Duke Tops Virginia 74-70 For 2nd Straight ACC Championship
Duke wasn’t supposed to do this. Not down two starters. Not with just seven players. Wasn’t supposed to happen. But it did. Duke knocked off Virginia in a taut, 74-70 win that took everything the depleted Blue Devils had. We’ve said all year that this team has a winners’ mentality, and we really saw that […]
Ngongba And Foster Injury Updates
Duke is missing two starters, as you probably know, and there’s some positive news about at least one of them. Jon Scheyer told Brendan Marks of the Athletic that “Pat is working his butt off every day. He took another really good step with our medical team today, so he’s trending in a great direction […]
Next Up – Virginia For The ACC Championship
Date 3/14 || Time 8:30 || Venue Spectrum Center || Video ESPN Duke and Virginia, the top two teams in the ACC regular season, will meet for the ACC Championship on Saturday in Charlotte. Duke got there after surviving Florida State, 80-79, and then hammering Clemson on Friday night, 71-63. Virginia defeated NC State on […]
ACC Tournament Roundup – Duke Will Face UVA For The Championship

Onyenso blocked 4 shots here after getting 8 […]

YouTube Gold: Arizona Wins With A Thrilling Buzzer Beater
It’s March, it has been for two weeks now, but it’s not officially March for hoop heads until the buzzer beaters start rolling in. And it’ll be hard to beat Arizona’s game-winner against Iowa State. Both teams were brilliant down the stretch, trading baskets, with each unable to stop the other. Iowa State tied the […]
DBR Podcast #807 – Crushing Clemson On The Way To The ACC Title Game
All the angst and worry that permeated the Duke fandom 24 hours ago melted away on this night as Duke bounced back from a subpar effort against FSU to produce a good old fashioned beatdown of Clemson. The Duke Basketball Roundup gives you all the details from a contest that really wasn’t all that competitive […]
Duke Rolls By Clemson, 73-61
Clemson kept up with Duke for the first 13 minutes or so and was down just 19-18. And then the bomb hit: Duke ripped off a 21-4 run to take a 41-22 halftime lead, en route to a 73-61 victory. But that’s misleading, because Duke totally controlled this game. In the first half, the Blue […]
Capel Stays At Pitt
On Friday, Pitt announced former Duke guard and assistant coach Jeff Capel would be back for a ninth season. The general sense was that he was finished, so we’re glad he got another shot. Capel is a good coach, but like a lot of other coaches, it takes some effort to adjust to the new […]
Next Up – Clemson
When the ACC Tournament bracket was finalized, many people probably assumed that we’d see Duke-UNC III on Friday. Well, Clemson had something to say about that. The Tigers pulled ahead, 25-22 with 7:27 to play in the first half, and never looked back – until UNC rallied late. Clemson was up 69-54 with 5:07 to […]

ACC Tournament Roundup – A Great Semifinals Set For Friday
In Thursday’s ACC Tournament Action, Virginia got by NC State, 81-74, Miami survived Louisville, 78-73, and Clemson held on to beat UNC, 80-79. Clemson was cruising in this one before UNC outscored the Tigers 25-11 over the last 4:55, including 5 threes. What we saw from UNC here is what we have talked about previously: […]
YouTube Gold: Duke-Florida State Highlights
Duke’s win over Florida State was less than perfect. Caleb Foster and Pat Ngongba were both out with foot injuries. Cayden Boozer picked up four fouls. Maliq Brown picked up four fouls. The Seminoles, arguably the hottest team in the ACC over the last several weeks, shot 39% from outside and 52% overall. Duke finished […]
DBR Podcast #806 – Slim Saves Duke’s ACC Dream
A little too close for comfort, but Duke demonstrates “survive and advance” is what really matters in March as they take down the stubborn FSU Seminoles 80-79. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down what was a very unusual game for the Blue Devils. This was not the Duke team we have been watching lately as […]
Duke Survives A Tough Game From Florida State, 80-79
Well, that was bracing, wasn’t it? Missing 40% of its starting lineup without Patrick Ngongba and Caleb Foster, both sidelined with foot injuries, Duke took down Florida State, arguably the hottest team in the ACC, 80-79, when Robert McCray missed a three-point attempt at the buzzer. As expected, it was a tough game. Duke has […]
The Awards Start Rolling In For Cam Boozer
It seems a bit anti-climactic, but Cameron Boozer was selected as National Player of the Year by The Sporting News. It’s the first, but it won’t be the last. Boozer averaged 22.7 points and 10.2 boards, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals over 31 games. More than that, he’s been as consistent as anyone we’ve seen […]
Next Up – Florida State
Duke opens ACC Tournament play against Florida State Thursday, and if you’ve been reading here, you know we think highly of Luke Loucks’ coaching job this season. Honestly? It’s been masterful. Loucks is not in the situation Duke is in. He is not able to get a steady stream of 5-star recruits. Instead, Loucks has […]

ACC Roundup – Wednesday’s Tournament News
No big surprises on Wednesday as Louisville put SMU 62-58 down after a bit of a struggle, NC State sent Pitt home, 98-88, Florida State manhandled Cal, 95-89 (it wasn’t remotely that close), and Clemson most likely ended Wake Forest’s season, 71-62. Ryan Conwell scored 5 points in the last 1:17 to help the Cards […]
YouTube Gold: Highlights From Duke’s 1978 ACC Championship Win
Going into the 1977-78 basketball season, Duke had won four ACC Tournaments, all in the 1960’s, when only one conference team got to advance to the NCAA Tournament. The ACC was unique at the time because no other major conference had a tournament to decide its champion, and either you won it or if you […]
Bobby Hurley Out At Arizona State
Everyone understood that Bobby Hurley was playing out the string at Arizona State, and that he would be let go after Arizona State lost its last game. And ASU lost to Iowa State in the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday, and at 91-42, it was an historically bad loss. So Hurley was let go, and […]
Building Duke’s Perfect Bracket
Inside the Duke locker room, there’s only one goal this week: cement the program’s conference dominance with an ACC Tournament title to accompany its outright regular season championship. Blue Devil fans, however, will be inundated with the glut of basketball games making up “Champ Week” outside of the ACC Tournament. While Duke’s status as a […]

ACC Roundup – Day 1 Was Surprisingly Good
Since the ACC Tournament expanded, Day 1 has frequently been a watered-down joke. Well, not this year, as two out of three games were really good. Pitt nipped Stanford at the buzzer, 64-63, and Wake Forest got Virginia Tech in overtime, 95-89. In the only easy game, SMU didn’t have much trouble with Syracuse, winning […]
