The Duke Blue Devils were able to win on the football field over the weekend, but on Episode 646 of the Duke Basketball Roundup, we know we need to get better.

Duke was able to beat the UConn Huskies 26-21, the 3rd straight week that Duke scored 26 points. There were definitely some guys who had standout performances, but Donald and Jason know that improvement is a must as the calendar continues to move. We break down some of the things that need to improve as the Blue Devils turn their attention to this Saturday’s game against Middle Tennessee.

After the break, AJ Griffin is reportedly considering stepping away from the game of basketball. We don’t know anything official yet, but we offer some encouraging words to the beloved member of The Brotherhood, no matter what he ultimately decides to do. Finally, we salute an absolute legend in the Duke community, as we discuss the passing of Dean Gerald Wilson. He served as an advisor and mentor to thousands of students over his 60 years, including Donald and Jason. They both reflect on his life of service to Duke and how he personally shaped their lives. He will be immeasurably missed.
