Duke spent all day Friday organizing its tool box. With less than a month to go before the outdoor track and field ACC Championships, the Blue Devils are putting the pieces into place to defend a title for the women and elevate the men to a top-five finish.
In between every one of her pitches, Cassidy Curd makes eye contact with Kelly Torres, her catcher, and takes a few deep breaths. Then she leans back, putting her weight on one leg, winds her arms and hurls a neon-yellow softball at the batter. More often than not, she strikes that batter out.
The captain is setting sail.
Fresh off a gritty upset win against No. 1-seed Houston, the fourth-seeded Blue Devils stare down No. 11-seed N.C. State for the third time this season in the Elite Eight, looking to advance to the Final Four. The Chronicle’s beat writers are here with their predictions:
Friday afternoon, Amina Maatoug had one of her more stellar moments on the track. For the Blue Devil junior, these come randomly — often, like this weekend, in meets right at the start of a season. This time, it was a matter of blowing her own program record in the 5000m right out of the water. She shaved more than ten seconds off of her previous best with a 15:37.38 showing that now tops the Duke all-time.

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—In the Barclays Center locker room, while student managers packed bags and media teams shouted over one another, Jeremy Roach and Tyrese Proctor were laughing at a joke nobody else in the room was getting. Cackling, they both fell into their chairs and tried to regain seriousness for the cameras.
BROOKLYN, N.Y.—No. 4-seed Duke survived its first round of the NCAA tournament Friday evening against Vermont, and is now looking to make it through a second against No. 12- seed James Madison Sunday. The Blue Devils have dominated through 20 minutes and lead the Dukes 47-25:

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—Tyrese Proctor ran over to Duke’s bench just moments into the start of the matchup, demanding an empty cup. There was blood on his lips, but he spit it out and got back in position like nothing had happened.
March Madness, at last, is here. In keeping with America’s favorite pastime this part of the year, The Chronicle’s beat writers took a stab at predicting how the world’s most unpredictable tournament will shake out, how Duke and the ACC will fare and more:
Cassidy Curd is sitting on a swinging bench outside Bella Union, a coffee shop on Duke’s West Campus. It is 8:30 in the morning, and “Cass” has already finished lift, had coffee (iced, despite the cool air) and read several dozen pages of Sarah J. Maas’s “Crescent City,” which now rests on the table in front of her. She has piled her hair into a bun and put on a plain beige hoodie over her workout clothes. The only flashy things Cass wears are the gold rings on her fingers that match the long, ornate cross that hangs on a gold chain resting against her chest. She fiddles with it when she talks about God.

The residents of “Mitchell-in Star Restaurant,” who are all seniors, have been tenting for three years. Blake Morris, who met his fellow tenters through Duke Wesleyan, ran through miscellaneous knowledge as he waited for the doors to this year’s ordering test to open at the K Center behind Cameron Indoor Stadium. A fun fact off the top of his head?
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—Head coach Jon Scheyer wasn’t happy when Wake Forest students rushed the court and trampled Kyle Filipowski. But he certainly wasn’t angry with Demon Deacon head coach Steve Forbes.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.—In the final game of its three-game road trip, No. 8 Duke made the short journey to Winston Salem for a battle against Wake Forest. The Blue Devils and Demon Deacons have gone toe-to-toe in a gritty first half, with the visitors holding a 38-36 lead at the break:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Jared McCain put a finger to his lips and shushed the garnet stands in Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. The freshman isn’t usually one for mocking opposing fans, but this time, he had a warrant.
