Ryan Jackson strolled to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday evening with runners on first and third, no men out and his team trailing by one run. It was the type of situation that, had he still been playing in the big leagues, would surely have thrust the former Blue Devil star onto television screens nationwide. Instead, it was in front of 9,531 anxious fans that the 31-year-old Jackson was trying to push his Triple-A Durham Bulls into the playoffs on the second-to-last day of the season.

The Blue Devils jumped out to a 40-20 lead en route to an easy 72-56 victory, avenging an earlier loss to Florida State.

ATLANTA - Fifteen minutes into Wednesday's game, with Duke struggling to find the basket, Georgia Tech freshman Chris Bosh dunked to cut the Blue Devil lead to 23-19, bringing the Yellow Jacket home crowd to its feet.

After a week in which ice and rain forced Duke to cancel or postpone four straight games, the skies cleared Sunday, allowing the Blue Devils to take the field for the first time in eight days. The baseball gods, however, were not so generous.

Can a last place team lose its two best players and get better? Duke's baseball team certainly thinks so.
In last Sunday's Super Bowl, the dominant defense reigned supreme over the prolific offense. Duke hopes that this principle doesn't apply to mens basketball, as its high-scoring offense hosts Butler and the stingy Bulldog defense tonight at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
When the men's basketball team travels to Raleigh to face N.C. State tonight at 9 p.m. in the RBC Center, it will carry with it some unfamiliar and unwanted baggage: a loss.
This is not how it was supposed to happen.
The Duke baseball team entered Sunday's matchup against Radford looking to complete a three-game weekend sweep and push its winning streak to five games.
