#682 - Building a team and making sense of Miami's season

A flurry of Duke news to cover in this episode of the Duke Basketball Roundup. First on our list is the status of Maliq Brown and how Duke will deal with not having our defensive savant available for a few weeks (we hope not longer than that). Next, Jason and Donald talk about the genius that is Cooper Flagg on offense and how Jon Scheyer constructed what is almost a perfect roster to fit around him. After that, the guys dive into Duke's next opponent, the Miami Hurricanes. Donald is a longtime follower of that team and he breaks down how their season has turned into such a nightmare. Lastly, the podcast crew dives into an idea Coach K is pushing... some kind of partnership between the ACC and the Big East. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#681 - The Answer To Life, The Universe, and Everything: Cooper Flagg

The Duke Blue Devils won their game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish yesterday in a game that got close at the end. However, Cooper Flagg’s record 42 points was the difference, and we recap it all on Episode 681.Cooper Flagg’s 42 points was an ACC freshman record, the most points for Duke in over 35 years, and was incredible to watch. But, Notre Dame made it a test at the end, and Jason and Donald begin by discussing that test that the Blue Devils received. They then get into the headlines and all the good from the game, including Khaman Maluach’s career day. Cooper Flagg’s stat line is nothing short of mesmerizing, and there were other things that Duke did successfully on the afternoon.After the break, we focus on what was not successful for Duke, from our defense late in the game to the bench production. Maliq Brown leaving the game after a minute due to injury is very concerning, and we hope that it’s not too serious. But, Duke got a bit of a pop quiz from the Fighting Irish, and while it wasn’t perfect, they were able to pass it and remain undefeated in the ACC. We of course end with our Play of the Game and our Player of the Week, which should come as no surprise.Make sure you’re following us!

#680 - College hoops journalist Jordan Brenner joins us again

What the DBR Podcast promises, it delivers. A month ago Jason and Donald were joined by journalist Jordan Brenner of The Athletic and DraftKings in a deep dive conversation about the Duke team that was filled with expert insight. And they promised they would bring Jordan back every month to assess what he sees from the team. So, with the calendar going from December to Janaury, it is time to have Jodan back on the Duke Basketball Roundup. Needless to say, he is even more impressed with the way the team is playing now than he was a few weeks ago. The wide-ranging conversation goes from Duke's use of depth to the roles of deep bench guys to expectations for how the season will go during March Madness.

#679 - Cooper Flagg Takes Flight Against Pitt

The Duke Blue Devils won in fun fashion against the Pitt Panthers, and we recap everything on Episode 679!There’s no way we can get into the recap without starting with the Dunk of the Season so far, when Cooper Flagg absolutely caught a body (and the foul) against Pitt center Guillermo Diaz Graham. We get into the rest of the good from the game, most notably the defense. The defense is performing at historic levels, and it’s incredible to watch. It’s fueled how Duke takes these games over and shuts an opponent down.We also deal with the stuff to improve from this game, from the turnovers to Jason and Donald’s ability to make an opponent sound dangerous! There was a lot to discuss from this one, so it’s a longer episode. But, it’s one you’ll want to listen to from start to finish!Make sure you’re following us!

DBR Bites #80 - Poised Duke Preps For Pitt Panthers

The Duke Blue Devils return home tomorrow to take on the Pitt Panthers, and we preview the Quad 1 game on DBR Bites Episode 80.Duke and Pitt both enter with 12-2 records overall and undefeated in the ACC, and this is a strong Pitt team led by a beloved member of The Brotherhood in Jeff Capel. Capel has a team that has quite a bit of continuity, which makes their elevation to one of the best teams in the ACC. They have some length and some toughness, and they have some guys who can put the biscuit in the basket. Donald and Jason go through what Pitt brings to Cameron and how Duke can continue their unbeaten start to the ACC schedule. Before the break, we also do a little word on The Duke Effect and how many people tuned into Duke Basketball in 2024.After the break, we switch to football, where Duke lost to Ole Miss last week in the Gator Bowl. Despite the 52-20 scoreline, there was some things to be proud of from Duke on both sides of the ball. We discuss how Henry Belin IV did throwing the football and how Duke is set up to be a contender for the ACC title next year with their schedule and many of the players coming back, including All-American Chandler Rivers.Make sure you’re following us!

#678 - Duke Rides the Mustangs

A game at upstart SMU was supposed to be one of the biggest challenges left on Duke's schedule and most folks expected a close contest that would likely no be decided until the final minutes. It didn't take long for Duke to dispel that notion. The DBR Podcast crew cannot gush enough about this game where Duke jumped all over SMU and never let up for a second. Tyrese Proctor, Manman, Caleb Foster, and several guys get shout-outs but it is the performance of Cooper Flagg that really stands out as he impacts every aspect of the contest on both ends of the floor. A word of warning -- be careful as you listen or you might get caught up in a wee bit of irrational exuberance... the guys even calculate Duke's chances of winning out the rest of the regular season.

DBR Bites #79 - Big Game at SMU

Having, hopefully, knocked the holiday rust off against Virginia Tech, the Blue Devils hit the road to Dallas for a big matchup with the SMU Mustangs. SMU may be new to the ACC, but they are looking to make a real splash in hoops the same way they did in football. And step one in that process would be a victory over Duke. The DBR Podcast gets things started by talking about how important this game will be for Duke's quest for a top tournament seed. This is a Quad 1 game and there just aren't many of those left on Duke's schedule, so the Devils need to take advantage of a chance to impress with a road win. Jason and Donald talk about what SMU does well (elite offense) and the matchups Duke will need to take advantage of to get a victory (wait until you hear about SMU's freshman big man). If you want to know what to expect on Saturday, this episode is the place to find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
