We’re back with Episode 775 where we begin with our preview of the Florida Gators and NO WE DON’T! DUKE’S IN THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!

All plans to start with the Florida preview were thrown out the window the second a SMU kicker sent his potential game-tying field goal yards right of the uprights, sending Duke to its second ever ACC title game. We have to lead with the events that led up to that moment and how Duke took out Wake Forest to set up this possibility. This weekend will be a championship weekend (Women’s Soccer in the College Cup, Duke Football in the ACCCG) with a Duke-Sparty matchup, and we will preview that in full later this week.

More immediately ahead of us is the ACC-SEC Challenge matchup with the defending national champions, who come into Cameron on the struggle bus, but are still a strong opponent. We get into how they’ve done, what the metrics say about them and what we’ve seen from their players. We then get into the things to watch as that game takes place on Tuesday (and the team is calling for a Blackout!). We also get into some of the other ACC-SEC Challenge matchups and our hopes for the ACC.

The Duke Basketball Roundup is breathing a huge sigh of relief after the Blue Devils took down a spirited and extremely talented Arkansas club in a Thanksgiving night matchup that was non-stop thrills. As Jason and Donald tell us, this was more than just the Cameron Boozer show as Duke's Player of the Year candidate got help from unexpected places like Caleb Foster and Nik Khamenia. The back and forth contest also showed that perhaps one thing that separates this Duke club from last year's stellar bunch is the ability to close out games in the clutch.

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. And…dare I say the ACC Championship Game hopes are not dead just yet!

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.

It is a weekend to celebrate connections at Duke as Kenny Blakeney and Greg Paulus come home... and they bring their basketball teams with them.

Oh, and the two teams will play each other in Cameron on Saturday, which should also be a ton of fun.

The Duke Basketball Roundup has a preview of what to expect from these contests, the players to watch out for and the things Howard and Niagara do that could present challenges to Duke. Have a listen as Jason and Donald break it all down.

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.

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.
