Duke women's volleyball team went into this weekend looking to improve upon its 4-1 conference record and distance itself from the numerous teams clogged in the middle of the ACC standings. After dropping both of its matches, however, the Blue Devils find themselves right in the middle of the pack-tied for fifth place in conference.
C.B. Claiborne tells the story with the coolness that comes with 40 years of separation. With his calm, matter-of-fact delivery, one would never suspect he is speaking of an incident that embodied the racism he endured as an agent of change.
Despite giving up more than 30 points per game coming into Saturday's matchup against Navy, Duke's defense has received little criticism this season. Much of the fault has been placed on the Blue Devils' offense for its ineffectiveness and the turnovers that have given opponents excellent starting field position.
Following a contest which head coach Ted Roof called the "most physical game of the year," Duke (1-3) will face a Navy team coming off three full weeks of rest.
Mission unaccomplished.

When Jim Moravchik starts Saturday against East Carolina, he will not only be sporting a new position—the fifth-year senior moved from left tackle to left guard—but also a new number, 55. The number change, however, takes on a much greater significance because Moravchik now dons the former number of Micah Harris, the defensive end who was tragically killed in a car accident June 11, 2004.
It turns out money can heal any wound.
With three highly touted commitments in place for the recruiting class of 2006, Duke’s coaching staff can afford to go after its “reach” prospect—the top-rated power forward in the country.

NBA prospects will now be able to play the lottery long before they can be a part of the lottery.
