Latest news and updates about the Duke
There are so many high points in Duke Basketball history that it’s hard to remember everything and easy to forget stuff. Duke hung a banner in Cameron to commemorate Mike Krzyzewski’s 1,000th win, but do you remember when that happened? Who the opponent was? Where that game was? See what we mean? Assuming you don’t […]
Coming off the Christmas Break there is plenty for the Duke Basketball Roundup to discuss. First up on their plate is a preview of the Sun Bowl against Arizona State. Listen in to find out which Blue Devils and which Sun Devils will be actually suit up and play in the bowl game. After the […]
Historically, the University of Miami has been irrelevant in the college basketball landscape. The dominant football powerhouse has been a perennial underachiever on the hardwood. However, signs are pointing up, and skies appear to be brightening. New head coach Jai Lucas has brought in the winning pedigree he sustained as an assistant at Duke. Since […]
You’d have a hard time beating this from Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka the Greek Freak. Check out what he said in 2023 about if he had gone to college: “I’m 6’11” and I can handle the ball, pass and get in the paint. You see players like that [at Duke]: Zion Williamson, Jabari Parker, Jayson Tatum, […]
Frankly it’s not the kind of record basketball programs are eager to advertise. Before our current era of all-kinds-of-stats-circulated-all-the-time, some coaches and sport information directors actually worked to suppress sharing how many turnovers their teams or players committed. A negative stat, don’t you know? These days turnover totals are routinely available, just part of the […]
Ordinarily, 11-1 against this non-conference slate would be a cause for celebration, but the way that 1 loss happened is hitting hard for Duke fans. The Duke Basketball Roundup gives you a deep dive into the 82-81 loss to Texas Tech including words of praise for Duke’s bench players and some pretty strong criticism of Duke’s […]
Saturday night, Duke lost its first game of the year. The loss came on a neutral site, by one point, to a Top 20 Texas Tech squad with a pre-season All American (JT Toppin) and a dynamic young point guard (Christian Anderson) who may himself challenge for similarly lofty accolades. Despite that star power, the […]
People in our day tend to think that Mike Krzyzewski had it easy at Duke and that of course Duke is dominant because, well, it’s Duke and that’s just the way it is. But when Mike Krzyzewski was hired at Duke, it wasn’t like that. Far from it, in fact as his second and third […]
Duke has never had an undefeated season in basketball and it’s not going to have one now as Texas Tech tagged the Blue Devils with their first loss of the season Saturday, 81-80. And Texas Tech totally deserved that win, too. The Red Raiders started off well, going up 9-0 before Duke pushed back. Nik […]
As a Duke grad and a guy who clearly loves basketball, Adam Silver understands that Cameron Indoor Stadium is a special place. Now he’s considering having NBA Cup games on campuses and in college arenas. Will that work at Duke? Well, maybe. There are some obvious issues, with the first being the size of the […]
The last power conference test for Duke before we embark on the ACC schedule will be Saturday in MSG and the Duke Basketball Roundup is here to get you ready for the contest with Texas Tech. Jason and Donald have all the details including TTech’s shooter who doesn’t take 2-point FGs, the unexpectedly close game […]
Well, that was an interesting game. On Episode 780, we recap the Duke win over Lipscomb where the theme was turnovers and sloppy play. Now, there was still some good from this game, and in a 24-point win, we still lead with it. Jon Scheyer became the fastest ACC coach to 100 wins, we saw […]
Kon Knueppel wasn’t thought of as a home run pick when the Charlotte Hornets selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. For whatever reason, there were questions about his ceiling and his ability to impact the game beyond his outside shooting despite plenty of evidence at Duke that he’s more […] The post Kon Knueppel should be frontrunner for Rookie of the Year first appeared on At The Hive .
It was a tale of two halves. Well, more specifically, Jon Scheyer’s 100th win as Duke’s head coach was a tale of turnovers in two halves. In the first half against Lipscomb, Duke seemed totally disjointed and tossed the ball away constantly, racking up 16 before the break, which was somewhat shocking for a team […]
There is not a lot of movement this week, as the teams at the polls all held serve. There were a few close calls. Iowa State struggled at home agaisnt rival Iowa. Arizona cemented itself at the top with a 21 point win over Alabama. Michigan still looks good. Duke and UConn also each won […]
Right now, as members of the 2025-26 Duke men’s squad pause to take finals and catch their collective breath, it’s worth taking a look at what they’ve accomplished in their first 10 games of the season. Much is rightly made of Duke’s double-figure wins, a start matched among few other D-1 programs. Much is also […]
Before we go any further, please understand that this video is a very rare exception to our general policy of not linking to NSFW stuff. So if you are at work or have small children about, consider yourself warned. That said, Duke fans: you’re going to love this. It’s a rant by a Michigan State […]
It’s been interesting to watch Cam Boozer’s freshman year unfold. He made a huge splash in Duke’s exhibition game against Tennessee, finishing with 24 points and 23 rebounds against a very physical program. Since then, there hasn’t really been much up down as you see with most freshmen. Boozer has had a couple of bad […]
Hey everyone, time for your weekly survey questions. Our first question comes from the Breslin where, after our loss to Duke, our question around the shooting guard position is as big as it has been all year. We want to know who you think should be getting the start at the 2-spot. Over to our […]
The streak goes on. Winning streaks can be affirming, attention-getting, intimidating. A run of victories can invest a team with confidence, encourage supporters, fuel momentum. All of those benefits presumably have accrued as Duke fought its way to victories in its first 10 games of the 2025-26 season. To appreciate what the Blue Devils are […]
Duke broke a four-game losing streak and did it on the road at Virginia Tech, 70-54. Duke survived an awful 24 turnovers largely through defense: the Hokies could not hit a shot, making just 5-16 threes and 17-64 overall, which translates to 31% and 27%. And they also coughed the ball up 17 times. Duke […]
What a Saturday! It was so great, we had to break them up into separate podcasts, which we give to you together! On Episode 777, we discuss Duke Football winning the ACC title over Virginia, its first ACC football title since 1989. Then on Episode 778, we recap Duke Men’s Basketball’s win at the Breslin […]
For the most part, yesterday’s basketball game between Michigan State and Duke was everything it had promised to be – two heavyweight teams exchanging blows. In the end, our Spartans fell a little short and the Blue Devils continued to be Tom Izzo’s Achilles’ heel. And as I said to friends I spoke to afterwards, […]
The Breslin Center crowd was ready to greet Duke for the Blue Devils’ first true road game of the season but Michigan State’s offense struggled in the early going. Kur Teng started at the 2-guard for MSU but was 0-4 from the field at the first media timeout. The Spartans were only able to manage […]
This is the big one! Spartans Vs. Blue Devils. Izzo Vs. Krzyzewski Scheyer. Green Vs. Blue. MSU and Duke will clash in the Breslin Center to see who can remain undefeated. Game is at Noon and airing on FOX. I am going to be there and hopefully some of you will too. Gonna be a […]
