CORAL GABLES, Fla.—Even in late January, Miami brought the heat to the Blue Devils’ trip down south.
With just a day since their razor-thin victory against Clemson, the Blue Devils are off to Blacksburg, Va., to battle another fierce ACC opponent in the Hokies. The Blue Zone is ready with three keys to another Duke win:
All those inside Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center held their breath as junior Ellie Coleman battled back from 5-0 down in her second set against No. 14 Auburn’s DJ Bennett to give the Blue Devils a chance to advance to the National Team Indoors. The rest of the players from both teams anxiously looked on from the sidelines as Bennett took the 11th game of the set to gain a 6-5 lead on Coleman. In the deciding game, Coleman was unable to pull off an upset, but displayed incredible tenacity over the course of the match. The Michigan native was not the only player on the team this weekend to put up a fight against a talented Tiger.
When No. 12 Duke needed it most, its backcourt stepped up.
The Blue Devils won a nailbiter Saturday against Clemson in Cameron Indoor. The Blue Zone is here to break down the win with the Player of the Game and more:
Duke endured an absolutely brutal night Friday against Virginia inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The “best of both worlds” isn’t supposed to be attainable, unless you’re Hannah Montana … or Duke. The Blue Devils didn’t just win their football curtain raiser in Wallace Wade Stadium last fall, but kept Cameron Indoor Stadium safe from the Tigers, too.
The Blue Devils hit the hardwood of Cameron Indoor Stadium after a difficult road test midweek looking for a second-straight win against Clemson. With one half of basketball yet to play, No. 12 Duke leads the Tigers 32-26:
After a return to winning ways Tuesday against Louisville, No. 12 Duke returns home with a Saturday afternoon matchup against Clemson. The Blue Zone is here with some can’t miss prop bets:
In the spring of 2000, I was 26 years old and had graduated from seminary the previous year. I was engaged to be married and spent most of my engagement overseas in France; you can imagine that went over well with my fiancée and soon-to-be-wife, Gail. I was spending two weeks at the Taizé Community in France on a postgraduate fellowship.
A casual viewer may have been confused when they walked into Cameron Indoor Stadium Thursday night. Duke donned its gray uniforms for the first time this season, and the entire staff wore purple “The Sisterhood” pullovers as part of the team’s “We Back Pat” night, honoring legendary coach Pat Summitt while raising awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. But despite the unusual visuals, the team showed its true colors on the court.
Ellen Burstyn, reprising her role as Chris MacNeil (the doubtful mother of the original Exorcist film), comforts Victor (Leslie Odom Jr.), the father of our sequel’s possessed preteen girl, saying, “You have to bring everyone together. That’s what will make this thing work.”
“Past Lives” centers around Nora (born Na-Young), a Korean writer who immigrated to Canada and then to New York to pursue her dream and her romance between her childhood sweetheart Hae Sung and her white American husband Arthur. It’s a heartwarming story about love, immigration and the road not taken.
In case you were wondering, I’m an open, over-neurotic INFJ MBTI subtype who’s an Enneagram Achiever and visual learner. My Harry Potter house is Gryffindor, I’m a Left-Twix, and I resonate most strongly with Chandler from Friends and the brown M&M. As my father once famously said: "Once you choose brown, all the other colors let you down."
After a historic 22-7 season featuring a trip to both the ACC championship and the Sweet 16 — losing to eventual national champion Virginia in both — Duke is primed for another deep postseason run. The eighth-ranked team by ITA has the majority of its squad returning, including the entire starting singles lineup. The group is led by redshirt senior Garrett Johns, the 2023 singles All-American who is returning after playing professionally in the fall. Sophomore Pedro Rodenas is coming off an impeccable freshman season, winning 33 times during the course of the year and recording an 11-1 ACC record. Rodenas and Johns also represent the No. 1 doubles tandem for the Blue Devils.
Hundreds of demonstrators attended a rally Thursday evening in support of Durham Public School workers who walked off the job last week after accidentally being overpaid between July 2023 and January.
American universities are not having their best moment, to say the least. College enrollment is in free fall. Last year, a Wall Street Journal survey found that nearly 60% of Americans are skeptical of the value of a four-year degree — a 16-point swing from a decade prior. Perceived inadequacy in responding to antisemitism led to University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill stepping down; Harvard president Claudine Gay was also forced to resign (but not before providing the world a timely reminder of what constitutes plagiarism). All of this occurred mere months after a Supreme Court ruling overturned race-conscious admissions and exposed many of the structural flaws embedded in the college admissions system.
