DBR Podcast #819 – Farewell To Cameron Boozer, One Of The All-Time Greats
t is with sadness but also great pride that the Duke Basketball Roundup says goodbye to Cameron Boozer’s career as a Blue Devil. Jason and Donald talk about the memories they have of one of the best to even put on the uniform. They go through some of the stats and the amazing games that made […]
Former Blue Devils Christian Reeves Has A New Team
Well here’s something we missed: former Blue Devil Christian Reeves left Duke for Clemson after his sophomore season, then moved on to Charleston. And now he has a new school: Kansas. That’s right, Reeves, will be a Jayhawk. He didn’t get much time at Duke, nor at Clemson, but did reasonably well at Charleston, where […]

YouTube Gold: Leonard vs. Hagler
Boxing is not what it once was, but for much of the 20th century, it was a huge draw. Fighters from Joe Louis, to Rocky Marciano, then later, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman, came across as warriors in the ring. Ali was widely acknowledged as the greatest, including by himself, and his fights […]
Saturday’s Brotherhood Playoff News & Links
What’s a night of playoff basketball without the Brotherhood? It doesn’t happen very often, and it didn’t happen Friday night. Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 108-100. Luke Kennard helped JJ Redick’s Los Angeles Lakers beat the Houston Rockets, 112-108. Finally, Mason Plumlee and the San Antonio Spurs knocked off the […]
Is Losing Henri Veesaar A Big Deal For UNC Basketball? Maybe. Maybe Not.
Given the nature of the rivalry Duke fans naturally keep an eye on the other end of 15-501, and of course, that’s true for UNC as well. There was a big development in Chapel Hill Saturday, as center Henri Veesaar decided to remain in the NBA Draft rather than return to Chapel Hill. Is it […]
The Brilliance Of Arvydas Sabonis
When the best big men in basketball history are discussed, people always say the same basic names: Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Bill Walton. Arvydas Sabonis always gets overlooked. There are valid reasons for that. First, a Lithuanian by birth, he grew up a Soviet […]
Booz News – Cameron Declares For The NBA Draft
There was never much doubt about the decision, but as Friday’s deadline drew closer, it was easy to think, well…maybe? Well…no. Cameron Boozer will be entering June’s NBA Draft, and rightly so. It’s hard to think of anyone, ever, who had a better freshman year. Patrick Ewing had a more dominant freshman year at Georgetown, […]
DBR Podcast #818 – Sensational Sarr News!
The hits just keep on coming for the Duke Blue Devils in the off-season. Dame Sarr has announced he will not enter the NBA Draft and is coming back to Durham for what could be a sensational sophomore season. Duke Basketball Roundup co-hosts Jason and Donald have a fun time looking ahead to what appears […]
Dame Decision Is In!
Great news for Duke Basketball and Jon Scheyer as Dame Sarr will be back next season. A dynamic defender and solid three-point shooter, Sarr should improve substantially next year. And keep in mind that the Blue Devils can now pair him with Bryson Howard and put a pair of tall pit bulls on the perimeter. […]
A Good Take On Jon Scheyer’s Time At Duke
Over at CBSSports.com, Gary Parrish has one of the more rational takes on Duke under Jon Scheyer than we’ve seen in a while. Here’s part of what he said: “The problem, of course, with consistently assembling rosters that on paper seem good enough to win the whole thing is that it becomes a criticism directed […]
Thursday’s Brotherhood Playoff News & Links
In Wednesday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, Quin Snyder’s Atlanta Hawks went up 2-1 on the New York Knicks with a 109-108 thriller. RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram helped the Toronto Raptors to a 126-104 blowout over Tyrese Proctor and the Cleveland Cavaliers. And finally, the Minnesota Timberwolves took out Tyus Jones and the Denver Nuggets, 113-96. […]
YouTube Gold: The Fire Of John Chaney
We’ve talked before about how thoroughly Billy King dominated Temple’s Mark Macon in the 1988 Elite Eight. Macon, in case you didn’t know, was being sold as the next Magic Johnson. And in fairness, Macon had a phenomenal freshman season that ended with King just crushing him. But that’s not what we’re talking about here […]
Having Your Cake And Eating It Too
Keeping Duke fans happy in May might be the hardest part of Jon Scheyer’s job. Until the Blue Devils hang their next National Championship banner, every fan will have their own perspective on how best to build the next year’s team to accomplish that goal. In the era of social media, many of those fans […]
Who Got The Portal Right? Who Whiffed?
As the portal settles out, there are some notable winners and losers. Well, at least as far as we can tell in April. Things may look far different a few weeks from now, let alone by next February. For now, though, there are some apparent positives and negatives. Let’s take a look. Winner: Louisville. Pat […]

With just three points, Wendell Carter didn’t have a great game, though his rivalry with Jalen […]
Twitter Gold: Showtime Slim Torches Auburn
On Wednesday, Isaiah Evans announced that he would enter the 2026 NBA Draft, and through the course of the day, it sort of became clear that things are a little bit different now for Duke Basketball. This is not a knock on anyone, but see if this rings true to you: Duke fans feel more […]
Isaiah Evans Makes The Call
Isaiah Evans has made his decision about next year and will be entering the 2026 NBA Draft. It’s not clear yet though whether he’s 100% committed to the draft. Currently, NBADraft.net has him pegged as a #14 pick to the Charlotte Hornets. For a kid from North Carolina, that’s pretty awesome, but the draft picks […]
DBR Bites #163: CFos Returns!
Caleb Foster returns! The Duke point guard has announced that he will return for his senior season, and we hop on very quickly on DBR Bites #163 to discuss it! Pressure? What pressure? Competition? Bring it. Foster’s announcement just a few minutes before Donald and Jason hopped on to talk about it is telling us […]
Caleb Foster Makes His Decision For Next Year
Duke got some great news on Wednesday as Caleb Foster announced that he’s returning for his senior season. A 6-5 guard, Foster has shown a lot of grit and also a keen appreciation for being a Blue Devil. In this era of rapid turnover, he’s going to be a fan favorite. Well, he has been […]
Some ACC Portal Notes
The transfer portal officially closed at 11:59 on Tuesday night, and we’ll look at some of what’s happened, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind: first, as we understand it, coaches have 48 hours to enter names into the portal, so it’s possible there will be some late entries over the […]
What Does Duke Get With John Blackwell?
John Blackwell chose Duke on Tuesday afternoon, and that adds a very interesting piece to Duke’s basketball team. So what kind of player is he? Well, he’s 6-4, reasonably but not freakishly athletic, and he plays with immense confidence. He developed steadily at Wisconsin and this year emerged as a major factor in Big Ten […]

Twitter Gold: Jon Scheyer Gives A Shooting Demonstration
At one point in his long career, Mike Krzyzewski had to make a hire, and he thought it would be a good idea to bring in an older coach. And then he realized that he was the older coach. Jon Scheyer is decidedly on the other end of that. Still just 38 – he won’t […]
DBR Podcast # #817 – Blackwell BOOM!! Seabass Stays!!
The Duke Blue Devils have reeled in what may be the most significant transfer in the program’s history.
