Duke 17, Tulane 3: Five Key Plays
Duke won its fifth consecutive season opener with a 17-3 win over the Tulane Green Wave. Running back Nate Sheppard was the star with 35 carries for 227 yards and two touchdowns. He also had three receptions for 19 yards. Quarterback Walker Eget never seemed to get into a groove as he completed 13 of […]
New Practice Video – Duke’s Looking Great
Duke released some 5-on-5 video Friday, and almost immediately, one noticed Drew Scharnowski on crutches, with some sort of black sleeve covering most of his right leg. Hopefully it’s nothing serious. As a result, freshman Maxime Meyer got more time than he probably would have. What’s immediately obvious, even without the powerful Scharnowski suiting up, […]

YouTube Gold: A Nearly Complete Video Of Skyhook Blocks
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had the greatest weapon in the history of basketball: the Skyhook. When he was young and springy, it was an evolving weapon, but he could really get off the ground. In his prime, it was extremely difficult to deal with, and as an old man, in basketball terms anyway, it was perfected, launched […]

Duke Recruiting: AJ Williams Update
As you probably know, rising star AJ Williams is getting lots of interest, including from Duke. He got another offer this week, this time from Kentucky. It’s hard to know what anyone is thinking, least of all when you can’t know what the packages are a young player is considering, but BYU is also making […]
The LSU vs. SEC Fight Is Going Into Overdrive
The SEC vs. LSU fight has heated up considerably Thursday: a Louisiana state judge ruled that former professional athletes who have sued to get a fifth year of college competition can play. This has infuriated the rest of the SEC, which filed a suit of its own in federal court on Thursday. According to ESPN, […]
YouTube Gold: Duke’s OT Win vs.Virginia For The ACC Championship
With football season starting for Duke on Saturday, we thought it would be a great time to look back at last season’s thrilling overtime ACC Championship win over Virginia. As you may remember, Duke had a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, only to see Virginia rally and tie the game with 22 seconds left […]
Scandal Returns To The UNC Football Program
It might be a bit early to go sharpy on the Bill Belichick era at UNC, but this is going to be tough to survive: according to WRAL, Belichick’s program is facing some major allegations: Former GM Michael Lombardi’s attorney, Tom Mars, said this last week to the Athletic: “If UNC had grounds to fire […]
DBR Podcast 843- Tulane Comes To Town And The Edward Jones Logo
The Duke Basketball Roundup sheds its hoops focus for a moment because Duke Football is upon us. Jason and Donald get ready for the first game of the season by talking a bit about Duke’s new roster and also providing a preview of what to expect from the Tulane Green Wave as they visit Wally Wade. […]
Duke Recruiting: 5-Star Recruit Schedules Visit
Colton Hiller, a highly promising recruit from Coatesville, Pennsylvania, has set visits to Florida and Duke. He’ll be at Florida this weekend, and will be at Duke a month later, on October 5. Hiller came to see Duke play Michigan in D.C. this past winter, which was probably a great visit, all things considered. Hiller […]
A Great Hypothetical Matchup: Duke 2001 vs UConn 2024
Over at CBS Sports, they do a feature every summer called Candid Coaches. The idea is they ask questions anonymously and the coaches, secure in their anonymity, speak freely. The most recent question is: what was the best team so far of the 21st century? The top two vote-getters? 2023-24 UConn, with 17%, and 2000-01 […]
YouTube Gold: Appalachian State Shocks The World
The Big Ten has been a football powerhouse for more than a century, and the main driving forces of that dominance have almost always been Ohio State and Michigan. Michigan Stadium, generally known as the Big House, seats 107,601, but they can squeeze in 115,000 on a big day when the fire Marshall’s not looking. […]
Being In A Power Conference Doesn’t Solve All Your Problems
On Monday, UCLA fired AD Martin Jarmond, apparently because the program is a financial disaster. The athletic department has lost a ton of money. In 2025, UCLA had a $21.5 million deficit; in 2024, it was an eye-watering $51.9 million. Over the last five years, the athletic department has racked up over $200 million in […]

YouTube Gold: Coach K’s Introductory Press Conference
In 1980, Duke was in the market for a new coach. Bill Foster was unhappy, and for some reason, thought that South Carolina was a solid move. It wasn’t: South Carolina had left the ACC on June 31, 1971 and was still an independent, a disastrous decision made by then-AD Paul Dietzel and basketball coach […]

Duke Athletics Gets A New Partner
Duke announced a new partnership Monday with financial services company Edward Jones. The company will help Duke athletes understand their financial situation, which is a big deal. It’s pretty unusual for teenagers or young adults to suddenly become rich, and teaching them how to handle that is smart and responsible. As part of the deal, […]
The Mark Mitchell Saga Takes A Startling Turn
When Kentucky’s Mark Pope kept a roster spot open, anticipating the possibility of a late-roster addition with all the lawsuits and whatnot, he probably didn’t anticipate what Kentucky just went through with former Blue Devil Mark Mitchell. After committing to Kentucky on March 22, Mitchell seemed to be the exact answer to what the Wildcats […]
Twitter Gold: No Passing Fancy
People who never saw great athletes play frequently can’t believe the claims about them. We’ve seen this recently with some who doubt that Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single NBA game, apparently because there’s no video. In 1962, though, not only was the NBA not on TV a lot, TV cameras looked like […]
Cooper Flagg Makes An Interesting Move
Cooper Flagg will take his first step into entrepreneurship with the planned opening of a card shop back home in Maine. Flagg will open his shop at 35 Main Street in Bangor, Maine on September 12. He’s going to partner with his cousin, and the store will buy and sell sports, Pokemon, and One Piece […]

YouTube Gold: Duke-Indiana, 1992 Final Four
In 1992, Duke was the defending national champions. The 1991 Final Four opened with an emotional rematch with UNLV after being blown out by the Runnin’ Rebels in the 1990 championship game. Duke then beat Kansas. The 1992 season was different. Led by Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, and Bobby Hurley, Duke was a brilliant team. […]
Duke Recruiting: A Family Affair?
Some of you will remember Stan Brunson, who was a solid walk-on for Duke in the early 1990s who eventually earned a scholarship. He also played soccer while at Duke. Like most walk-ons, he was greatly appreciated by the fans, and after his playing days were over, he returned to Durham and got his MBA […]
