Duke Blue Devils open the season with a flawless 5-0 record under head coach Jon Scheyer, igniting speculation—can this squad surpass last year’s run? Freshman sensation Cameron Boozer dominates early, averaging an impressive 21.6 points and 10.4 rebounds, while Isaiah Evans emerges as a dynamic second option. Major wins over Kansas and Texas put Duke’s resume in the national conversation, and KenPom analytics still project the Blue Devils as the top team to beat. JJ Jackson and Raul Clement break down what’s fueling Duke’s offensive and defensive efficiency, the emergence of key role players like Dame Sarr, Pat Ngongba, and Darren Harris, plus which combinations are proving most reliable in crunch time. The episode also covers NBA updates for former Duke stars, a look ahead to matchups against Niagara and Howard, and a nostalgic nod to Greg Paulus’s return to Cameron as a coach. Can Duke sustain this momentum into ACC play?
