It is a Duke Basketball Roundup tradition, our way of previewing the regular season -- the stats game. And we welcome in an old friend to help us out with the preview -- Sam Klein is back to run the game and tabulate all of Jason and Donald's predictions. Of course, seeing as Sam has not been on the podcast in a while, he's dying to talk and it takes a good 13 minutes to get to the part of the show where we actually begin the season preview by making educated guesses about stuff like -- who will lead Duke in scoring; how many road wins will the team have; how many double-doubles will Cooper Flagg have; how many minutes will Isaiah Evans play; how many different guys will be starters at some point; and (Donald's favorite) how many times will Duke score 100+ points in a game. If you want to join in the fun, feel free to send us your picks in all the categories to DBRPodcast at gmail.com.

The Duke Blue Devils defeated the Arizona State Sun Devils Sunday night in The Brotherhood Run charity exhibition, and Scott Rich joins us to help break down all the good that happened on Episode 657. Duke beat Arizona State 103-47 in Bobby Hurley’s first time back in Cameron as a head coach. There was a lot to cover, and Jason, Donald, and Scott go through everything that Duke did well and even some of the things that could have been better. Duke scored 66 points in the second half, which is more than 18 of Duke’s opponents last year had in the entire game. It was led by shooting and, more importantly, by defense. After the break, Jason has to go, but Donald and Scott recap Duke Football’s crushing overtime loss to SMU. Despite 6 takeaways, Duke somehow lost the game. Donald and Scott discuss what went wrong for the Blue Devils and how the game felt like an opportunity to enter the national conversation that was missed. We end with a report of Duke Basketball heading to Vegas in 2027 to face Arizona at the home of the Las Vegas Raiders. Make sure you’re following us!

We were expecting Episode 656 to be a lighter one, but the commitment of Nik Khamenia to Duke has us excited!! Yesterday, Jason and Donald were not expecting to see Nik Khamenia pick Duke as his college of choice, but he did! The #19 recruit in the 247 Sports rankings and #35 in the ESPN100, Khamenia is a hooper with a smart game. We discuss what he brings to next year’s Blue Devils and how he could play alongside the Boozer twins. Next up are previews, and we first discuss Duke Men’s Basketball’s upcoming exhibition against the Arizona State Sun Devils. It’s Bobby Hurley’s return to Cameron as a coach, and he brings a squad that has been reloaded with several transfers and one stud freshman. While Duke figures out its combinations, it will be great to see Hurley (and his son) back in Cameron for a nice exhibition. Duke Football has its toughest test of the season to date on Saturday night when they take on the SMU Mustangs. SMU has a prolific offense that puts up over 40 points per game and averages almost a first down every time they snap the ball. We take you through how Duke can pull off the upset over the #22 team in the country. Finally, the NBA season tipped off last night, and once again there are two dozen members of The Brotherhood representing Duke in the Association. We discuss some of the players that changed teams and who we’re keeping an eye on as the season begins. Make sure you’re following us!

It is the story that sent shockwaves through the ACC and all of college basketball. Virginia coach Tony Bennett deciding to retire from the game just days before the start of the 2024-25 regular season. The Duke Basketball Roundup crew have many thoughts on what Tony Bennett said about his decision and what he kept quiet. Jason and Donald also weigh in on the timing of Bennett's retirement, leaving his players and his program less than two weeks before the games get underway. After the break, the podcast crew dives into the ACC's preseason awards. Only one Duke name showed up on the All-ACC teams... and how on earth did some no-name freshman from California get a vote for rookie of the year when Cooper Flagg and so many other notable newcomers are out there?

Here on the DBR Podcast, we get by with a little help from our friends. Jason and Donald welcome in dozens of fans of the podcast to their first ever live podcast. It was a huge weekend of Duke sports so there is plenty to talk about. It all begins with a recap of the exhibition win over Lincoln. The podcast crew (and friends) enjoyed the coming out party of Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel (who we are nicknaming Kon Ktripple). The guys also saw very positive things from Tyrese, Manman, and Maliq as Duke unveiled a lethal attack and also showed themselves to be a team full of long, pesky defenders. I mean, how can you not enjoy a 50+ point beatdown? After the break, the party continues with a look at the big, big football win on Friday, Duke's first ever victory over Florida State and a statement making win that ensures Duke is bowl eligible. There is much praised for the resiliency of this crew, especially the impressive defense.

We’re back with Episode 654 as Duke Basketball and Football both are in action this weekend! First, Jason and Donald preview Duke Men’s Basketball’s first exhibition of the season this weekend when they take on the Lincoln (PA) Lions. They’re led by former NC State standout Julius Hodge, who makes his return to Cameron. The duo discusses what to expect from Lincoln, what look they can present to Duke, and what they’re looking to see from the Blue Devils as they prepare for the regular season. Remember, after the exhibition game against Lincoln (PA) this weekend, Saturday at 4:00pm ET, we will be conducting a live show via Zoom, and DBR listeners are invited! To join the show on Saturday, head to TinyURL dot com slash DBR Zoom! Bring your headlines, bring your questions, wear your favorite Duke gear, and you will be a part of our first live episode! After the break, Duke Football has a huge game against Florida State, a team they haven’t beaten on the football field since the Seminoles joined the ACC. FSU is reeling, with a 1-5 record, but that doesn’t mean they will be pushovers on Friday night before a sold out Wallace Wade Stadium. Duke will need to execute, and we discuss how the Blue Devils can get the job done, beat FSU, and become bowl eligible. Make sure you’re following us!

The AP has released its preseason polls and Ken Pomery also has his rankings up. We discuss them all on Episode 653! The AP released their men’s preseason poll yesterday, and the Duke Blue Devils will begin the season as the #7 team in the country. Jason and Donald discuss whether that’s a good spot for the Blue Devils and what the voters may have been looking for when assessing teams at the start of the year. Duke also has a loaded schedule, and it’s represented pretty heavily in these rankings. Ken Pomeroy also released his preseason rankings yesterday, and Duke is much better according to KenPom: they check in at #2 there. Of course, we compare the difference between what the computers are seeing and what differs from what the college basketball writers who make up the AP poll are valuing. The ACC should be much better this season, but while they didn’t have a ton in the top 25, there are several NCAA tournament caliber teams in the conference that Duke will face this year. After the break, we discuss the Duke Women, who appear at #11 in the first AP women’s poll of the season. The ACC is loaded, and Duke is the 3rd highest ranked team in the conference. A lot of respect is being shown to Kara Lawson and her squad, and for good reason! We discuss the team, who they will see this season in a tough schedule, and how they could do. Finally, we’re going to do it! After the exhibition game against Lincoln (PA) this weekend, Saturday at 4:00pm ET, we will be conducting a live show via Zoom, and all you listeners are invited!

Big news Friday morning as Duke landed its first two recruits of the 2025 class and they are quite the pair. Cameron and Cayden Boozer, Carlos Boozers twin sons, picked Duke over Miami and Florida in a recruiting race that was a lot closer and more mysterious than casual fans may think. The DBR podcast is here to break down what each of these 5-star players will mean for the Duke program. They also point out why this was an especially important recruiting win for Jon Scheyer. After the break, Jason and Donald talk about a comment by Coach Scheyer at ACC Media Day that might reveal something going on behind the scenes with the team's rotations and player positions. And there is one more important piece of news -- the Duke Basketball Roundup is going to stage its first ever live episode on Saturday October 19th at 4pm ET, about an hour after the exhibition game is over. Stay tuned for more details about how you can join the guys in a Zoom room and be a part of DBR Podcast history!

The latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup contains part two of Jason's weekend at Duke. First up, he talks about the Dribble for Victory over Cancer and a stunning display of friendship from the folks who make up the DBR community. Fans of the podcast turned out in droves both to support this important charity and to spend some time chatting with Jason. The day also included a peek at a Duke practice and the DBR Podcast host came away with a few controversial takes... including his assessment of how deep Duke will go and which guys appear to be in the main rotation at this early point in the preseason. Oh, and you don't want to miss Jason's play-by-play of what happened when Kon went one-on-one with Flagg and Sion! After the break, the Roundup gang has some intel on Duke recruiting. There were three big-time prospects on campus this weekend and Jason got to spend some time chatting with some of their parents. We also look ahead to a big announcement on Thursday when the Boozer twins will make their college choice between Duke and Miami. This is one of the most dramatic recruiting mysteries in a while and, frankly, we have no idea what Cameron and Cayden are going to do.

We all got our first real and unedited peek at the 24-25 Blue Devils on Friday at Countdown to Craziness... and the Duke Basketball Roundup was in the house (Cameron) for the event. Join Jason and Donald as they talk about a somewhat shaky start that led to an explosive ending in the Blue-White scrimmages. The guys break down all the positives and negatives they saw from the team and Jason, who was courtside, has a theory why Caleb Foster struggled at first and then took off later on. The guys also talk a bit about the pregame festivities and the various choices the players made for their introductions to the Cameron crowd. After the break, the DBR crew gets into the first football loss of the season, a tough loss to a good Ga Tech team that came from behind in the fourth quarter. Despite suffering the L, it feels like the football team is proving it belongs among the better teams in the ACC.
