ACC Roundup – NC State Blows Out UNC, Miami Wins Another Close One
In Tuesday’s ACC Action, SMU surprised Louisville 95-85, Florida State came back to beat Boston College 80-72, Miami just barely got by Virginia Tech 67-66, and NC State ripped UNC apart, 82-55. This was NC State’s biggest win over the Heels since 1962, when the program was recovering from the scandals of the Frank McGuire […]
Twitter Gold: Giannis Compliments Knueppel
In last summer’s NBA Draft, Cooper Flagg went first to Dallas, Rutgers’ Dylan Harper second to San Antonio, Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe third to Philly and Flagg’s Duke teammate Kon Knueppel fourth to Charlotte. In retrospect, San Antonio might have made a mistake. He would have been a great fit with Victor Wembanyama and more importantly, […]
DBR Podcast #799: Duke Feasts On Syracuse, Orange Crushes For Dessert
That was a fun game! Duke destroys Syracuse on Monday night, and we recap the victory on Episode 799. Duke was able to turn stellar defense into incredible offense, and Jason was in the building for it all. He and Donald take us through all the good things from last night’s victory, and we even […]
ACC Roundup – All Eyes On Raleigh
In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Boston College is at Florida State, Louisville sees SMU, Virginia Tech goes to Miami and UNC takes the short drive over to Raleigh to see about Will Wade’s NC State Wolfpack. It’s a big game for both teams. UNC is without its best player, Caleb Wilson, and was missing Henri Veesaar […]
YouTube Gold: Gary Payton’s Finest
Gary Payton built a Hall of Fame NBA career from 1990-2007. A 6-4 native of Oakland, California, Payton went to Oregon State, where he built a tremendous reputation as a defender and all-around point guard. He was the second pick in the 1990 draft, taken by Seattle behind Derrick Coleman and ahead of Chris Jackson, […]
Duke Lays Waste To Syracuse, 101-64
Syracuse kept up with Duke for about the first 11 1/2 minutes but after that it was all Duke in a 101-64 blowout. For the first few minutes, Syracuse did play well and to their credit they competed hard throughout. But Duke was just much, much better in this one. How much better? Cameron Boozer […]
Next Up – Syracuse
Next up for Duke is a Monday visit from the Syracuse Orange. The Blue Devils get a Saturday-Monday turnaround which is actually useful since it simulates the NCAA tournament structure where you (hopefully) play a second time with one day’s rest (in fairness, so does the Orange, and they have to fly, too). At 15-11 […]
What If The Big 12’s Big Experiment Goes Wrong?
If you haven’t heard, the Big 12 is going to do something really interesting: the conference have an LED court for its basketball tournament. Here’s a video that shows some of its potential and here’s one from the NBA. It looks like a blast in a lot of ways…but we have questions. The first one […]
YouTube Gold: Duke-UNC In the 1979 Big Four
Before Mike Krzyzewski got to Duke in 1980, we had the relatively brief Bill Foster era. Foster was more of a builder than a sustainer. He did a nice job at Rutgers, then again at Utah, before moving to Duke. He found some underappreciated talent in Jim Spanarkel, then Mike Gminski when he was college-eligible […]
DBR Bites #144: How To Squeeze The Orange
The Syracuse Orange come to town on Monday night, and Duke has to do a quick turnaround to face them. We preview the upcoming game on DBR Bites #144. The Orange have some good players to look out for, but they haven’t been able to find the consistency as a team. We go through who […]
Duke Shoots Down UNC In Cameron, 72-68
Nothing would have been finer for Carolina than to have broken Duke’s winning streak Sunday in Cameron, but that didn’t happen as the Blue Devils beat the Tar Heels 72-68 to push the streak to 16. Not that it was easy. UNC had a 33-28 first-half lead with 3:13 to play when the Blue Devils […]
DBR Podcast #798: Duke Clears Out Clemson
The Duke Blue Devils took out the Clemson Tigers by a 67-54 score on Saturday afternoon in Cameron. Donald and Jason break down the big win on Episode 798. Jason was in the building and tells us some cool things he learned about the game before it happened! And then, we get into the recap. […]
It’s Not About You, Ken
Ken Jeong has understandably become a beloved figure among Duke Basketball fans. He’s one of us. He grew up in Greensboro and went to Duke. He did go to medical school in Chapel Hill, but nobody’s perfect. After his acting career took off with the Hangover movies, Jeong made his love of Duke Basketball more […]
ACC Roundup – UNC Shines, NC State Stuff Returns
In Saturday’s ACC Action, Notre Dame handled Georgia Tech 89-74, Cal beat up on BC 86-75, FSU pounded Virginia Tech 92-69, Syracuse nipped SMU at the buzzer 79-78, Wake Forest surprised Stanford 68-63, Louisville took care of Baylor 82-71, Virginia got by Ohio State 70-66, UNC thumped Pitt 79-65 and Miami shocked NC State 77-76. […]
YouTube Gold: Jason Williams In Takeover Mode
It would be hard for people who never experienced Jason Williams’ run at Duke to understand just how good he was. He was built like a fire hydrant, short by basketball standards, really strong, and with a low center of gravity. He was also explosive as hell. Take this game against Kentucky in the 2001 […]
Duke Cruises By Clemson, 67-54
Clemson understandably focused on Cameron Boozer, who has had a tremendous freshman year, but his teammates stepped up and put the game out of reach in the second half on the way to a 67-54 win. The #20 Tigers stayed with Duke for the first 12:00 or so before the Blue Devils began to pull […]
As Much As We Admire Cooper Flagg, We Can’t Go Where The Morris Twins Went
We’re as excited about Cooper Flagg as anyone is. He’s having an insane year and he’s doing things that no one reasonably expected him to do this early. He was expected to be an elite defender but his offense has developed far beyond what most people expected. However, when it comes down to the arguments […]
ACC Roundup: NC State-Miami & Caleb Free UNC Are The Highlights
In Saturday’s ACC Action, Georgia Tech flies up to South Bend to take on Notre Dame, Cal is on the Northeast will take on Boston College, Pitt is at UNC, Florida State takes on Virginia Tech in Cassell, SMU plays Syracuse, Stanford meets the Joel as the Cardinal takes on Wake Forest, and Miami gets […]
Twitter Gold: Fly With The Hawk
We’ve talked before about how Connie Hawkins was mistreated by the basketball establishment. He came out of New York City’s Boys High School and accepted a scholarship to Iowa in 1960, only to get caught up in a point shaving scandal that he clearly had no part of. It was based in and around New […]
Next Up – Clemson
Date 2/14 || Time 12:00 Noon || Venue Basketball Paradise || Video ESPN Clemson comes to Cameron Saturday and that’s probably going to be a good one. Clemson is much better than most people expected, but our feeling is that as long as they have Brad Brownell, they’ll be fine. And they certainly have been […]
ACC Roundup – Big News Out Of Chapel Hill
Bad break (no pun intended) for UNC basketball as freshman star Caleb Wilson suffered a fracture in his left hand in Saturday’s loss at Miami. You may have noticed that after a certain point, he had his hand taped, and everyone believed that it was not a big deal. As it turns out, it is, […]
Twitter Gold: Christian Laettner Is (Mostly) Forgiven
For Duke fans, Christian Laettner’s shot against Kentucky – now just called The Shot – is a permanent highlight in program history. When they play it every March during the NCAA tournament, well, we love it. Obviously that’s not the case in Kentucky, where it remains a permanent wound. We constantly see Laettner’s name come […]
DBR Bites #143 – Tigers Come To Town
One of the most interesting, and best coached, teams in the ACC comes to Cameron on Saturday in the Clemson Tigers. The Duke Basketball Roundup crew takes a look ahead at the battle between the ACC’s #1 team and the club that is right on their heels. Head coach Brad Brownell has put together a […]
DBR Podcast #797 – Jordan Brenner Is Back!
The Duke Basketball Roundup once again welcomes former ESPN the Magazine and The Athletic writer/editor Jordan Brenner to the show. The host of The Underdogs podcast has watched Duke for years and knows how to look at the team through an analytical lens. His insight is always on point. As he has several times over […]
ACC Roundup – Hokies Dox The Tigers
In Wednesday’s ACC Action, Syracuse survived Cal in double-overtime 107-100, Stanford got by BC 70-64, Wake Forest took out Georgia Tech 83-67, and Virginia Tech upset Clemson 76-66. Even more impressively, this was a huge road win. This game was nip and tuck for about 18 minutes before the Hokies pushed out in front on […]
