It is with a heavy heart that the Duke Basketball Roundup bids farewell to the 2024-25 Blue Devil team. A stunning 70-67 loss to Houston has all of us in a funk it not outright depressed. A team that seemed fated to cut down the nets on Monday instead finds itself wondering what went wrong in the fateful final few minutes where a sizeable lead evaporated. Jason and Donald try to make sense of all of it. They talk about what happened and what the causes of it may have been; they remind us all that the journey is more than the destination; and they reflect on the many great moments of joy this team brought us. Still it all just feels wrong, it feels unfair. Join the DBR Podcast as they try to process the end of a very special season.

Well, we didn't expect this to happen on the evening of the eve of the Final Four! Kon Knueppel's mother, Chari Nordgaard Knueppel, took a moment away from packing her bags to chat with Jason and Donald about the amazing ride her family is taking as they join Duke at the Final Four in San Antonio. Chari talks about the strong bond that has formed among all the families of the current Duke team and she reveals the one thing Kon 2 asked her to bring him from the family home for this big weekend. After the break, Jason and Donald also briefly get into a couple amazing awards... one for Jon Scheyer and one for a beloved former Dukie.

As "Firehose Week" (because trying to keep up with all the DBR podcast content is like drinking from a firehose) marches on, the Duke Basketball Roundup welcomes back one of our favorite guests of the season, sportswriter Jordan Brenner who is also the host of The Underdogs podcast. Jordan was with the team in Newark last weekend and we get his reflections on what happened there. And, of course, we look ahead to the Final Four to hear from Jordan what it will take for Duke to cut down the nets.

The Duke Basketball Roundup wants you to understand the very challenging foe Duke will face in the Final Four this weekend, so we went to someone who knows the Houston Cougars as well as anyone around. He is Jeremy Branham, the play-by-play announcer for Houston radio and the guy who has been up-close watching Kelvin Sampson teams for almost a decade. Jason and Donald challenge Jeremy to tell us what Houston does well and what the Cougars fear the most from the Blue Devils. This is a nightmare of a Final Four, historically tough with quality everywhere. For Duke, the only way to reach the promised land is to go through the Houston Cougars.

Three years in, Jon Scheyer has a Final Four to his name as Duke dismantled the feared Alabama offense to the tune of 85-65. The final score may have been 20 points, but this was a tense game between two outstanding ballclubs that Duke really broke open late. The Duke Basketball Roundup gives you a quick "vibes" reaction podcast in which Jason and Donald bask in the moment and give their initial impressions of the win. The guys will have a longer, more thoughtful podcast later in the day on Sunday but for now, enjoy the feelings of a trip to San Antonio. Two more wins baby...

The Duke Blue Devils are in the Elite 8 after beating the Arizona Wildcats in the Sweet 16! We recap the victory and prepare for the Alabama Crimson Tide on Episode 711! The Arizona game was a tough game, but Duke was able to get through with some key plays on both offense and defense. Donald and Jason take you through it all, highlighting where Duke succeeded and where they could improve. The referees were a big topic of discussion from this game, and we bring in a college referee to help explain why some of the calls were tough ones to make. We then preview our game against Alabama, which is another difficult team to play. They play faster than everyone in the country, and they’re coming off a game where they hit the most 3s in a game in NCAA Tournament history. We break down where they’re good and where Duke can have an advantage as we get ready for Saturday night. Make sure you’re following us!
