The Miami Hurricanes entered the game against Duke prepared for an upset. The team showed it has the talent to compete with the Blue Devils, but simply struggled down the stretch.

It was the Freshman who put on a show Monday night. Lonnie Walker led Miami with 19 points while Gary Trent led Duke with 30 points. Chris Lykes also finished with 13 points off the bench for Miami.

The Hurricanes got the crowd involved early as Lykes showed his explosiveness. On one drive he performed a quick dribble move on a Duke defender before he finished with an and one off the glass.

Duke jumped out to an early 35-28 lead in the first half. However, the Hurricanes would respond by going on a 12-3 run to take a two point lead. The run started with a Dewan Huell putback dunk and it was capped by a Lonnie Walker three near the right corner. The Hurricanes went into halftime in a close game, with the score 42-40.

Miami used the home court to their advantage as they grabbed the momentum at the start of the second half. Bruce Brown got things going when he stole the ball from Trent Jr. and passed to Anthony Lawrence Jr. who hit the open three. Lonnie Walker decided to get in on the action himself, as he pulled up on a fast break and nailed a three from the top of the key, giving the Hurricanes a 52-44 lead.

Up 56-46, Lykes wet a three from way outside to give the Canes a 13 point lead. Miami would continue to lead the game for a couple more minutes as they stretched their lead to 66-53 with about eight minutes left. However, that was when the Duke run started.

Duke would go on an 18-0 run that started with two threes by Trent Jr. and ended with a layup and a three by Trevon Duval.

The Blue Devils held the lead for the rest of the game and won by a score of 83-75.

The Hurricanes will potentially have a chance at redemption if they see Duke in the ACC tournament.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
