    DBR Bites #63 - Crushing Carolina!
    Sep 29 2024
    Nothing could be finer than beating Carolina! The Victory Bell is back where it belongs as the football Blue Devils used an inspired second half effort to crush UNC 21-20. The Duke Basketball Roundup is here to meet you football needs as Scott Rich joins Jason Evans to talk about this remarkable victory that sends the Blue Devils to 5-0 on the gridiron. Their conversation starts with the amazing willpower of Star Thomas at RB and includes plenty of praise for the impressive Duke defense that utterly bottled up UNC vaunted offensive attack. It was a huge victory that cements, for the moment, Duke's spot as the best football team in the state. After the break, Jason and Scott have a little bit of basketball news to puzzle through... the injury status of Patrick NGongba is up first but they the guys get to some surprising position rotations that happened at a recent Duke practice. You'll never guess what position Cooper Flagg is working out at. Last but not least, we are in the final days for you to make a donation to fight pediatric cancer through the Duke Dribble for Victory.

    DBR Bites #62 - Intel from inside a Duke practice
    Sep 26 2024
    On the heels of the schedule being announced (if you missed episode #648, go back and check it out) the DBR Podcast has gotten some intel about how the early practices are going for the Blue Devils... and the info is really intriguing. College hoops reporter Jon Rothstein got a peek at a Duke practice this week and he says Kon Kneuppel and Darren Harris both looked fabulous and Cooper Flagg is like nothing he has seen in a long, long time. Rothstein also guesses at what Duke's starting lineup will be... and his guess will really surprise you. After the break, Jason and Donald take a deep dive into the latest episode of the Brotherhood Podcast, featuring a conversation between CFos and Tyrese Proctor. The backcourt mates have a revealing talk about how the team is coming together and what feels different from the past couple years. If what they have to say does not excite you about the coming season, then you do not bleed Duke Blue! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    #648 - The Schedule Is Here!
    Sep 25 2024
    The full 2024-2025 ACC schedules have dropped for men’s and women’s basketball, and we are quick to react to the Duke schedules on Episode 648! We first start with the men’s schedule, where we take a look at how it shakes up for a Duke team with high expectations. We discuss the Saturday-Monday doubles and while they may be as favorable as we could hope for, Duke has more than the rest of the ACC. We then get into where some of the tough stretches may be, from being on the road for the first two ACC games to a nostalgic Tobacco Road stretch in the middle of the schedule that brings you back to the 9-team (or 7-team) ACC days. January also is a time where Duke will spend most of its days at home after a loaded November and December. After the break, we discuss some of the rest of the ACC teams and their schedule. Duke’s schedule is tougher than most, including almost all of the teams that are expected to be true contenders. Still, we have expected competition and we will get it with this schedule. We then turn to the Duke women, who have a extremely difficult schedule that includes a ton of true road games and the ACC ending a tradition at the end of the regular season for no real reason.

    DBR Bites #61 - Undefeated Devils prepare for Carolina
    Sep 22 2024
    The Duke football team stands at 4-0 after putting a beatdown on Middle Tennessee State to the tune of 45-17. Duke dominated this one from early on forcing three first quarter turnovers and turning each of them into TDs to stake an big lead that only grew as the game moved along. The Duke Basketball Roundup digs deep into what Duke was doing right in this contest, especially on the defensive side of the ball. After the break, Jason and Donald look ahead to the first ACC contest of the season, Duke hosting the hated TarHeels. UNC has been kinda mid all season thus far and really stunk up the joint over the weekend when they lost to James Madison 70-50... yes., that is a football score. The DBR Podcast gang has a discussion about what has been going wrong for Mack Brown's boys. Last but not least, we have an update on the Duke Dribble for Victory event to fight pediatric cancer. Time is running out for you to make a donation to this incredibly important cause.

    Sep 18 2024
    We're back with Episode 647, and we're honored to have Duke Associate Head Coach Chris Carrawell on the show! Duke Basketball (both the men and women) are participating in Dribble For Victory Over Cancer on October 5th, and it's a great opportunity to have C-Well on the show to discuss Duke's involvement in the event to raise money for pediatric cancer research. It's an important event, as cancer touches literally everyone...and C-Well and the team are no exception. We discuss the event and what fans who participate can expect, from dribbling around Duke to watching the open practice. We also take the time to ask Carrawell about the 2024-25 Duke team and how they've been coming along this summer. It's a great interview that you don't want to miss. And, join the DBR Podcast team either in person or through your donations! Head to tinyurl.com/DukeDribble to join us in the fight against pediatric cancer. After reacting to the interview, Jason and Donald discuss a nugget from an interview Jon Scheyer had with Jon Rothstein where he said he was open to scheduling a home-and-home series with UConn. It leads to a greater discussion about the future of the Champions Classic and what Duke can do to continue to have a competitive non-conference schedule that excites fans every year.

  • #646 - Duke Football squeaks by UConn, but needs to improve

    #646 - Duke Football squeaks by UConn, but needs to improve
    Sep 16 2024
    The Duke Blue Devils were able to win on the football field over the weekend, but on Episode 646 of the Duke Basketball Roundup, we know we need to get better. Duke was able to beat the UConn Huskies 26-21, the 3rd straight week that Duke scored 26 points. There were definitely some guys who had standout performances, but Donald and Jason know that improvement is a must as the calendar continues to move. We break down some of the things that need to improve as the Blue Devils turn their attention to this Saturday’s game against Middle Tennessee. After the break, AJ Griffin is reportedly considering stepping away from the game of basketball. We don’t know anything official yet, but we offer some encouraging words to the beloved member of The Brotherhood, no matter what he ultimately decides to do. Finally, we salute an absolute legend in the Duke community, as we discuss the passing of Dean Gerald Wilson. He served as an advisor and mentor to thousands of students over his 60 years, including Donald and Jason. They both reflect on his life of service to Duke and how he personally shaped their lives. He will be immeasurably missed. Make sure you’re following us! Head to our Linktree to get all our available social media and links to follow and subscribe to the show.

    DBR Bites #60 - The Brotherhood’s Back In The House!
    Sep 11 2024
    On DBR Bites #60, we preview Duke’s upcoming game against UConn and we celebrate so many members of The Brotherhood coming back to campus! First, we preview Duke’s upcoming football game against UConn this weekend. UConn is a team that struggled mightily against Maryland but turned it around against Merrimack. Donald and Jason discuss what to watch for when the two teams take the field as well as what UConn brings to the table. There are a couple of skill players to watch as well as who could be under center for the Huskies. After the break, we get into some basketball stuff, led by a cool event that will be on campus on October 5th. Jason will be down at Duke for Dribble for Victory Over Cancer, an event that raises money for pediatric cancer research. Jason has created a DBR Podcast fundraising team, so join us to try and raise some money for a great cause! We then get into the latest Duke Blue Planet episode, where tons of basketball alums returned to campus for one fun weekend. But, the episode has an inadvertent focus on Khaman Maluach in a really cool way, as you see how his interactions with Dereck Lively and his coaches shows how coachable he is and how quickly he learns. Finally, friend of the pod Shane Battier has a new podcast! It’s called Glue Guys, and it’s discussing the unsung heroes of life. We definitely encourage a listen to the first episode, which just dropped yesterday! Make sure you’re following us!
