We return with Episode 773 to recap a great weekend on the basketball court and the football field! Duke Men’s Basketball finished out the weekend with a 93-56 victory over Kenny Blakeney, Nate James, and the Howard Bison. We discuss some of the takeaways from the game, which lived in the 58 paint points Duke had! We discuss some of the things to improve as we look ahead to a big week and hand out Play of the Game and Player of the Week honors. After the break, we shift to the football, as Todd Pelino became the hero in a 32-25 Duke win over UNC. Duke took care of the football and made some great plays, but it was the gutsy fake field goal call late in the game that has us so happy.

In one of the most balanced attacks in recent memory, Duke dismantled the Niagara Purple Eagles of Greg Paulus in the first game of The Brotherhood Run. DBR podcast hosts Jason and Donald were impressed with the defense, the shooting, the depth, and passing and just about everything else Duke put on display in this game. They also enjoyed listening to Jim Boeheim, who was in full comedian mode much of the game. The latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup also dives into other ACC action from Friday, including 4 important matchups in which the ACC went an impressive 4-0. There is little question the ACC is significantly better and deeper than it was last year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have a listen as Jason and Donald break it all down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We’re back with Episode 771 to recap Duke’s big win against Kansas in the Champions Classic! Jason and Donald are still happy after a Duke performance that took out the Jayhawks in a big game at Madison Square Garden. They start with the headlines from the game and get into all of the good things they saw on both offense and defense, including some gritty, determined play that got Duke into the lead and allowed them to control the second half. They highlight performances from Cam and Cayden Boozer, Pat Ngongba and Isaiah Evans. In a big time game under the bright lights, they performed bright. We also discuss the things to work on, from the early start to some of the details, like free throws. All in all, it was another test passed for the Blue Devils as they get ready for the Brotherhood Run. Make sure you’re following us!

Duke has a big game on Tuesday in Madison Square Garden. The Duke Basketball Roundup is here with a preview of everything you need to know about the Kansas Jayhawks, including the uncertain status of their star freshman Darryn Peterson. The Jayhawks are a different team without Peterson and it robs all of us of a huge matchup with Cameron Boozer... but Kansas is still dangerous and Duke will need to bring focus to a big time, national TV matchup. After the break, Jason and Donald dive into the end (probably) of Duke's ACC championship football dream. They discuss what went wrong in that dispiriting loss to Virginia.

Whew... what can you say about Cameron Boozer's big game? The Duke Basketball Roundup is almost at a loss for words to describe the stat-stuffing outburst from the star freshman. And there was much more to enjoy in this game beyond just the big performance by Cam. Duke showcased defensive disruption that will give migraines to opposing offenses. After the break, Jason and Donald dive into Cam Williams, yet another 5-star high schooler who has decided to come to Durham next year. They also discuss Kon Knueppel's homecoming and the wild women's game against West Virginia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It is going to be a big Friday for the Duke Blue Devils. First and foremost, there is a game against Indiana State. The Sycamores may not be a power conference team, but this is a step up from the past couple games against lower tier D1 programs. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down how Indiana State plays and who their dangerous players are in this contest. Plus, Friday will also bring some big recruiting news as the best PF in high school, 6-11 defensive whiz Cameron Williams will announce where he will play basketball next year. Duke, Arizona, and Texas are his finalists. The DBR lets you know what to expect from a kid who looks like a special talent. Finally, after the break the podcast gang looks ahead to Saturday's football contest against Virginia. This is a monster game that likely goes a long way toward determining who will make the ACC Championship game. Duke's path to glory is right there... and it begins with a victory over UVA.

The Duke Blue Devils went to West Point on Veterans Day and blasted Army by a 114-59 score. Jason and Donald recap the win on Episode 768. Duke got the shooting going and the defense was suffocating. But it was also a historic night at West Point as a record crowd witnessed the game, and both teams put on a show in the first half. We go through the headlines and all the good from this game, from Dame Sarr to Darren Harris to Cayden Boozer, and more! We also look at the things to improve from this game, and in a game where Duke puts up 114 points and wins by 55 points, there will be some nitpicking. But, as this team moves forward, this was a huge confidence boost. Make sure you’re following us!
