Duke Basketball Roundup

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!

Duke crushed Carolina on Saturday... no, not that Carolina, the Western variety. The Blue Devil defense overwhelmed the Catamounts, holding them scoreless for 7 minutes early in the first half to make it an easy afternoon of hoops watching for Duke fans. The Boozer brothers, both of them, were the stars of this one and the Duke Basketball Roundup podcast has a breakdown of all the things they did to help Duke to a convincing victory. Also on this episode, the podcast dudes talk about a tough loss for the football team at UConn. It was an exciting, back-and-forth game that wasn't decided until the final seconds. Perhaps more importantly for Duke football, a couple other top ACC teams lost on Saturday meaning the the door to the ACC championship game is wide open for the football Blue Devils. Just win baby and it will all happen! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Whether you know what a Catamount is or not, you always need to respect your opponent. That's why the Duke Basketball Roundup takes time before every single Duke basketball game to preview the team coming up next on the calendar. But, before Jason and Donald get to their lookahead at Western Carolina, they welcome longtime basketball writer and host of The Underdogs Podcast, Jordan Brenner to the show. You may recall a year ago that Jordan made regular appearances on the DBR Pod to talk about how he saw Duke progressing and growing. Once again this year he will come on the pod every now and then to provide expert commentary on the growth of Jon Scheyer's latest team. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Duke Blue Devils were able to surge in the second half to defeat the Texas Longhorns in the Dick Vitale Invitational, and we recap the first game of the season on Episode 765. Donald and Jason begin with the headlines from a game that was a tale of two halves in many respects. We then get into the good stuff, from the team defense to Cam Boozer’s second half to Isaiah Evans hitting a bushel of 3s to keep Duke moving forward. We love some of the things we saw and the fight we showed in once again overcoming a slower start. We then get into the things to improve, and there were plenty from the first official game of the season. The team will certainly look to get better as they dive head on into the season, with Western Carolina the next test this weekend. Make sure you’re following us!

The Duke Basketball Roundup dives into one of the most thrilling college football games of the year as Duke took down Clemson 46-45. Manny Diaz needs to be nicknamed "stones" for the gutsy calls he made on 4th down and in going for 2 to win the game. Jason and Donald loved it and, because it all worked, he looks like a genius ;) After the break, the "basketball" part of the podcast kicks into high gear as the guys preview Duke's first game of the regular season, a tilt in Charlotte agains the Texas Longhorns. Listen in to hear what Texas brings back from last year's tourney team and what they added via the portal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With the pre-season games done and the first match that counts just a few days away, it is time for the Duke Basketball Roundup's annual season preview via the Stats Game. As we do every year, we bring back former co-host Sam Klein to steer us through this discussion of how various players will do in all kinds of statistical categories. It is a great way of making bold predictions about what kind of season Duke will have. Wait until you hear some of the guesses about Cameron Boozer triple doubles?!?!?!

We’re back with DBR Bites 119 to discuss Jon Scheyer landing his second recruit of the Class of 2026! Maxime Meyer made a surprise announcement this afternoon that he was committing to the Blue Devils, and Donald and Jason quickly discuss the addition of Meyer to next year’s roster. The 7’1” Canadian center has been moving up the ranks quickly, and there’s a lot to like about the upside he possesses. After the break, we touch on the disappointing news of Kyle Singler’s arrest for his alleged role in a dispute with his girlfriend. We’ve sadly had to discuss Kyle Singler’s mental struggles that have continued to persist for most of the year, and this news only adds to the hole that Singler needs to emerge from, and we’re hoping he starts with the help he needs to turn it around. Finally, a note: check your feeds on Friday. The 2025-26 Stats Game will be dropped then as we get ready for the start of the basketball season! Make sure you’re following us!
