DBR Bites #166 - Numbers Game and Scheduling Stuff

We are getting more little nuggets of news about the 2026-27 Duke Blue Devils. The team has released what numbers everyone will be wearing next season. And while numbers may seem less than exciting, the Duke Basketball Roundup crew is able to find something interesting to talk about in the digits each player chose.  Plus, there is scheduling news to talk about. Duke has lined up another power conference opponent for a date in MSG. And the ACC has unveiled who we will be playing and where the games will be played during conference season. It is a challenging slate for a Duke club that has only lost one conference game in each of the past two seasons. Bring it on!!  Learn more about your ad choices.

DBR Bites #165 - Favorite Duke Starters

Who are your favorite Duke players of all time? How hard would it be to pick a guy, just one guy, at each of the five positions on the floor? The latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup dives into the question -- pick your favorite Dukies (not best, favorite). But, before Jason and Donald get to that little exercise, they spend a few moments on the arrival of players for K Academy; the ever-growing hype surrounding Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje; and the growing role of Jared McCain on the defending (and future?) NBA champs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

#825 - Blackwell and JBB updates plus a Kansas exhibition game

We had a slew of news about Duke as the weekend started so the DBR Podcast crew had to hop on and talk about it. There's John Blackwell making it official -- no to the NBA Draft, yes to the Blue Devils. There's word of a really fun preseason exhibition against a blue blood program in a hallowed gymnasium. And there's a lot of buzz about international players coming over to the States, including Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, who is putting on a show in an elite youth tournament this weekend.

#824 - Schedule updates and Combine evaluations

Duke Men’s Basketball has set up another terrific home-and-home series, and the NBA Draft declarees hit up the Draft Combine. Donald and Jason go over it all on Episode 824! Duke has a couple of games added to the schedule: a home-and-home with Illinois starting with a game in Cameron this fall along with Coastal Carolina on the first week of the season. We discuss those games and opine as to how the schedule might look as it starts to get filled out. We also discuss a potential exhibition game against Tennessee that would be a return game for the one that was played in Knoxville last year. We then discuss the NBA Draft Combine and how Cam Boozer, Isaiah Evans, Maliq Brown and John Blackwell are doing. We don’t get into a full draft preview, but we discuss how Boozer, Slim, and Maliq are stacking up against the others and whether Blackwell has done enough to be this year’s Cedric Coward. We then end with some information about how Duke dominates all the ACC’s TV numbers. Make sure you’re following us!

#823 - Waaay too early season preview!

With the roster seemingly set, the Duke Basketball Roundup dives into two burning questions -- what are the strengths of this team and where are the weaknesses? Jason and Donald welcome frequent podcast contributors Scott Rich and Jordan Brenner for what amounts to a very, very early preview of the season. Listen in as each of the guys identifies one cause for optimism and one reason to be worried about the 2026-27 Blue Devils.  This may be an extra long episode, but it is worth it!  Learn more about your ad choices.
