Duke Basketball Roundup

Over the years, the Duke Basketball Roundup has frequently invited sports journalist Jordan Brenner to join us for expert commentary and analysis. On the latest edition of the podcast, Jordan joins us to announce something new. He is going to be the editor of a new initiative being launched by the Duke social media team. It is a substack newsletter that will bring insight and analysis from inside the Duke program to all of us. It will include commentary written by players and by members of the staff as well as Jordan's own breakdowns of what is happening with the team. We can't wait to see this unprecedented peek behind the curtain at what makes Duke Basketball truly unique.This edition of the DBR Pod also includes a look ahead to the big matchup with Michigan State on Tuesday. Jason and Donald reveal that, unlike past Spartan teams, this version appears to have more talent on the perimeter and some real questions about what Izzo's team will look like on the inside.Finally, the podcast gang revel in the beatdown that Duke football laid upon NC State as Nate Shepherd boosted his Heisman resume with an historic outing and Andrew Peliccotta provided one of the great highlights of the entire college football season.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/duke-basketball-roundup--7421881/support.Make sure you’re following us and subscribe!

Hoops and Football on tap over the next few days so the DBR Podcast co-hosts take a moment to preview a couple important contests.Up first is the Cameron clash with Coastal Carolina (try saying that five times fast). Led by former Wake Forest star Justin Gray, Coastal likely presents more of a challenge than Army, but also is likely to face a Duke team that has been wrung through the ringer by an angry Jon Scheyer over the past couple days. Jason and Donald strongly suspect we will see a better game out of John Blackwell this time.Next up for the football devils is NC State. The Wolfpack fired their coach and promptly had one of the best games of their season last week against Cal. Can they keep that up when Duke comes cross town to Raleigh?And, the pod wraps up with Jason providing some truly stunning numbers about how fast Cameron Boozer is adjusting to the NBA. Wait until you hear the names he is being compared to when it comes to processing speed.

The Duke Blue Devils opened the season with a 84-50 win over Army, and we’re here to talk about it on Episode 868!Duke wasn’t perfect, but a 12-0 kill shot to start the game set the tempo and Duke was able to open the season with a win. We discuss the game, featuring some great headlines and discussing all the good from this game. The defense was the story, and we discuss some individuals who played well. We also get into what we can work on from this game as we turn it around in two more days for a game against Coastal Carolina. Finally, we discuss some fantastic plays that made our Play of the Game. We also quickly discuss a few other games of note that took place on Monday night.Finally, as we get ready for the Gloria Borges WunderGlo Foundation annual gala on November 13th, included in the live auction is a chance to win a 15-minute guest segment on the show with us to discuss a Duke-related topic!

Jason and Donald dive into the opening game of the season for the Duke Blue Devils. Duke plays Army in a rematch from a year ago. Last season, Duke put up 114 points in an absolute beatdown. Will we see the same thing again this year? Regardless of the result, the Duke Basketball Roundup crew says the most important thing to watch will the Jon Scheyer's rotations.After the break, the guys have fun recapping the football contest with Boston College, which featured a record-breaking performance by none other than the Nate Train as well as a shutout by the Duke defense. Could Duke be eyeing another ACC title game? It isn't likely, but isn't impossible either.By the way, the podcast is putting its support behind an important charity effort.

We’re back with a new DBR Bites as some news came up on a Thursday that we had to discuss!First, Brock Davis was a late addition to the Duke Men’s Basketball roster in March, helping the team prepare for games during the ACC and NCAA tournaments. He was added to the roster officially for this season. But in the midst of prepping for our Stats Game, Jason discovered that Brock was no longer with the program. We discuss his decision to put his studies before sports and leave the program to focus on his academics. We commend Brock for putting his studies first.We then get into some schedule news for next season, as Duke is slated to play in the Basketball Hall of Fame Series against Arizona in November 2027. That game will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the home of the Raiders that will be the host of the 2028 Final Four. Once again, Jon Scheyer has accepted all of the smoke and he’s also continuing a couple of trends in playing in Vegas and playing in a city that he hopes the team will return to in April to play for a national title. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/duke-basketball-roundup--7421881/support.Make sure you’re following us and subscribe!

Another one! What Jon Scheyer wants, Jon Scheyer gets... and he wanted Asa Montgomery.

Jason and Donald tell you all about Asa Montgomery's game and how he could impact the Duke team moving forward.After the break, Jason and Donald dive into another big ACC football game as BC travels down from Boston to challenge Nate Sheppard and company in Durham. The Eagles have one of the best rushing QBs in the nation and are a team that seems to be on the rise. This will be a test for Duke as it seeks a 6th win on the season.And, before they go the DBR team dives into the pre-season All-American list. Which Blue Devils are on the list and which star players will Duke be playing against this season?

Duke Men’s Basketball was able to get a victory on the road in world famous Phog Allen Fieldhouse, and Duke Football got the win in Charlottesville over the weekend. We recap both wins on Episode 864!We begin with the basketball, as Duke closed out the preseason with a tough win over the Jayhawks. We’re excited about how the guys were able to battle through the test and get the win, but there are also some lessons to be learned. Big Pat was amazing on the day and we saw the return of Caleb Foster to the floor. We also discuss the fact that the freshmen played like freshmen, but this experience will help them as the season begins in just over a week.We then shift to the football in what was a wild victory over Virginia. Duke overcame several obstacles, including a Walker Eget injury, a missed extra point, and struggles moving the football on offense. But they got the win thanks to Nate Sheppard throwing a TD and then the defense sealing the game with an interception. We discuss all the wildness that leads to Duke moving to 5-2 on the season. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/duke-basketball-roundup--7421881/support.Make sure you’re following us and subscribe!

The Blue Devils venture to perhaps the second best arena in all of college basketball on Sunday with a trip to Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas. The Duke Basketball Roundup has a look at everything you need to know about the Jayhawks, starting with the fact that this is a team built on court injunctions plus a heck of a freshman superstar. If you aren't interested in the matchup between Tyran Stokes and Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, then you are not a basketball fan!After the break, Jason and Donald also look ahead to a huge game for Duke football against Virginia. The Cavs had high hopes coming into the season but things have not gone as they expected. Ten months after they faced each other for the ACC Title, it feels like Duke and Virginia are now in an elimination game... the loser probably has no shot at getting back to the ACC Championship.And, before they go the DBR guys also look at NIL budgets across college basketball. If you don't know what the "Duke Discount" is, then you really need to listen to this conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/duke-basketball-roundup--7421881/support.Make sure you’re following us and subscribe!
