The DBR Podcast always treats the Carolina game with the respect it deserves, doing a deep dive on where the Tarheels are now and what it will take to beat them. But this Carolina preview episode has even more. The guys start by discussing the news that Ryan Young has announced he plans to return to Durham for one more year in a Duke uniform. They say this is big news as Young provides fierce rebounding, tremendous scoring ability around the bucket, and a much needed dose of experience and leadership to next year's Duke team. Up next, the podcast crew talks about all the seeding possibilities for Duke in the ACC Tourney. The Blue Devils could be anywhere from a #2 to the #5 seed. And step one toward getting a high seed is knocking off the hated Tarheels.

The Duke Blue Devils closed out a perfect 16-0 record at Cameron Indoor Stadium Tuesday night when they beat NC State 71-67. The DBR Podcast crew jumps on soon after the game to recap everything with Episode 494. Donald was in the building, and he starts by giving his take on some of the Senior Night festivities that occurred. Cameron was at full tilt, and the passion was just as palpable as the physicality in this game. We go through some of the headlines and then get to the good from this game, featuring Jeremy Roach’s performance, Dereck Lively and Kyle Filipowski having tremendous effort on defense and on the glass, and Tyrese Proctor locking down Terquavion Smith. The game was physical, and Donald highlights just how tough this young group played. After the break, we get into what didn’t go well for the Blue Devils in this one, from some shooting woes to a tough night moving the ball around in the offense. We close with our favorite plays, and while we don’t look ahead to that team we will face this weekend, we have a thing about hot streaks and Duke can add to one before the end of the regular season. We’ll be back later this week with some more Bites and more content as we enter March!

The ACC has seen conferences like the Big Ten and the SEC sign huge money TV deals over the past 18 months, and a couple of teams in the conference have said it’s time for the ACC to help them keep up with the Joneses. On DBR Bites Episode 17, we discuss recent comments by Florida State and Clemson that call for unbalanced revenue sharing of the current TV money the conference receives. FSU called out the conference the other day, saying that “something needs to change” with regards to the current grant rights deal that runs through 2036. Clemson echoed FSU’s sentiments, with both calling for the ACC to give them more money because they draw the best TV ratings for football. Sam and Donald discuss FSU and Clemson’s desire for an unbalanced revenue sharing, with an eye on how Duke would be affect should the ACC even consider such a move. There’s also the angle of what would happen should FSU and Clemson try to leave the ACC, and whether the conference should attempt to get out of their current deal and restructure it so that it expires earlier, giving the conference member institutions a crack at a bigger slice of the pie. It’s a fascinating conversation to help jump start your day as you await Duke’s final home game tonight!

Tomorrow night, the Duke Blue Devils host the NC State Wolfpack in the final regular season game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. We preview what Duke needs to do to stop NC State on DBR Bites Episode 16. Last time the two teams met up in Raleigh on January 4th, it was a terrible night for the Blue Devils. NC State has been pretty good since then, and they’re just 1 game behind Duke in the ACC standings. Still, Duke also has been pretty good of late, and it creates a matchup where Duke has to feel confident that they can produce a better outing than they did almost 2 months ago. We also discuss the guys for the Wolfpack that destroyed Duke last time out, with DJ Burns being a point of focus alongside the very talented backcourt of Terquavion Smith and Jarkel Joiner. Duke will hopefully play with a ton of energy and intensity, with a chance to end their Cameron schedule with a perfect record. We will have another Bites for you tomorrow before the game, so stay tuned to your feeds for that!

It was a great night in Cameron Indoor Stadium as the Duke Blue Devils torched the Virginia Tech Hokies. The DBR Podcast crew jumps on to recap it all on Episode 493. There were some great headlines, and we go through some of our favorites before diving into all the good that came out of this game. Jeremy Roach’s 10-10-5 game and Dereck Lively having a perfect game on offense highlights the good, but it was also Duke’s defense on Virginia Tech that made this game fun to watch. All starters in double figures meant that it was a comfortable night for Duke. After the break, we get into the couple of things that didn’t go well last night, namely the slight reduction in production for Kyle Filipowski and from the bench. We also dish out our favorite plays. Jason Evans was in the building last night, and while he’s on the road somewhere in the Smoky Mountains, he tells us about an interaction with TV Teddy Valentine and just how it was being in Cameron for the game. He also tells his adventurous story of getting to the game and how he almost didn’t make it to Cameron in time. We then end with giving out our Player of the Week awards. There are two more games in the regular season for Duke, and we will be back early in the week to preview their next game against NC State. Until then, continue to send us emails at DBR Podcast at Gmail dot com!

The article in the Athletic rippled through the Duke community like a bomb going off. Jon Scheyer says he wants more year-to-year continuity in the program and fewer freshmen on the Duke team each year. So, does this mean Duke is done with one-and-done recruits? The DBR Podcast crew is here to break it all down, from what future recruiting classes will look like to how Scheyer can keep players in the program for longer than we have come to expect. The DBR dudes have the numbers and historical examples to give extra depth to this conversation. Plus, they spend some time talking about another recent article in the Athletic that spells out exactly what Coach K has been up to since he retired. How much time is he spending talking to Jon Scheyer and what is K doing with all that extra time in his day?

We're back with DBR Bites to talk Virginia Tech. Duke faces the Hokies on Saturday at Cameron Indoor, and the Blue Devils are looking to even the score after the throat-punching loss in Blacksburg a month ago. Jason and Sam are back to break this one down, and we have to first acknowledge that we know there has been some reporting this week about Jon Scheyer's recruiting approach and Mike Krzyzewski's retirement thoughts, but we need a full episode to dive into all of that. What can Duke fans expect on Saturday? We're looking forward to better big man play and a full appearance by Dariq Whitehead. Virginia Tech hasn't put themselves in a good position for a tournament appearance, but they are always excited to spoil a home stretch in Cameron. Speaking of home arenas, we take a very weird detour into discussing concerts at Reynolds Coliseum. We'll be back again soon, but in the meantime, don't forget to write to us. You know the drill.

The Duke Blue Devils took care of business last night against the Louisville Cardinals, and the podcast trio is here to cover it on Episode 491. Duke started out slow but then eventually took care of business with balanced scoring and several highlight moments on offense and defense. After we go through some of the great headlines we received, we move to the good, and there was a ton to cover in this game. The low number of turnovers in this ballgame is certainly a cause for celebration, and it led to incredible ball movement and a ton of assists. The team also shot pretty well and everyone was getting involved. All 5 starters in double figures and the 3 bench contributors giving a lot made this an overall good team win, our first time this season winning the 2nd game of a Saturday/Monday back-to-back. After the break, we do shift to what needs to improve, beginning with the missed high percentage shots leading to shooting droughts. The quick start by Louisville also is discussed as we look at what didn’t go well in this game. We cap the episode with some of our favorite plays, and there were a bunch to choose from! We will be back this week with some Bites hopefully as we get ready to host Virginia Tech this weekend. Stay in touch with us at DBR Podcast at Gmail dot com!

On this episode of DBR Bites, we dive into Duke's upcoming home game against the Louisville Cardinals, who have mostly been a disaster this year under first-year head coach Kenny Baker and first-year assistant coach, Duke alum and Louisville legacy Nolan Smith. Sam and Donald break down Louisville's rocky season, but we have to highlight some good developments lately for Louisville, most notably a win Saturday against competitive Clemson, whom Louisville held to an abysmal night from three. Durham native El Ellis has also been a revelation for the Cardinals this year, averaging over 18 points a game, and he is sure to be fired up to be playing back home. We'll be back again, hopefully with the full podcast crew, to recap this one and look ahead at another long layoff before a Saturday matchup. Keep emailing us at dbrpodcast at gmail.com - we haven't decided a new name for the show, so keep those ideas coming!

We knew they had a game like this in them, but it was oh so much fun watching Duke dismantle Syracuse on the way to a 77-55 victory. The Duke Basketball Report podcast crew chime in with their take on the ways this Duke team is evolving into a very dangerous opponent. The three point shooting, led by Dariq Whitehead, and the stellar interior defense, led by Derek Lively were major difference-makers in this contest. The podcast guys also talk about Duke's biggest problem lately, turnovers, and discuss how Duke got them under control in the second half against the Orange. The podcast wraps it all up with the player of the week picks, including on selection that may come as a bit of a surprise. Oh, and stay tuned for a post-credit moment where Donald breaks down why the NBA slam dunk contest wasn't all that interesting to him.
