, Lent is a 40-day period where Christians give up something important to mirror the temptation Jesus faced from the devil. Who doesn’t love a long, hot shower? I certainly treasured the time to steam and relax in utter bliss. Mind you, Lent began at the end of swim season too, so I could’ve definitely used a hot shower after hours in a freezing pool in March. It wasn’t easy to turn on the cold jets of water and quickly wash my hair every day, but I truly felt good about my commitment by the time 40 days had passed.
It was the day of my first final of last semester, and a cold spell had settled over Duke. I sat in Cafe, sipping on masala chai to restore some semblance of warmth to my veins and to distract myself from the test anxiety quivering in my chest.
New York Times journalist and MSNBC political commentator Peter Beinart addressed a filled Sanford lecture hall during a moderated discussion on the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and the history of Israel.
A delegation of Duke students attended the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in early December to observe negotiations and learn about climate policy for a Bass Connections course.
While Duke men’s basketball is in the midst of an impressive win streak, some former Blue Devils are finding success in the NBA. The Blue Zone breaks down the performances of some former Duke stars shining in the pros:
“I’m very skeptical of books. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that...I think, if you wrote a book, you f—ed up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.” — Sam Bankman-Fried (skeptical of books).
I really love Olive Garden. It’s where I’ve celebrated my birthday for many years, where my parents and I stop on vacation for a nice meal, where my family dined the night before I left for college — the list goes on, but many important moments in my life have been commemorated in the company of free breadsticks. Sure, in recent years, I’ve gained more of an appreciation for trying local food and expanding my palate, but there’s just something so heartwarming about the predictability of a chain — especially one that showers you with freebies.
They say the devil is in the details. But in Durham, the Blue Devils are in the details — and numbers:
Grant Hill, former men’s basketball star and Trinity ‘94, gave the keynote address at Sunday’s service of commemoration for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The event brought together leaders from across Duke and Durham, who offered words of commitment and hope to an audience that filled the Chapel.
