Duke Basketball Corner (2018-19, Ep. 6)

Pre-ACC Season State of Duke Pod (With Ray Holloman)

*No guarantees, but the plan/hope/goal for the rest of the season is a weekly pod. Each episode will be shorter but more direct, concise and game-related.

It's been a minute (specially since immediately after Maui), but the Duke Basketball Corner pod is back with a marathon episode evaluating Duke's nonconference season, what we feel will translate moving foward, and what needs to improve. There's a ton of focus put on the difference between Duke in transition compared to halfcourt, and the way an impressive defensive raises their potential March ceiling.

There's also Coach K nonconference trivia, rollerskating talk, Ray's NYE birthday being responsible for a Duke loss two years ago, New Year's player resolutions, Back in Ray's Day, completely uncalled for Mike Buckmire slander, and more!

Duke Basketball Corner

(2018-19, Ep. 5)

 Post-Maui Thoughts

So I re-watched all the Maui games, poured over all the stats, and have settled on two solid conclusions about the 2018-19 Duke team at this point:

1. ***SHRUG*** aka jumping to conclusions/extremes is nuts. Duke is definitely talented, but outside of that, the narratives have become...a bit much.

2. The most fun part about of this team is the unknown!

Duke Basketball Corner

Pre-Maui Thoughts

(2018-19, Ep. 4)

No set order of topics for this episode, just a solid 20-minute overview of what stood out from Duke's first three games on offense, defense, and individually along with what to expect/hope for at the Maui Invitational.

I'm not sure why the audio on the Duke season preview pods had issues considering nothing similar had occured while releasing countless pods during the last few years, but I was extremely frustrated at the finished product.

Product quality and trust is infinitely more important to me than how many people had already clicked, so I deleted the previous versions and have uploaded new, edited episodes. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it will hopefully make for a more enjoyable listening experience now and in the future.

Thank You
