Tar Heels dominate Duke 64-29 on the glass to claim ACC crown

Ryan Hoerger The Chronicle The Tar Heels grabbed everything Saturday night. They grabbed the ACC regular-season title outright. They grabbed their first win in Durham since 2012. They grabbed back bragging rights in the Tobacco Road rivalry after four straight losses. And they did it by grabbing 64 rebounds. “I knew that they would get their fair share [of rebounds]—I didn’t know they were going to beat us by the margin that they beat us,” junior Matt Jones said. “That in itself is surprising.” Brice Johnson and Kennedy Meeks combined for 30 points and 35 rebounds as No. 8 North Carolina bruised its way past No. 17 Duke 76-72 Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium, spoiling Senior Night for Marshall Plumlee. The Tar Heels scored 42 of their 76 points—20 of them off of second, third and fourth chances from 27 offensive rebounds—in the paint and five players finished in double-figures. Grayson Allen scored 29 points—

including five in the final minute—and Luke Kennard hit a corner triple with less than 10 seconds left to pull within two, but three Tar Heels went a perfect 8-of-8 at the charity stripe in the last 25 seconds to ward off another late Blue Devil comeback. Duke trailed 68-59 with 3:22 left, but cut it to a single-possession game three times in the last 20 seconds. North Carolina senior Marcus Paige shot just 3-of-10 from the floor—including 1-of8 from downtown—but sunk four of those critical free throws, the final two pushing the Tar Heel lead back to four and denying the Blue Devils a chance to tie with a prayer at the buzzer. “If I had to pick anybody in the country to step to the line in that situation, I wanted Marcus Paige over anybody else,” North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said. “He was pretty doggone good.” Just as in the first meeting Feb. 17 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina (25-6, 14-4 in the ACC) dominated the glass, with Meeks teaming up with Johnson to corral nearly every contested rebound. The Tar Heel starting frontcourt pulled down 16 rebounds in the first half and poured in 18

points as Williams’ squad outrebounded the Blue Devils 30-10. “They were getting three or four shots a possession down there just because we couldn’t rebound,” Allen said. “You’re not going to win a ballgame like that.” That discrepancy only got wider in the second half, with North Carolina almost finishing with more offensive rebounds than Duke’s total 29 boards. On a few possessions, the Tar Heels got as many as six looks at the basket, coming up empty but simply snatching the ball back and rising again from point-blank range. The Blue Devils (22-9, 11-7) switched to a 2-3 zone once freshman Brandon Ingram left with two fouls midway through the first half, and stuck with it exclusively after halftime. The switch worked initially—Duke shaved eight points off the Tar Heel lead after Ingram sat down—but continued to cause problems as the Blue Devils tried to keep Johnson and Meeks off the glass. “We didn’t do a bad job of [playing zone] except for rebounding,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t finish the See M.

Before Saturday’s game even tipped off, Duke officially announced what many had suspected with growing certainty— Amile Jefferson will not return to the court this season. The senior forward fractured his right foot in practice Dec. 12, and the team then stated that he would be out indefinitely. Jefferson was initially put on crutches to take all the pressure off his foot, and later progressed to a walking boot that he has been wearing on the sidelines for most of conference play. As he eschewed crutches in favor of the boot, the Philadelphia native gradually tried to test his mobility on the court, but to no avail. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said that his lateral movement was satisfactory, but actions that required pushing off the foot— particularly accelerating straight and jumping—were still causing Jefferson pain, and a realistic timetable for his return was never provided. With the book now closed on a potential postseason return, the team announced it will apply for a medical hardship waiver that would allow Jefferson to play again next season. Krzyzewski was optimistic that it would be granted, given that he has played in only nine of the Blue Devils’ 31 games— well below the 30 percent threshold that a redshirt requires.

Several first-semester student demands remain unaddressed Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle Administrators have worked to tackle certain demands presented by students last November, but many remain unaddressed. At the “Duke Tomorrow: StudentOrganized Discussion with Brodhead and Administration” forum Nov. 20, students presented a list of demands written by Concerned Students 1969 to President Richard Brodhead, Provost Sally Kornbluth and Valerie Ashby, dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. Since the forum and the preceding gathering organized by administrators, changes include the creation of a task force on bias and hate issues, the renaming of the main quadrangle to Abele Quad and the proposed Duke Experience course for freshmen that could feature race and diversity issues. “The University is starting to take these issues more seriously,” said sophomore Bryce Cracknell, a member of Concerned Students 1969. “Generally speaking, people are in a more understanding mood and are willing to work on these issues. However, we have hit obstacles within the administration in regards to university politics and the extent to which administrators can implement

changes on a mass scale.” Concerns regarding student life One demand presented in November was that members of the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Association undergo “additional bias and diversity training.” Junior Mitchell Grant, president of IFC, wrote in an email that there is “no need at this time for increased diversity training” because of efforts it has pursued to be more inclusive. “IFC is always looking to increase its appeal to every freshman who steps on Duke’s campus,” Grant wrote. “We have done this through increasing the amount of scholarships awarded this past year, hosting a diversity panel last year, as well as having a recruitment process in which potential new members and brothers alike devote hours of time to get to know each other on a personal level.” When asked for further comment on diversity, Grant replied in an email that he did not “have much to add.” Junior Anya Ranganathan, president of the Panhellenic Association, could not be reached in time for publication. The demands also focused on increasing Duke’s socioeconomic diversity by amending financial aid policies so that students with

“

families earning less than $75,000 would not have to pay for tuition, room or board. “Our current financial aid program eliminates any parent contribution for families earning under $60k,” wrote Alison Rabil, assistant vice provost and director of financial aid, in an email. “I don’t believe we have plans to change that award policy.” Rabil also emphasized the impact of the new Washington Duke Scholars program, which will provide approximately 30 scholars in the Class of 2020 with financial assistance and other opportunities before expanding to include more students. The scholarship program was announced before the demands, however. “We would also hope [the scholars program] will highlight Duke’s welcoming environment, regardless of socioeconomic background, and that high achieving students from more varied financial backgrounds will consider us a college option as a result,” Rabil wrote. Dean of Admissions Christoph Guttentag could not be reached in time for publication about a demand that reporting SAT and ACT standardized test scores be optional in the admissions process. Another demand asked that the Short Term Illness Notification Form (STINF) include a section for “mental health trauma

and debilitating conditions.” Ashby noted in an email that students could reach out to their academic dean about diagnosed mental illness accommodations or feelings of being overwhelmed. “When a student is incapacitated due to illness, including mental illness, students can use the Short Term Illness Notification,” Ashby wrote. She also noted that the STINF policy is currently being evaluated. Although a specific university course was not part of the demands presented by students at the forums, as part of the ongoing curriculum review process, a “Duke Experience,” course has been proposed to replace Writing 101 for freshmen. The proposed course may include topics of race and inequality. Administrative changes Several of the student demands related to the University’s task force on bias and hate issues, which is chaired by Linda Burton, dean of social sciences and James B. Duke professor of sociology, and Kelly Brownell, dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy. The task force began its work in January and hopes to release a report with findings later See DEMANDS on Page 4

N.C. racial gerrymandering gives Republicans potential edge Rachel Sereix The Chronicle Facing allegations of racial gerrymandering, the North Carolina legislature has little time until the June 7 congressional primary election to reach a bipartisan agreement on congressional district lines. On Feb. 19, The Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s ruling that forced the legislature to draw up a new election district map for congressional seats in order to eliminate racial gerrymandering in two districts. Of the 13 U.S. House of Representatives seats allocated to North Carolina, 10 are currently taken by Republicans and three by Democrats. Before the congressional elections, the districts must be redrawn again so that there is not an evident electoral advantage for either party, although legislators and scholars believe a successful compromise is unlikely. “The major implications would be that the Republicans are likely to translate even a 50-50 tie in votes into a substantial majority with the way in which districts are drawn,” said John Aldrich, PfizerPratt University professor of political science, about the current 10-to-3 ratio of Republican to Democratic districts. “That is what has happened in the past and what can happen with current redistricting.” Aldrich explained that District 1 and District 12, which are both led by Democratic representatives, were designed in the 1990s to have a majority of black voters. “What has happened over time is that not only was this a majority-minority district, but the Republicans packed a

Special to The Chronicle A 2014 map provided by the University illustrates the shifts that can occur because of congressional redistricting in North Carolina.

large number of voters who are all going to vote for Democrats into District 1 so there are fewer of them in surrounding areas,” Aldrich said. David Price, a Democratic representative for District 4, carries his district with an approximately 70 percent Democratic voter base. Aldrich contends that Price’s district, along with the first and 12th districts, will remain Democratic due to the disproportionate number of Democrats compacted in those three districts. Opponents of the Republicans’ redrawn congressional districts articulated that the

party was attempting to pack black voters into two districts, with the remainder of the districts primarily white and in favor of the GOP, Aldrich explained. Opponents of the plan are advocating for the lines to be redrawn so that the proportion of Democrats is more equitably spread— therefore allowing for both parties to be competitive in elections. The state legislature has moved the North Carolina congressional primary election to June, but it remains unclear as to whether or not a revised plan will be accepted by then. State governments may

appeal the new plan, which would lead to a hearing by the Supreme Court. North Carolina General Assembly Representative Graig Meyer, a Democrat representing Durham and Orange County, explained that under the current districts, some voters who used to be in one district were moved to new districts, sometimes with different representatives than the one they initially voted for. “The biggest change for Durham county specifically is that Durham county has now been made into only two congressional districts, whereas previously it was four congressional districts,” Meyer said. Dallas Woodhouse, executive director of the North Carolina Republican Party, argued that by holding separate primaries for Congress and for the presidential nomination, which occurs March 15, voter turnout decreases and uninformed voters are disadvantaged. “I think that the effect of the Democrats and their allies is to ultimately disenfranchise tons of people,” Woodhouse explained. “Somewhere in the neighborhood of 800,000 people voted in the traditional primaries and only 161 in the Congressional primaries.” Republicans contend that the previously rejected congressional district boundaries have always been drawn to comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and that the issue is obsolete, Woodhouse noted. “What the Court did is virtually unprecedented to stop an election that was virtually underway with hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots already printed and many ballots already returned to the appropriate boards of elections,” Woodhouse said.

Researchers quantify life-saving impact of reduced carbon emissions Nidhila Masha The Chronicle Policies to reduce carbon emissions could prevent up to 175,000 pollutionrelated premature deaths nationwide by 2030, according to new research from Duke and NASA. Researchers at the Nicholas School of the Environment, in collaboration with members of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, showed that policies that slow climate change could also prevent health problems such as heart attacks, strokes and respiratory disease by reducing air pollution. Drew Shindell, professor of climate sciences at the Nicholas School, hopes that the analysis

will lead to increased government support and public awareness of the benefits of reducing carbon emissions. “I hope that this result might make people realize that policies that deal with climate change don’t only bring benefits that are spread around the world and mostly happen decades and decades later, but they also bring some benefits right here at home and right away,” Shindell said. “Those benefits are so large that they actually have a larger value than the cost of putting into place these measures.” The researchers published their peerreviewed analysis Feb. 22 in the journal Nature Climate Change.

DEMANDS from page 2 this semester, its co-chairs explained in a previous article. The 10 student members were appointed by the cochairs as well as Duke Student Government President Keizra Mecklai, a senior, and Abbe Labella, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council. The last demand called for increased transparency about the University’s progress. Administrators emphasized a new website that will be launched shortly and allow community members to contribute ideas for the task force. “Communication is being coordinated by the President’s Task Force as well as through the new ‘Inclusive’ web site created by Duke Office of Communications,” wrote Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, in an email. Despite attempts at transparency, Moneta noted that addressing the demands would require “persistent dialogue, authentic interaction and more.” Brodhead explained that the administrative process of responding to the demands is complex. “We are not organizing our response by taking the list of demands and going down them,” he said. “The demands can be grouped in various kinds of issues. Some are higher priority. Some are lower priority. Some need to be dealt with in student affairs. Some need to be dealt with in academic affairs.” Cracknell noted that Concerned Students 1969 had been keeping in touch with minority groups on campus. He said that he understands the difficulty in achieving the various goals of the demands, especially given that there have been many attempts to make demands at Duke. “Many have said the demands are unattainable,” Cracknell said. “I would disagree, but more importantly, the demands must be given in order to work toward the goal of a better, more diverse, inclusive, and just Duke. Historically, I don’t believe that each of these demands will be met, however, I do believe that progress will be made and I know that there will be students that hold the University accountable and move these issues forward.” Faculty diversity demands The demands presented in November highlighted faculty diversity as a major concern, but Brodhead said in a recent conversation with The Chronicle that administrators had already been studying the issue. A report presented to the Academic Council from its Task Force on Diversity in May 2015 found low levels of minority representation among regular rank faculty and tenure track faculty, based on data from 2012. “The issues that were raised about faculty representation were already under intensive internal study by the faculty and administration,” Brodhead said. “There’s a group bringing forward recommendations of implementation of those issues that I think we’ll be looking to hear pretty soon in the future.” Ashby wrote in a memo to undergraduate and graduate students Jan. 13 that she had created a Diversity Advisory Committee for Trinity, comprised of faculty, administrators and staff that meets bi-weekly to discuss diversity issues. Cracknell noted that the students who presented the demands have also been working to push Duke’s graduate and professional schools to increase their diversity. “There aren’t any black faculty that I know of at the Nicholas School,” Cracknell said. “We’ve looked at several different ways to create that diversity through different partnerships or fellowships and ways to bring more people of color to the decision-making table.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

THROWN OUT OF SYNC

Brandon Ingram’s early foul trouble forced the Blue Devils to adjust on both ends of the floor Brian Pollack The Chronicle When Duke has been successful this year, it has mostly been on the backs of two players—Grayson Allen and Brandon Ingram. The pair represents the top scoring duo in the ACC at 38.2 points per game, and are the only underclassmen among the conference’s top dozen scorers, carrying a young squad through the rigors of a long season. But in the Blue Devils’ showdown with North Carolina Saturday, they were missing contributions from half of that couple. Allen paced Duke with team-highs of 29 points and five assists, shouldering much of the load as his younger sidekick was notably passive. Ingram finished the game with 10 points—his second-lowest total in conference play—and was almost entirely ineffective in the first half, when he was held scoreless on just one field goal attempt. The Kinston, N.C., native picked up his second foul less than nine minutes into the game and was forced to ride the bench for the remainder of the first half. Duke was in a 20-9 hole at that point and eventually closed the half down eight with Ingram off the floor. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said he would have inserted Ingram back in during the first half were it not for his teammates chipping away at the Tar Heels’ lead on their own, but knows that the Blue Devils cannot thrive longterm—or in the postseason—without production from their prized 6-foot-9 swingman. “Not having [Ingram] out there is bad for everyone because he’s really good,” Krzyzewski said. “Even for spacing, the attention that he would draw, wherever he is, gets a little bit maybe more space where someone doesn’t see you. For us to win anything substantial, we have to have [him] and Grayson on the court all the time.

Carolyn Chang | The Chronicle Brandon Ingram was held scoreless in the first half and attempted just one field goal in the first 20 minutes.

Lily Coad | The Chronicle Brandon Ingram shot just 3-of-12 from the field Saturday night, never settling into a rhythm after picking up two fouls in the first 10 minutes and picking up his fourth foul with more than 10 minutes remaining.

When the second half started, Ingram was back on the floor guarding North Carolina center Kennedy Meeks instead of forward Brice Johnson. After Johnson corralled one of his 12 offensive rebounds and went up for a putback, though, Ingram made contact with his arm and was whistled for his third foul less than a minute into the second half. The pressing foul trouble caused Krzyzewski to switch away from man defense and into a 2-3 zone, allowing Ingram to stay on the floor with a lesser risk of contact. The change allowed the Tar Heels—who had already grabbed 10 offensive rebounds in the first half— to exploit the Blue Devils on the glass even further and get inside for several easy chances. The zone goaded North Carolina into taking more perimeter shots— where the Tar Heels connected on just 4-of-23 3-pointers—and was effective in limiting them to 28 percent shooting in the second half. But Duke was unable to protect against the sheer number of opportunities North Carolina earned, yielding 17 offensive boards in the final 20 minutes—including six on a single possession. “As soon as Brandon got the third foul, [we switched to zone] right away,” Krzyzewski said. “We didn’t pre-see playing zone at all if we’re not in foul trouble. But we didn’t do a bad job of it except for rebounding. We’re not that proficient at it. I thought we handled it well, but we didn’t finish the exchange on the rebound.” After picking up his third foul, Ingram became more aggressive on the offensive end and looked to assert himself for the first time all night. He proceeded to take four of the Blue Devils’ next six shots and scored all 10 of his points in a nineminute span as Duke whittled the Tar Heel lead down to 55-53. “I knew I had to be aggressive going into the second half. I was sitting out for a long time and I just tried to stay into the game on the bench,” Ingram said. “I tried

to get those guys pumped up and keep it going while it was the first half. After we played so horribly, we were only down eight and [in the second half] we tried to make a push.” Just as Ingram was settling into his groove, things turned sour again for the lanky freshman. He picked up his fourth foul with 10:07 to go, setting up a tricky situation for Krzyzewski as he had to balance the risk of losing his most versatile weapon. But as he did in the first contest with North Carolina—when center Marshall Plumlee played the final 10:51 with four fouls—Krzyzewski trusted his player to be effective without fouling, and Ingram did not come off the court. Ingram, though, had been in a similar position before. In Duke’s road loss to Clemson Jan. 13, he was saddled with three fouls before halftime and still played 34 minutes, but was less productive in the second half, when he scored only one point. “Just be smart. I knew from experience to just be smart,” Ingram said. “It happened a couple of times earlier in the season. I just tried to stay aggressive and make some winning plays.”

Duke as a team did not make enough of those winning plays, and Ingram misfired on all four of his shots in the final 10 minutes. He finished just 3-of-12 from the field—his seventh straight game shooting worse than 50 percent—and was a shell of the dynamic player Blue Devil fans enjoyed for much of the season. At a slight 6-foot-9 and 190 pounds, the topic of fatigue has been brought up repeatedly surrounding Ingram. Both he and Krzyzewski have pointed to it increasingly as the season has worn on, and it has been evident in his play of late. But with the regular season now in the rearview mirror, the Blue Devils need Ingram to once again become the twoway force he is capable of being if they are to have any hopes of making noise in the postseason. “He’s such an important part of our team, offensively and defensively,” Allen said. “Offensively, he gives us another dimension where we can spread the floor and he can make a lot of plays with the ball in his hand. Defensively, he can get after it with his length and block some shots. He can grab some rebounds above everyone else’s arms, and so we missed that.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Notre Dame dispatches Duke for third straight year Ben Feder The Chronicle GREENSBORO, N.C.—Desperate for a statement win to vastly improve its tournament chances, Duke needed its stars to shine brightest to upset one of the best teams in the nation. But with sharpshooter and second team All-ACC selection Rebecca Greenwell sidelined with a back injury, the shorthanded Blue Devils’ inexperienced backcourt was exposed against the topseeded team in the ACC tournament, as they struggled with ball security and shooting the ball from beyond the arc. Five Notre Dame players scored in doublefigures for the 10th time this season as the No. 2 Fighting Irish routed eighth-seeded Duke 8354 in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament Friday afternoon at the Greensboro Coliseum. The Blue Devils shot just 31.7 percent for the game and committed 14 turnovers that led to 19 Notre Dame points. The loss puts Duke’s NCAA tournament hopes on life support, as the Blue Devils can do nothing further to improve their resume as they await their postseason fate March 14 on Selection Monday. “We played one of the hardest schedules in the country. We played away against a lot of great programs. I think this team has done amazing things. We have one of the best players in the country on our team. I feel like we’ve overcome a great deal,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “A great deal more than any other team in the country, and despite today, we are the greatest story. This team is the greatest story. No one out there has any idea what we’ve been through and what we’d like to continue to go through to be in that tournament.” Playing a zone defense, the Fighting Irish (29-1) limited the effectiveness of Duke’s post

players. By converging on star sophomore Azurá Stevens and junior Oderah Chidom whenever they touched the ball in the paint, Notre Dame disrupted Duke’s offensive flow. After a hot start in which she led Duke with six points as the Blue Devils (20-12) jumped out to a quick 9-8 lead, Chidom never regained her early rhythm and committed five turnovers. “We played a lot more 2-3 zone than we would have if Greenwell was in the lineup. Certainly she’s a great perimeter shooter and we wouldn’t have probably been able to play as much zone,” Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw said.

Stevens turned in another double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds in her second game back from a foot injury, but needed 17 shots to arrive at that total. Chidom finished with eight points and 11 rebounds. Without Greenwell, Duke’s role players had to step up and make the Fighting Irish pay from the perimeter, as they dared freshmen Kyra Lambert, Faith Suggs and Crystal Primm to shoot over the top of the zone. With Notre Dame’s Lindsay Allen pressed up on 35.2 percent 3-point shooter Angela Salvadores— who shot 1-4 from deep after going 0-of-7 Thursday against Virginia—the Fighting Irish

gave the other guards ample room to operate beyond the arc. But the Blue Devils could not capitalize, enduring another rough shooting night from downtown—though three fourthquarter triples from Lambert helped Duke finish 8-of-22 from deep. But by that point, the outcome was already determined. A 21-4 run in the second quarter helped Notre Dame seize control after a back-andforth first quarter, and the Fighting Irish scored 12 of the first 14 points coming out of the locker room to blow the game open. Sisters Michaela and Marina Mabrey combined for 25 points and four 3-pointers, and Madison Cable added three more triples for Notre Dame, which outrebounded Duke 44-32. “Faith Suggs and Kyra Lambert played good games today [without Greenwell] and I hope the committee can see that we tried our best and that we were missing one of our key scorers,” Chidom said. The Fighting Irish’s potent offense snapped Duke’s streak of 16 games limiting opponents to less than 70 points. After a first quarter in which it shot less than 30 percent, Notre Dame found its shooting stroke in the second quarter as it put up 25 points in the period. By getting out in transition after grabbing long rebounds and forcing turnovers, the Fighting Irish took advantage of the limited Blue Devil depth to run up and down the floor. Now, Duke can only hope for the best after getting knocked out of the ACC tournament by Notre Dame for the third consecutive year. “I feel like we’d be a great, fun team to watch in the tournament because I think we’d be a little bit of an outlier,” McCallie said. “I know we wouldn’t be a top seed, but I think that’s what the tournament is all about, especially on the women’s side—the storylines and how teams fight. I’m still amazed this team won 20 games when you think about it.”

Blue Devils ground Rockets in weekend sweep at DBAP Ryan Hoerger The Chronicle After struggling at the plate Friday and Saturday, Toledo entered Sunday’s series finale trying to get its offense on track. But Brian McAfee made sure the Rockets continued to fizzle with another dominant Blue Devil performance on the mound. Duke polished off a sweep of Toledo with a 3-2 win Sunday at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, keyed by McAfee’s seven stellar innings. The Cornell transfer 1 scattered four hits TOL DUKE 2 and struck out six, limiting the Rockets 1 to just one run as TOL DUKE 6 Duke cruised into the ninth inning with a 2 two-run lead before TOL DUKE 3 senior Nick Hendrix worked out a jam with the tying run 90 feet away to finish things off. McAfee’s outing followed on the heels of seven-inning gems from Bailey Clark and Trent Swart in the first two games of the series. For the weekend, Blue Devil starters held Toledo to

two runs on 10 hits and racked up 23 strikeouts, grounding the Rocket offense. “We got three terrific starts, we really did,” Duke head coach Chris Pollard said. “Not a single one of them threw 100 pitches. I thought Brian was particularly efficient—[he] hunted contact. He made an adjustment after the first couple innings and did a good job getting back down in the zone. His stuff was live, just a bit elevated early, but really adjusted and got down in the zone late.” McAfee retired the first six Toledo batters he faced—striking out three of them—and then got some run support in the bottom of the second. Ryan Day drew a leadoff walk for Duke (8-4), then scampered around to score as sophomore Evan Dougherty lined a triple into the right-center field gap, just sliding in safely ahead of the throw to third. Dougherty trotted home on a sacrifice fly off the bat of right fielder Peter Zyla to make it 2-0, but Toledo starter Sam Shutes ended the threat with a strikeout of leadoff man Zack Kone after yielding a two-out double to catcher Cris Perez. There would be no shutdown inning, though, as McAfee put himself in a jam in the top of the See BASEBALL on Page 8

They do that as well as any team in the country.” After being held scoreless in the first 20 minutes with just one shot attempt, Ingram took four of Duke’s first five shots out of the break, finally getting on the board by bulldozing his way through Justin Jackson in the lane. On the other end, the Blue Devils stayed in the zone as the Tar Heels missed their first 11 shots of the half. After Joel Berry II broke the long drought with a 3-pointer, Kennard responded with one of his own, keeping the margin at five and igniting a big run. Back-to-back triples from Allen and Ingram brought Duke to within one, and after a Meeks bucket down low, Allen splashed home

the Blue Devils’ fourth straight 3-pointer from the top of the key to tie the game at 49. Williams—who had resisted using a timeout while the Blue Devils whittled the deficit from eight down to zero— called one then, and told his team to respond, just as they did in the first half when Duke closed to within 25-22. They did again. Allen stepped in front of a pass on the ensuing possession, but Theo Pinson poked it away from him and set up Jackson for a lay-up. The sophomore missed, and Pinson—true to the story of the game—out-jumped the Blue Devils for the tip-in. On the other end, Allen fired a 3-pointer and fell down, with the long rebound trickling out to Jackson, who fed Paige for another transition basket. The Tar Heels had taken Duke’s best punch, and turned what looked likely to be the Blue Devils’ first lead of the night into a

53-49 North Carolina lead, forcing Krzyzewski to stop things just 37 seconds later. Johnson took just one shot in the first 10 minutes of the second half, but got going again with several short jumpers as the Blue Devils went cold, missing eight of 10 shots. Berry II knocked down a corner 3-pointer—one of just four North Carolina triples Saturday—to push the lead back to seven, then weaved in and out of traffic on a coast-to-coast drive to put the Tar Heels ahead 68-59. Allen scored eight straight Duke points to help trim the deficit to three, but North Carolina capped its 20-of-23 performance at the charity stripe with eight straight makes. Duke made just four of its first 16 shots, falling into a 20-9 hole—but heated up to finish 13-of-34 from downtown. The problems came at the free-throw line, where the Blue Devils were 9-of-15. Known for his aggressive drives to the rim, Allen took just two free throws all night, and split the pair. “We have to get to the foul line, which is what we’ve done a lot this season until lately because we don’t have an inside game,” Krzyzewski said. “The 3-point shooting is complemented by the free throws, and that’s who we are. Tonight wasn’t conducive to that. Their rebounding was fantastic. Brice gets 21, and they more than doubled our rebounds, and still we had a chance to win. We were right there.” The loss drops Duke into the No. 5 seed in next week’s ACC tournament in Washington, where the Blue Devils will play either Wake Forest or N.C. State Wednesday afternoon. “We’ve had a stretch in ACC play where we’ve rebounded well, and we fought down there and we played together offensively and defensively and put a full game together,” Allen said. “But today that wasn’t the case. If we play like this in the postseason, it’s not going to be good.”

JEFFERSON from page 1 “We waited as long as we could to see if Amile could come back. We knew like a day or so ago, but we didn’t want to put that out and have that be the story of the game. He just can’t jump,” Krzyzewski said after Saturday’s 76-72 loss. “We’ll put in for a medical hardship waiver. It’s not like you can say he’s going to redshirt [automatically]— you have to put in for it. But he should be kind of a rubber stamp because he hasn’t played in over 30 percent of the games.” After Jefferson went down initially, Krzyzewski shifted his starting lineup to give it more of a small-ball look, with 6-foot-9 Brandon Ingram playing the stretch four position. That opened up an extra starting spot in the backcourt, which has been split between rookies Luke Kennard and Derryck Thornton. Kennard received the starting nod in Duke’s first game without Jefferson—a 99-65 victory against Georgia Southern Dec. 15—but Krzyzewski has gravitated toward Thornton more as of late, opting to give the offense a more traditional point guard and a dangerous scoring weapon off the bench. Aside from Kennard, though, the Blue Devil bench has become noticeably thin without Jefferson. Freshman center Chase Jeter has not shown enough to warrant significant action, leaving six players to bear the burden of playing heavy minutes for more than two-thirds of the season and the entirety of Duke’s ACC slate. Duke’s lack of depth without Jefferson has left it extremely susceptible to any additional injuries or foul trouble. When Matt Jones’ ankle sprain was compounded with a Derryck

Lily Coad | The Chronicle Sidelined since Dec. 12 with a fractured right foot, Amile Jefferson could only watch as the Tar Heels outrebounded the Blue Devils 64-29 Saturday.

Thornton shoulder scare and foul trouble for Kennard and Grayson Allen at Louisville Feb. 20, the Blue Devils were forced to turn to walk-on Nick Pagliuca to close out the game— underscoring the razor-thin margin for error the team now operates with. “We have to get rested. We don’t have any depth,” Krzyzewski said. “We don’t have anybody to replace those guys. We have to figure out a regimen of toughness without physicality…. But again, that’s what we’ve been doing, so I’m not feeling sorry for us.” Jefferson’s absence has been felt in many forms, but the most tangible hole he left has been on the boards. The 6-foot-9 senior was averaging a career-high 10.3 rebounds per game before his injury and has always been an efficient weapon thanks to his knack for offensive rebounding. But with him on the sidelines, Duke now plays three guards at all times and has had trouble dealing with interior-oriented teams—a fact North Carolina made painfully clear

Saturday, outrebounding Duke 64-29. With Marshall Plumlee as the lone true big man, the Blue Devils have been victimized on the glass in many of their losses and have struggled to defend teams with multiple threats in the post. The Tar Heel duo of Kennedy Meeks and Brice Johnson grabbed 35 rebounds as part of North Carolina’s commanding effort on the boards, and the visitors from Chapel Hill turned 27 offensive rebounds into 20 secondchance points and 42 points in the paint. Protecting the glass has been a constant point of emphasis for the Blue Devils after Jefferson went down, but they will need to shore up that weakness or face an early exit in the postseason. “We’ve been playing without him for three months and we have the same mentality,” Ingram said. “We’re not going to have any excuses going into this tournament, and we’re going to try to exploit any teams’ weaknesses and try to get better on the offensive and defensive boards.”

The Chronicle

BASEBALL from page 7 third by hitting a batter and yielding a one-out single. After leadoff man A.J. Montoya went down swinging for the second out of the inning, second baseman Matt Hansen bounced a single through the right side to get the Rockets (1-9-1) on the board and trim the deficit in half. Duke retaliated again in the bottom half of the frame when sophomore Jack Labosky drilled a double high off the DBAP’s iconic Blue Monster in left field, plating freshman Jimmy Herron, who had put himself in scoring position with his second stolen base of the day. “I was hoping maybe it would go out, but off the bat it didn’t feel like I got 100 percent of the ball,” Labosky said. “Playing at this park, though, the Monster’s going to eat up a few balls so you know it doesn’t have to be a home run to get an extra-base hit to left field.” The Blue Devils could not put any more balls into orbit Sunday, as three Rocket relievers did not allow a hit the rest of the way. Duke’s three hits were a season-low, but Pollard’s lineup squared up plenty of balls that flew right to perfectly positioned Toledo defenders, including a lined shot off the bat of sophomore Max Miller in the fifth inning that could have gone for extra bases if not for a nice snag by third baseman Dan Zuchowski. “I counted up in our postgame meeting eight what I would call very loud outs, meaning we hit the ball right on the button and had nothing to show for it,” Pollard said. “We had some really good swings today. Three hits is not indicative of the way we swung the bats today.” But with McAfee on the mound, the Blue Devils did not need any more offense. The Bothell, Wash., native retired seven straight hitters before giving up a one-out walk in the sixth, and escaped trouble in the seventh when he induced a ground ball to second base that erased a two-out threat with runners on the corners. McAfee needed just 84 pitches to finish the seventh—right at the hoped-for target of 12 pitches per frame—and threw 66 for strikes. “[Throwing strikes]—that’s the gameplan. We want to challenge the hitters, but at the same time we don’t want to give anything too good,” McAfee said. “My change-up was working well today. I was working on getting my arm slot up higher toward my fastball arm slot, and it was getting a lot depth as I moved that.” Kellen Urbon—McAfee’s former teammate with the Big Red—tossed a scoreless eighth out of the bullpen to bridge the gap to Hendrix, who quickly jumped ahead of Ryan Callahan. But an 0-2 pitch caught too much of the strike zone, and Callahan roped it down the left-field line for a leadoff double. Hendrix regrouped by striking out Zuchowski, but center fielder John Martillotta turned on a 1-2 offering from the Blue Devil closer and lined it into the leftfield corner, plating Callahan and putting the tying run in scoring position. Martillotta moved up 90 feet on a wild pitch, but Hendrix—who had not allowed a run all season before Sunday—buckled down to freeze pinch-hitter Josh Cales with an inside fastball before inducing a game-ending fly-out off the bat of Lucas Sokol. “Once you get hit a little bit, it narrows your focus. You start thinking, ‘Alright, I’ve got to bear down here,’” Hendrix said. “[I] just tried to over-emphasize the inner half, the second strikeout was an inside fastball and I made sure I got it out there that time.” Duke welcomes Penn State to the DBAP Wednesday at 4 p.m. before ACC play gets underway with defending national champion Virginia making a visit to Durham for a three-game series.

Uncle Sam should not read your texts

t the end of last year, California saw the deadliest terror attack on American soil since September 11 in the mass shooting and attempted bombing of San Bernardino. In the aftermath of this tragedy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation asked Apple last month to assist in a bruteforce attack on the passcode to gunman Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone. Apple pointedly refused in a letter from CEO Tim Cook. The Justice Department obtained a judicial order requiring Apple to design the software needed for this kind of entry. Apple appealed this motion two weeks ago, and tech giants, law enforcement agencies, activist groups and private citizens have been taking sides on whether the government can burden Apple in this way. As a follow-up to our discussion of attitudes towards privacy last semester, today we are confronted with the question of what gives when data privacy goes up against national security. In our view, Apple should not be required to break into its own software, opening a Pandora’s box of what would be legal intrusions into the otherwise private data of Americans. To be clear, Apple is not

Apple is not obstructing the implementation of a vital national security

Editorial measure in this case. The Stuxnet virus used in 2010 to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program demonstrates that the government can and will disrupt the technological abilities of targets. Further, the San Bernardino case does not seem to concern any kind of immediate threat. It is neither a ticking time bomb nor an urgent hostage scenario. Instead, it is believed that there “may be” relevant communications that is only on the iPhone itself. Given the existence of open-source online encryption systems such as Cryptocat, it seems unlikely that ISIS-

supported terrorists would communicate via phones that they know belong to the county government. If the court order is not vacated, the government is able to order similar software to be developed in future cases with different companies. This debate, featuring Apple, has brought data privacy into the public eye, and the legal case around it could define precedent for future privacy breaches by our executive branch. Our Constitution is framed upon a belief that the law is meant to protect its citizens and the innocent. If the government prevails, law can be used to invade digital privacy like never before. As we wrote in October, Americans ought to form and closely inspect their views on the real and digital privacy rights of citizens. Remaining complacent here could be dangerous. There are representatives and senators to write to and articles to be read in order to stay informed on how the world has changed since smartphones became such commonplace utilities in just the last several years. To borrow a phrase from the late Justice Scalia, the proud men who authored our Constitution would not have turned out their pockets for royal inspection.

Taken to Trask

y Good Sir Monday, Earlier this week, the work-study student who reads me the day’s news stories before lunch brought to my ear a most disturbing piece—your dear Chronicle had published a news article claiming I had made disgusting, racist comments to a young parking attendant after she wandered into the path of my automobile. While I regret the accident, I regret the potential damage to my reputation even more. Can you use your space in this dumb, dumb rag of a newspaper to clarify my innocence? Warm regards, The Notorious Tallman Trask III

pattern of poor decision-making that has us all questioning your status at Duke. Why deny hitting the attendant until the apology postcard came out? Why let DUPD, which you direct, run the investigation of your actions? Why do I have more connections than you on LinkedIn? Why haven’t you accepted my invitation yet? It’s internship hunting season, Mr. Trask, and I’m hoping to get enough connections that Morgan Stanley doesn’t notice my 2.7 GPA. But back to the Trask at hand. If there’s going to be any hope of you staying on at Duke, we can’t rely on people like me who have never heard of you before. We need to rebrand your image, from

Monday Monday YOU’RE WELCOME Biggie Talls, First off, I would like to tell you what an honor it is to receive a letter from someone of your stature. While I actually had no idea you or your position existed until, like, the beginning of last week, I understand the role you play in connecting us back to the southern values Duke so often fails to remember, like naming your children using a Farmer’s Almanac from 1852 or hitting minorities with your Porsche (side note: I’ve personally found Windex works best to clean their greasy, fast-food-and-Cheetos-dusted fingerprints off that shiny paint job). Since I read the piece, I thought the case claiming you used a racial epithet was based mostly on hearsay. Maybe, as part of a larger piece on institutional racism, your actions are informative, but even then it just seems like you almost ran over one of those people who scream that you can’t park in your space because it’s a game day, which I can’t fault you for—if there was a Purge, those people would be first on my list too. You and I both know, though, that facts shouldn’t get in the way of a good story—just think back to the Duke Lacrosse case, when you reached the conclusion that the claims against the players were probably false, then did nothing while President Brodhead released statements indicting them. Now, he, a rich, white, male administrator whose name sounds like a new Ben and Jerry’s flavor is secretly hiding a fudgy swirl of racism? More than that, he’s part of an institutional failure involving the people who give me parking tickets and hit a poor person with a car that costs more than their house? That’s preconceived biases one through seven checked off, and you know what that means—time for the pitchforks. It isn’t just your presumed guilt; it’s the

that of some old guy who bought a Porsche with my tuition to a fighter—a real maverick who will take Duke back for its students. Luckily for you, you’ve found the right Duke student to help you navigate this “little bump in road”, if you know what I mean. First, we need to land ourselves a prime naming opportunity—yes, I know, that Abele guy was supposed to get the main quad named after him, but he’s long dead, and we have a crisis on our hands. Even something small like “Tallman Trask’s Tailgate and Tanlines Triangle at Abele Quad” would demonstrate Duke’s core value of creating as many donor-naming opportunities as possible while still highlighting your status as standing for a little more fun in the administration. Once we have popular opinion on our side, we take action against the very people responsible for this debacle—Parking and Transportation Services. As I’ve suggested before, any range of actions, from burning down their houses to forcing them to drive in circles while screaming “YOU CAN’T PARK HERE, THERE’S A GAME GOING ON” through a megaphone would show students you mean business, and will crush all those who dare oppose you. If I’m wrong, and all this Executive-VicePresident-ing doesn’t work out, I’m sure you could find you a job in Durham, maybe on the Shooters’ bouncer squad—they’ve never turned away an aging white guy. All I ask of you is that you remember who helped you out when you were down, and let me cut the “over-21” line. If you’re lucky, I might even flash a little cleavage. Dr. Monday sincerely apologizes for the number of name-based puns in this article, which is a complete and utter Traskedy.

Hello from the other side

irst I heard the screams— piercing, otherworldly screams. Caterwauls and whooping and ululation. Then the pitter-patter of scurrying feet. And I saw, flashing in the distance, the red and blue lights of emergency vehicles. Meanwhile, a chopper whirred overhead. Such were the sights and sounds of Chapel Hill Saturday night. Why would any self-respecting Blue Devil be at UNC while the Duke men’s basketball team was battling its archrival in Cameron?

the language of engagement: “Register to vote! Join our alternative spring break trip! Sign this petition!” It’s a scene teeming with a level of enthusiasm unrivaled even by Duke groups tabling on the BC Plaza during a sunny day. 2.UNC students aren’t caught up in how busy they are. “Effortless perfection” is a misnomer. At Duke, there’s nothing effortless about effortless perfection. We Duke students pride ourselves on how busy we are, the number of midterms we have to

Matthew King THE JOY OF TEXT For one, my scholarship requires me to spend the spring semester of my sophomore year at UNC-Chapel Hill. But, you might be thinking, at the very least I could have watched from Duke. The truth is, after viewing Duke’s victory over Carolina earlier this semester from a UNC common room, I got hooked on the sight of weepy, sniffling, despondent Tar Heels. Schadenfreude is an addicting emotion, and I wanted another hit. But after Duke’s loss Saturday night, I was the one feeling dismal. It was with a heavy heart that this disappointed Blue Devil donned Carolina blue and joined the revelers on Franklin Street. What I saw shocked me. They chanted a call-and-response: “Taaaaaaar?” “HEELS!” “Taaaaaaar?” “HEELS!” They burned couches. They took selfies and linked arms and unfurled banners. These celebrations weren’t shocking because they were spontaneous and spectacular. They were shocking because they were so familiar, because evoked a certain déja vu: the memory of Duke’s victory over UNC last spring and the subsequent rejoicing on the West Campus quad. Duke and UNC are not so different. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that our two universities would be nothing without each other. They are engaged in an unending, almost Manichaean struggle. Rivalry is the ultimate form of interdependence. Like two stars in a binary system, Duke and UNC are locked in each other’s orbit, emitting different shades of blue, defining themselves in relation to each other. Each university is a community knit together by myth, memory and symbol—the foundations of enduring group identity. When I visit my friends at Duke, they’ll often ask in a concerned air: “So how is UNC?” And when I answer, “Terrific!” or “Great!” they seem surprised. After all, Duke students overwhelmingly approach the idea of UNC with a smug, self-assured sense of superiority. Humbling moments like Saturday night’s loss should challenge us to rethink such assumptions and consider what UNC does well, and where Duke might do better by imitating our rival down the road. Here are three areas where UNC has got us beat: 1.UNC has more homegrown political and civic engagement. Carolina doesn’t need a glitzy “summer of service” program with a $30 million endowment to foster civic engagement. A constellation of student groups, including a hub for social justice and service called the Campus Y, make political and civic engagement a cornerstone of Carolina’s culture. Walk through The Pit on a typical day and you’ll be accosted by Tar Heels shouting

surmount in a coming week, how well we’re doing despite the ridiculously few hours of sleep we got last night. This impression crystallized a few weeks ago when, to my horror, I watched two of my Duke friends compare their Google Calendars to determine who was actually busier. In contrast, UNC students aren’t unbearably busy all the time. Last month, as I was collecting signatures for a UNC student body president campaign, three out of every four passing Tar Heels would actually stop for 20 seconds to sign their names and ask questions about the campaign. Anyone who’s ever tabled on the BC Plaza knows the frustration of trying to get passing Duke students to slow down and spare a few seconds of their time to contribute to a worthy cause. 3.At UNC, the idea of a liberal education is alive and well. At a time when Duke’s curriculum review suggests loosening the foreign language requirement and mandating that students pursue a major plus some other academic credential (a policy that will only contribute to the “Credentialitis” epidemic), the idea of a liberal education—that is, a broad education aimed at preparing students to participate in a free society—remains vibrant at UNC. Yes, Carolina students gripe about having to fulfill curricular requirements just like students anywhere else, but the dividends from UNC’s curriculum accrue immediately. I’ve witnessed UNC juniors and seniors, having completed the required classes in UNC’s liberal arts curriculum, apply the knowledge and reasoning skills they’ve gained to deliver thoughtful analysis and pose illuminating questions in one of my seminar classes. Furthermore, my experience in that class—a well-loved Honors Carolina course called “Elements of Politics”— contrasts starkly with my classes at Duke. Everyone does the reading. No one is angling for “participation points.” People actually listen to each other. If people have their computers open, they’re taking notes, not texting friends on iMessage, scrolling through Facebook or shopping on Amazon. The students at Carolina aren’t afraid to say, “I don’t know,” or to ask questions about a passage they don’t fully understand. We leave class knowing that we’ve only scratched the surface of the works we’re reading. My education is richer and fuller for this study of contrasts between Duke and UNC. I’ll admit it: there are some times when it’s a good day to be a (temporary) Tar Heel. Matthew King is a Trinity sophomore. His column runs alternate Mondays.

Letter to the Editor

ear Chronicle Editor, I have been following your articles regarding Duke University’s Department of Parking and Transportation Services. I would like to address specifically the exaggerated allegations directed towards Mr. Carl DePinto, Director of Duke Parking and Transportation Services. I am perhaps one of the very few who knows all the players and can speak truthfully about some of the atmosphere and activities within PTS. I have worked intimately in various aspects of the department’s operation since September 2014. I am a former United States Army Officer and possess more than 30 years of corporate management experience. And for the record, I happen to be African-American. Let me begin by addressing the racial discrimination issue. Sadly this issue continues to be a blemish on our society. It should be noted, racism is a two-way street. African-Americans can be racist too. Also everything negative that occurs to an African-American in the workplace is not racially motivated. If someone loses their job or receives an unfavorable evaluation for low productivity, insubordination or a host of other things, it isn’t automatically because of racism. I have never observed or experienced any behavior from Mr. DePinto which could be deemed as racially motivated. When Mr. DePinto arrived at Duke in October 2014, he walked into a hostile environment. He wasn’t liked initially because he, like his predecessor, is of Italian descent. Additionally, he was coming from New York City and brought with him many mannerisms found in the Big Apple. We, here in the South find some of these mannerisms less-than tasteful. Yes, these are petty differences but nonetheless that was the mindset. Consequently, many within PTS refused to work with him and actively sought to undermine his efforts. In any organizational structure, the department head is responsible to provide leadership and direction. At Duke, a department director’s mandate is provided by the executive-level vice presidents or their designees. Although they may never know the specifics of a director’s goals, department managers and staff members have the responsibility to provide support to the department heads in achieving these objectives. Anything contrary to providing that support is counterproductive. In this regard, many within PTS seemed oblivious to their role and responsibility. As a result Mr. DePinto has had to deal with numerous feeble grievances, complaints and accusations from subordinate staff. I cannot say that I am surprised that the media has now been manipulated to serve this purpose. Now let’s discuss the department’s status and some relative facts.

In some areas, PTS may have operated effectively but efficiency is another matter. Financially: PTS has operated for many years in the red. Historically the department amassed some of the highest levels of overtime at the University. It is extremely difficult to forecast and budget overtime. In corporate America overtime often equates to the kiss of death for managers failing to control it. Although Duke is financially sound, it is not a bottomless pit. Finally there were strong indications of the theft of revenue dollars as well as supplies and materials. I believe Mr. DePinto, who is “bottom-line” motivated, was brought in specifically to resolve these issues. And under Mr. DePinto’s tutelage the department is making tremendous strides. Operationally: In October 2014 staffing was relatively high while production output did not justify the high number of FTE’s (full-time equivalents). The re-striping of the numerous lots and garages across campus had not occurred in several years. Resurfacing was badly needed, and potholes presented significant hazards to parking patrons. Dim lighting and faulty video surveillance in garages were the norm. Customer service within the department was rumored to be abysmal at best. Today, each of these areas and more have been addressed by Carl DePinto and the competent group of managers and staff members who ARE working with him. While there have been growing pangs, the department is significantly improved. Mr. DePinto’s management style is that of a hands-on manager. Whether it is “Game Day” parking or snow removal operations, he is there and active. He is involved in all aspects of the operation. Now you may be thinking I am Mr. DePinto’s personal yes-man, his cheerleader, his flunky or maybe something even worse. I am not. I don’t always agree with his decisions or the manner he chooses to address problems. We have bumped heads, debated and even argued. Yes, he demands a lot and pushes his staff sometimes to limits we don’t always know we can reach. Yes, he can be short, curt and abrasive too. And he does not always listen very well. But does he deserve the negative attention and allegations of wrong doing? I say, absolutely not. Carl DePinto has proved and continues to prove himself as an asset and a credit to Duke University and to the Department of Parking and Transportation Services. While there are more improvements to be made within PTS, it is my belief Mr. DePinto should be allowed to complete this task. Respectfully, Jerome A. Ballew PTS staff member
