For Duke first-years, the variety of offerings on the first floor of the Brodhead Center may prevent them from venturing into the vendors on the dining hall’s upper levels.
A little over six miles from the Chapel is the Duke Campus Farm — a haven of fresh produce.
They say the devil is in the details. But in Durham, the Blue Devils are in the details – and the numbers:
No. 9 Duke competed in its second tournament of the season Sunday at the Elite Invitational in Columbus, Ohio. The tournament featured several formidable opponents for the Blue Devils, with Notre Dame, Princeton and Ohio State all ranked within the top five on both the men and women’s side. This fact didn’t stop the Duke women from pulling off several upsets this weekend to close out 5-1. While the men were not able to come away with a winning record, their strength and determination were still on full display.
While head coach Kara Lawson would never be willing to admit it, Duke found itself in the rare position to claim what was arguably a moral victory against No. 6 Stanford Sunday afternoon. The Blue Devils played down to the final possession, surviving a career game from star Cardinal forward Cameron Brink in regulation before just barely losing 82-79 in overtime to the host team.
After a win against Bucknell, No. 9 Duke men’s basketball is back in action Tuesday to take on La Salle in Durham. Before the contest, the Blue Zone is here with three keys to a Blue Devil victory:
After debuting in the AP poll at No. 2, then falling to No. 9 after a loss to Arizona, Duke men’s basketball remained inside the top-10 after defeating then-No. 18 Michigan State, as it remains at No. 9. The Blue Zone breaks down movement in the poll around the country:
I love Taylor Swift. In the music video for “Delicate,” she breaks free from the usual scrutiny and normative pressures to act in certain composed ways and can dance happily in the rain, as she says “you must like me for me”. What a call for authenticity! Except that she is a celebrity whose tweets and media appearances are planned and polished by a PR team.
Sportswrap is your one-stop shop for everything Duke athletics, where we’ll recap how each of Duke’s sports currently in competition performed over the last week and give a brief look ahead. Here’s our recap for the week of Nov. 13-19:
Gritty energy.
Duke rewrote the record books this weekend as the swim and dive teams traveled to their first invitationals of the season. Impressive performances in both Greensboro and Knoxville, Tenn., led to big victories and impressive new stats for the Blue Devils.
Duke had a tournament to forget at the 2023 Keystone Classic in Philadelphia, finishing ninth overall out of the 10 teams competing. After earning its first two wins of the season against Cleveland State and Kent State, the team struggled to replicate last week’s strong showing during Sunday’s tournament. Despite fielding 15 wrestlers across 10 different weight classes, only three Blue Devils won their opening-round matchups, while just two placed in the top five of their respective weight classes.
That was all she wrote.
With Duke Dining ranked first in the country in 2016 and 2017, there is no shortage of spots for good food on campus. The Chronicle asked 22 students about which campus eatery they thought was the best.
Maples Pavilion set the stage for Duke's first road test against a quality opponent, but the welcome was far from warm.
After traveling to Charlottesville Saturday afternoon, Duke football experienced a disheartening loss to Virginia. The Blue Zone is here with three key takeaways, stats and a look ahead following the Blue Devils’ defeat:
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Fourth-and-16 at home in front of a sold-out crowd. 30 seconds left in regulation against North Carolina. And now the second half in Charlottesville. Despite the immense talent Duke possesses, the Blue Devils can simply not finish the job.
The Wellness Center is one of the best, but most underutilized, resources on Duke’s campus. As two first-year students during our first of many busy midterm seasons, we felt it was the perfect time to relieve our academic stress with one of the Wellness Center’s best offerings – their Moments of Mindfulness classes – while sharing our experiences with Recess readers. After looking at some of the many offerings, one of us decided to try the Restorative Yoga class and the other signed up for a Creative Writing class.
Something is rotten in the state of Oklahoma. At least, that’s true in Martin Scorsese’s new film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which examines a conspiracy of betrayal and murder—perpetrated during the sunset of the Wild West against the Osage Native Americans of Oklahoma—that is as grotesque and far-reaching as that in Hamlet’s Denmark.
While students are heading home for Thanksgiving, Duke men’s basketball is continuing to compete, facing La Salle in its second game of the Blue Devil Challenge. The Blue Zone is here with a key player on each side ahead of the contest:
