#665 - Jayhawk Alert! What Duke will face against Kansas

Fresh off that big win at Arizona, Duke faces another major test as the Blue Devils square off against Kansas in Las Vegas. One of the most eagerly anticipated games of "Feast Week" will feature Duke's young stars against a Jayhawk team full of super experienced veterans who know how college basketball is played. It all starts with the man in the middle, Hunter Dickinson, who is probably the best offensive post player in the country. But, as the DBR Podcast gang explains, Kansas has plenty of other weapons on the roster. There is a reason this Kansas club has been ranked #1 in the land since the pre-season. Listen in as Jason and Donald break it all down -- and if you are planning to be in Vegas for the big game, Donald wants to meet you. Listen in (around the 38 minute mark) to hear where Donald is planning his Vegas meet-up with DBR Podcast fans in the hours before the game tips off. Jason and Donald also dive into the Saturday night thriller in Wally Wade as Duke holds off Virginia Tech to win 31-28. It was win #8 on the season for Manny Diaz's crew and featured a huge senior day performance by Eli Pancol as well as Maalik Murphy setting the Duke record for TD passes in a season.

#664 - Duke Flaggstaffs Arizona with Konfident Defense

The Duke Blue Devils got the huge road win last night against the Arizona Wildcats, and we recap everything on Episode 664. Duke went to Tucson to take on Arizona, and thankfully the defense and fight were present the entire night. Donald and Jason start with the headlines and then talk about everything that Duke did to win this game at McKale Memorial. It was a dogfight of a game, and Duke showed that they can withstand it and do what’s necessary to win. It was a frustrating game offensively for large stretches of the night, but the defense led the way and especially the rebounding. Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, Sion James, and Tyrese Proctor are all standouts for very different reasons. After the break, we discuss the things that needed to be better, from free throws to missed layups. It wasn’t a perfect game and it was frustrating game. But, the fight got us across the finish line. We then discuss our play of the game as well as our players of the week. Next up: the Kansas Jayhawks in Las Vegas. Donald will be there! All listeners are invited to come meet up with him at Tom’s Watch Bar inside New York/New York Casino at 3pm PT on Tuesday to say hi and talk some Duke Basketball ahead of the big game.

DBR Bites #70 - ACC Surprises and Disappointments so far

We know, we know... the season is still very young but it is never too early to look at the rest of the ACC and try to see some patterns. So, the Duke Basketball Roundup gang did a deep dive into all the ACC results so far this season and came up with a few teams that have been better than expected and several who seems worse. On the good side we get Pitt, Notre Dame, and Stanford (thanks to the stellar play thus far of none other than Jaylen Blakes). On the bad side, there's Wake Forest, Syracuse, Louisville, and Georgia Tech. Jason and Donald break down what each of these clubs has done so far this season to land then on the naughty or nice list... and the guys point out that all of this really matters to Duke when it comes time to prove that Duke's regular season record was achieved against reasonable competition.

DBR Bites #69 - Arizona Awaits

The Blue Devils face their second big test of the early season on Friday when they face the formidable Arizona Wildcats. Last year it was Arizona stealing a win at Duke and the Blue Devils hope to return the favor as they visit the McKale Center in Tucson, a rare true road game in the non-conference schedule. The Duke Basketball Roundup takes a deep dive into the Wildcats roster and how they have played thus far this year. They have struggled from three point range but play at a really fast pace and may be the best rebounding team in the country. There are some really compelling matrchups on the court, including Tyrese Proctor facing off against the hated former Tarheel Caleb Love. As the DBR gang makes clear, this is a hugely important game for Duke. After dropping a close one to Kentucky, the Devils need to show they can win against the other top teams in college basketball.

#663 - Wofford Housed!

The Duke Blue Devils bounced back in a big way against Wofford on Saturday, and we recap it on Episode 663. Jason joins Donald for a few minutes from Las Vegas on this one, so we welcome Scott Rich back to the show to help Donald sift through all the good that happened in the game. There were some standout performances individually, but the defense was sensational and set some records. After the break, Donald and Scott nitpick with the stuff to work on and they pick their plays of the game and player of the week. It’s a fun recap with so many good things, and then the wait is on for the Arizona game next Friday. Make sure you’re following us!

DBR Bites #68 - We Learn What A Wofford Is

The Duke Blue Devils return to Cameron on Saturday to take on the Wofford Terriers, and we preview the game on DBR Bites #68. Charles Barkley once said famously, “I don’t know what a Wofford is...but I know basketball.” Well, we get to learn who the Wofford Terriers are as we get ready for the Blue Devils to line up against them. This is always that difficult team that gives opponents fits in the NCAA Tournament, so we have to take them seriously. After discussing who Wofford has played and how they’ve done so far, Jason and Donald get into the analytics, focusing on what they do well on offense and defense as well as where they haven’t been great. Hopefully the 3 point shooting is back on Saturday, because Wofford allows a lot of them! We then discuss some of the players who we could see from Wofford, including one that has a personal connection to Jason that will have him perhaps cheering for a couple of Terrier 3s on Saturday. After the break, Duke is headed to Army next year for a Veterans Day road game at West Point, and we think that’s going to be super cool. And, we end with Jared McCain absolutely lighting it up for the Philadelphia 76ers and earning some buzz for Rookie of the Year. Make sure you’re following us!

#662 - What happened? Understanding Duke's loss to Kentucky

Well, that wasn't the ending we all expected. The Blue Devils fumble the ball away down the stretch and drop their first game of the season to Kentucky at the Champions Classic. The DBR Podcast was in State Farm Arena for the big event as Jason was in attendance along with some of his class of '89 friends. He has observations from the site and the podcast also welcomes back Sam Klein to help breakdown what went wrong for Duke in this game. Though it was an L, the podcast gang has a feeling there was a lot learned in this contest that will turn into more Ws in the future. After the break, Donald, Jason, and Sam also get into some videos recently posted online by Kyle Singler that seem to show a guy who is very troubled. Sam, especially, feels a connection here as he knew Kyle when they were classmates at Duke. We are wishing Kyle well and hope he gets what he needs at this difficult time.

DBR Bites #67 - Wildcat Alert! Previewing Kentucky

Ok, enough with the overmatched opponents. The Blue Devils are ready for some real competition. Duke faces Kentucky on Tuesday in the Champion's Classic and any time these two bluest of blue bloods get together you know it will be a game to remember! The Duke Basketball Roundup has a complete preview of the contest including a breakdown of Kentucky's style of play (fast, with a lot of 3s) and which players to keep an eye upon. Jason and Donald are especially interested in the big man matchups -- how Khaman handles Kentucky's hulking center Amari Williams and whether Kentucky PF Andrew Carr has any chance to contain Cooper Flagg. After the break, the guys dive into football team's 29-19 victory over NC State, a win that once again featured stellar defense from Duke. The victory gives Duke a sweep of its Triangle rivals for the first time since 2013 and Jason gives us the odds on how many games Duke will win this year?
