Duke Basketball Roundup

23h ago

Ordinarily, 11-1 against this non-conference slate would be a cause for celebration, but the way that 1 loss happened is hitting hard for Duke fans. The Duke Basketball Roundup gives you a deep dive into the 82-81 loss to Texas Tech including words of praise for Duke's bench players and some pretty strong criticism of Duke's shortcomings in the "details" like free-throw shooting and focus. Jason and Donald take a long look at the 17-point blown lead and what it says about the team moving forward. Will this game go down as a confluence of unlikely stuff that won't happen again or is it a sign of some fundamental problems Duke needs to fix? Learn more about your ad choices.

The last power conference test for Duke before we embark on the ACC schedule will be Saturday in MSG and the Duke Basketball Roundup is here to get you ready for the contest with Texas Tech. Jason and Donald have all the details including TTech's shooter who doesn't take 2-point FGs, the unexpectedly close game where they were saved by an unlikely source, and a prediction about how Duke may use a surprising tactic to deal with All-American JT Toppin. But that is not all, this edition of DBR Bites also gets into the wild and wacky ACC Football schedule for next season and the guys also make a case for the NBA to come to Cameron.

Well, that was an interesting game. On Episode 780, we recap the Duke win over Lipscomb where the theme was turnovers and sloppy play. Now, there was still some good from this game, and in a 24-point win, we still lead with it. Jon Scheyer became the fastest ACC coach to 100 wins, we saw some good play from our point guards and Darren Harris, and Maliq Brown and Isaiah Evans provided sparks. We then get to the stuff to improve, and it’s clearly the sloppy play and turnovers. Rust was present, but it wasn’t in the shooting where it normally lives. It was in the bad decisions with the basketball and, with credit to Lipscomb’s game plan, rushing every possession and every decision. We discuss the sloppy play and the fouls and everything else before we discuss our play of the game to close things out. Make sure you’re following us!

With the exam break wrapping up, Duke hoops turns its attention to the Lipscomb Bisons out of the Atlantic Sun Conference. Lipscomb is probably the best non-power conference team Duke will face this season and is coming off a year in which they won their league and made the NCAA tourney as a #14 seed. The Duke Basketball Roundup gives you a preview of what you need to know about the Bisons and what to look for from Duke as the team tries to knock off some rust after 10-days off. After the break, the guys dive into some recruiting news -- namely the word that Duke appears to be the leader for elite 5-star PG Deron Rippey, Jr. What would his commitment mean for the 26-27 Blue Devils?

The Duke Blue Devils are on exam break, so the Duke Basketball Roundup figured this would be a good time to take a critical look at where the team is after their first ten games. Jason and Donald bring back frequent guest Jordan Brenner (of ESPN, SI, and Underdogs fame) to answer some questions about how the season is going so far. This is not a session of rah-rah cheerleading about the fact that the team is undefeated, the guys take a hard look at what has worked, what has not, and what Jon Scheyer and the coaching staff are thinking about as they get ready for the rest of the season.

What a Saturday! It was so great, we had to break them up into separate podcasts, which we give to you together! On Episode 777, we discussed Duke Football winning the ACC title over Virginia, and now on Episode 778, we recap Duke Men’s Basketball’s win at the Breslin Center against Michigan State! Scott Rich once again Donald and Jason for the basketball recap as Duke took out Michigan State at the hostile Breslin Center. It was a hard fought, physical game, but Duke was able to move to 10-0 on the season and hold perhaps the best resume and best player in all of college basketball. We talk about all the good from this game along with the things to improve, and of course we discuss the play of the game and our player of the week. It was a special day to be a Blue Devil!

What a Saturday! It was so great, we had to break them up into separate podcasts, which we give to you together! On Episode 777, we discuss Duke Football winning the ACC title over Virginia, its first ACC football title since 1989. Scott Rich joins Donald and Jason for both episodes to make it a ton of fun. First, it’s the football, where Duke overcame all odds and every cynic to avenge a November loss to the Virginia Cavaliers, taking them out in overtime to claim Duke’s first ACC football title since 1989 and first outright title since 1962. It was a phenomenal effort and some great calls during the game to win the title, and we love that this team fought through all it did to emerge as the ACC champions. They may not be in the playoff, but they can’t take that feeling away! Next, you’ll switch to the other episode and get the basketball recap as Duke took out Michigan State at the hostile Breslin Center. It was a hard fought, physical game, but Duke was able to move to 10-0 on the season and hold perhaps the best resume and best player in all of college basketball. We talk about all the good from this game along with the things to improve, and of course we discuss the play of the game and our player of the week. It was a special day to be a Blue Devil! Immediately after you finish this, check out Episode 778 for our recap of Duke Men’s Basketball’s win at the Breslin Center against Michigan State! Make sure you’re following us!
