YouTube Gold: Danny Ferry Explodes For 58 Points In 1988

In 1988, Miami was still an independent, with Big East membership still three years away, and ACC membership 13 more off in the distance. However, Miami had actually dropped basketball in 1971, not reactivating the program until 1985. Bill Foster, who had been at Clemson, was chosen to rebuild the program. Duke and Miami played […]

Duke’s Full Schedule Released

Duke released its full basketball schedule, and, as usual with Jon Scheyer, it’s a tough one. Duke starts with three challenging exhibition games. Belmont and Tennessee visit Durham, followed by a trip to Lawrence to take on the Jayhawks. The regular season opens with a now-traditional game with Army, followed by Coastal Carolina. Both of […]

YouTube Gold: Great Free Throw Distractions

In college basketball, and, to an extent, pro ball, distracting free throw shooters has become sort of an art form. In Cameron, we’ve seen some inspired ideas. Speedo Guy was great, although then-coach Mike Krzyzewski suggested that we didn’t need to see that again (Speedo Guy, we believe, is a reverend now). There is a […]

The Best Deron Rippey Play We’ve Seen So Far

When we learned that Deron Rippey had committed to Duke, we knew he was athletic and talented, but we didn’t fully appreciate just how true that was. We had seen clips, of course. We knew he could get up and that he was explosively quick and deceptively strong. But sometimes it’s still hard to understand […]

Duke Recruiting: 5-Star Recruit Schedules Visit

Colton Hiller, a highly promising recruit from Coatesville, Pennsylvania, has set visits to Florida and Duke. He’ll be at Florida this weekend, and will be at Duke a month later, on October 5. Hiller came to see Duke play Michigan in D.C. this past winter, which was probably a great visit, all things considered. Hiller […]

A Great Hypothetical Matchup: Duke 2001 vs UConn 2024

Over at CBS Sports, they do a feature every summer called Candid Coaches. The idea is they ask questions anonymously and the coaches, secure in their anonymity, speak freely. The most recent question is: what was the best team so far of the 21st century? The top two vote-getters? 2023-24 UConn, with 17%, and 2000-01 […]

YouTube Gold: Duke-Indiana, 1992 Final Four

In 1992, Duke was the defending national champions. The 1991 Final Four opened with an emotional rematch with UNLV after being blown out by the Runnin’ Rebels in the 1990 championship game. Duke then beat Kansas. The 1992 season was different. Led by Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, and Bobby Hurley, Duke was a brilliant team. […]

Jared McCain Comes Home To Cameron

Around Duke, summertime might as well be called Brotherhood Time, as former Blue Devils regularly drop in to visit and advise the current players. Recently, Jabari Parker and Jayson Tatum came home to talk to the 2026-27 Blue Devils, and most recently, Jared McCain came through. McCain’s brother, Jayce, is a Player Development Specialist for […]
