The Blue Devils have three losses, each by a single possession. They are knocking on the door of their fifth win, which would give them as many as in the previous two seasons combined. The strides the team has made since even last year are undeniable, and contending at all in these key games seems like a victory in and of itself.

Leading into the 2008 financial crisis, banks engaged in increasingly risky behavior justified by the fact that they were too big to fail. We know now that that logic led to one of the most disastrous collapses of any entity in history, and, ridiculous as it may seem, many sports teams have risen and fallen in the same way, too loaded with talent to see systemic flaws.

Hummingbirds are some of the planet’s most unique animals: green and pink feathers, wings that flutter 50 times per second, long, toothpick-like beaks.

Occasionally, you take notes from audio or video recordings or rely on the work of your colleagues to stay up to date.
