YouTube Gold: Phil Henderson’s Iconic Moment
Back in 1989, Georgetown still carried the aura of Patrick Ewing. Ewing graduated in 1985, but he was so ferocious in his Hoya days that everyone just assumed that Alonzo Mourning could do the same things, and that in particular, he was as ferocious a defender as Ewing had been. It wasn’t a wild thought. […]
Pain Is A Privilege
Duke fans are in pain. To be upset in the NCAA Tournament is always agonizing. An upset loss with the game seemingly in hand hurts all the more. But to be upset in a game that was in your control on a miraculous buzzer beater that required so many things to go wrong in succession—both […]
Thoughts On The UConn Loss
There’s not a whole lot to say about Sunday’s loss to UConn, but we did want to mention a few things. First, we feel terrible for Cayden Boozer. If you’ll remember back when Caleb Foster was hurt, Boozer really stepped up. And it’s more than that, because that guy made winning plays over and over. […]

YouTube Gold: A Look At Bryson Howard
The season ended in the hardest of ways for Duke Sunday, with a bitter loss to UConn, but basketball always rolls on. We don’t know for sure who will be back next season in this new era. Some, like Cameron Boozer, will be in the NBA. Some may opt to transfer, and some will be […]
Black Sunday: Duke Falls To UCLA, 70-58 In The Elite Eight
It wasn’t a great day for Duke Basketball, either on the men’s or women’s side, where Duke fell to UCLA, 70-58. Much like UConn, UCLA came back in the second half after a good first half by the Blue Devils. Duke shot just 23.3% in the second half, and it’s hard to win like that. […]
DBR Podcast #815: Stunned! A Miracle Ends The Season
Pain. Duke’s season ends on a final second miracle 3 pointer to UConn, and unfortunately we have to talk about it. Jason and Donald gather to recap the game that ends the 2025-26 season on Episode 815. The Blue Devils had it all going in the first half. The second half saw them let a […]
UConn Comes Back In The Second Half, Wins 73-72
Duke and UConn once again put on a game for the ages, with the Huskies coming back for a dramatic 73-72 win. People will compare it to Houston’s comeback last year, but it’s not quite the same thing: this time, Duke’s Caleb Foster and Pat Ngongba were playing with serious foot injuries, and Maliq Brown […]
Elite Eight Notes And More
Iowa’s remarkable postseason came to a close Saturday night at the hands of Illinois, but it wasn’t easy. Illinois pulled away relatively late. Iowa proved to be a very tough out, which is down to good coaching. Why? Because Iowa’s talent is nowhere near that of Illinois. Bennett Stirtz has emerged as an NBA prospect, […]

YouTube Gold: Bill Walton’s Greatest Game At UCLA
The late Bill Walton occupies a unique place in basketball history. He ranks with the greatest centers – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Hakeem Olajuwon, among others – but injuries greatly limited his career. But when he was healthy, he was indisputably great. Boston Celtics teammate Robert Parish was speaking to former Celtic […]
DBR Bites #156 – Elite Eight Preview: How To Con UConn
It is two for the price of one today as the Duke Basketball Roundup gives you back-to-back episodes. After the recap of the St. John’s win, the major focus of this episode is looking ahead to Sunday’s Elite Eight opponent, the UConn Huskies. Jason and Donald welcome Scott Rich back to the pod to help […]
DBR Podcast #814: Legend Is Spelled C-A-L-E-B!
The Duke Blue Devils are in the Elite Eight! They win 80-75 over St. John’s sparked in part by a legendary performance from Caleb Foster in his return to the floor 20 days after surgery for a fractured foot. We recap the Sweet 16 win on Episode 814. Jason and Donald reflect on the win […]
Next Up – UConn
After Duke’s remarkable win over St. John’s, the Blue Devils have to suck it up for another major encounter with a Big East team, and it’s UConn, and all the ties that it implies. For one, Duke and UConn have been the dominant programs in college basketball for some time: since 1991 in Duke’s case, […]
Caleb Foster: Duke Legend
Nothing about Caleb Foster’s performance against St. John’s was normal. This would be true even without the circumstances surrounding his return to the Duke lineup. Foster scored Duke’s next seven points after the Blue Devils fell behind 10 points to the Red Storm with 15 minutes to go. He shook off an airballed three that […]
Elite Eight Notes
The Elite Eight is now set: in the West, it’ll be Arizona vs. Purdue. In the Midwest, we’ll get Michigan vs. Tennessee. In the South, Iowa and Illinois will go at it, and in the East, Duke and UConn will fight for supremacy. Duke had a tense game with St. John’s, highlighted by Caleb Foster’s […]

Twitter Gold: What Else Could It Possibly Be?
Well, there’s really not much choice for tonight’s Gold – Ashlon Jackson made sure of that. Duke was in great shape in the fourth quarter against LSU when the Tigers made a tremendous comeback, outscoring Duke 10-0 down the stretch to take an 85-84 lead. Duke took one shot and missed, and then had just […]
Duke Gets A Stunning Last-Second Win Over LSU In The Women’s Sweet 16
If you haven’t seen it yet, stop here and go look at the final play in Duke’s insane 87-85 win over LSU in the women’s Sweet 16. It doesn’t have quite the majesty of Christian Laettner’s legendary buzzer beater against Kentucky, but it’s arguably the best buzzer beater in the women’s game since Charlotte Smith’s […]
Duke Wins A Thriller Over St. John’s, Moves On To Elite Eight
Duke and St. John’s put on a Sweet 16 classic, and while it was a bit ragged in spots, both teams played like champions. Only one could move on though, and it was Duke, as the Blue Devils prevailed, 80-75. And it was anything but easy. Like any Rick Pitino team, St. John’s gets after […]
ACC Coaches: UNC Search Continues, State Got Burned, And BC Found Their Guy
It’s been an interesting few days in the Triangle. First, UNC made a huge break with tradition and fired Hubert Davis, a member of Dean Smith’s family system, and Will Wade bailed on NC State after just a year on the job. Let’s start with State, where fans are livid. Well, with all due respect: […]
Friday’s Sweet 16 Notes

Meanwhile, #1 Arizona throttled #4 Arkansas, 109-88, and #2 Purdue beat #11 Texas, 79-77. They’ll meet in the finals in the West. The early games were […]

You Tube Gold: Knueppel Record Assault Continues
As the NCAA tournament moves towards the Elite Eight and the Final Four in just a few days, some attention is being spent on the NBA Draft. Duke’s Carlos Boozer is racking up a massive haul of awards, and his numbers are historic. Yet we hear constantly that he’s not athletic enough to prosper in […]
Caleb Foster Update: He May Play Friday vs. St. John’s
Last week, Duke got Pat Ngongba back from his foot injury, and now it looks like there’s a reasonable chance – not great, but reasonable chance – that Caleb Foster could play against St. John’s. He’s been on the court in D.C. today, shooting around, and Duke coach Jon Scheyer says it’ll be a game […]
