Duke Basketball Corner

SFA/Win Reaction + "Is the Sky Falling?" Freeform Thoughts

2019-20, Ep. 9

7-1

It's been a scattered week in Duke basketball, so it makes sense for my most scattered episode in a looooong time. (Fwiw that was the plan). Sometimes you just gotta go with your gut!

GSU & 2KC Reaction + Projecting Duke's Go-To Lineup

2019-20, Ep. 8

6-0

 Topics Include:

• Georgetown Overview

• More insight into two of my choices 

*Clarification: When I mentioned Tre's first PnR around 3:15, I should have made clear it was the first PnR in single coverage. As a whole, he did recieve solid (not optimal, but solid) PnR opportunities, and no matter how they occured, Duke thrived. Before going scoreless on two possessions with under three minutes left, the Blue Devils (directly or indirectly) scored 24 points on 14 possessions in which Tre received PnR at any point, an absurd 1.71 points per possession. Stats can at times be misleading without context, such as Jones getting credit for PnR at 6:25 of the 1st half (while true that Tre did pass out to Vernon, it's much more Carey simply iso-ing from above the break and driving in for a goaltended basket) but eitheir way, the bigger question is why Tre isn't getting even more PnR considering the difference in Duke's overall offensive efficiency with and without it occuring.

Blue Collar Blue Devils? Reacting to Duke's Season-Opening Win Over Kansas

2019-20, Ep. 6

1-0

Duke's big Champion's Classic win over Kansas was eerily similar to the Blue Devils' previous trip to Madison Square Garden, which means plenty of turnovers and an alpha glue guy performance by Jack White! There's lots to talk about, and contrary to what widespread college basketball coverage leads you to believe, it's possible to do so without cliches and hot takes!

*For those personally offended by non-aesthetically pleasing Duke victories, feel free to check out my very heartfelt, very serious letter to Quinn Cook I wrote back in the summer of 2012, and consider it dedicated to you. 😉

Kansas + UNC Beat Reporter Intel (With CJ Moore & Brant Wilkerson-New)

2019-20, Ep. 5

I very rarely do any sort of game or opponent previews, but considering seasoning-openers are more roster breakdowns rather than actual previews unless both teams are experienced, I hit up CJ Moore to chat about the upcoming Duke-Kansas Champion's Classic matchup, followed by Brant Wilkerson-New for UNC talk (because if there’s one team I figure Duke fans are interested in no matter what, it's UNC despite the fact their first matchup of the year isn’t for three months).

Before the game discussion, I chat with CJ for 20 minutes on various topics such as Duke's 2018 elite 8 loss game that still makes me angrier than any Duke game in my lifetime, as well as Snoop Dogg’s Night at the Fog and why Kansas, similar to Duke, doesn’t play secret scrimmages. If you want to go straight to the current team and game-related topics, skip ahead 20 minutes from the start of the conversation, though I think it’s all very worth it and consider him one of the best beat reporters in the biz.

With Brant, we get straight into the nitty gritty of what the current team looked like in its final scrimmage against Winston Salem State, a roster breakdown, and expectations headed into this season led by Cole Anthony. Spoiler, Roy’s already pretty dadgum angry at the Heels.

Enjoy, it's college basketball season eve!

2019-20 ACC Preview + Pre-CTC Thoughts

(2019-20, Ep. 1)

With CTC (Countdown to Craziness) about to introduce the new Duke team followed by nonstop episodes focusing on the Blue Devils. it seems right to use the first episode of the season to learn about many of their upcoming opponents. Therefore, I'm joined by Joe Gaudio for a 2019-20 ACC Preview, with preseason thoughts, predictions and team/roster breakdowns. We also conclude by discussing various pre-CTC hopes and expectations, but that's understandably a very brief conversation lol.
