ACC Roundup – The Tournament Begins
It’s Tuesday, which means that the ACC Tournament starts today. Pitt plays Cal at 2:00, Syracuse plays SMU at 4:30, and Wake Forest plays Virginia Tech at 7:00. We might get lucky and get a thrilling game, but the odds seem to be against it. We’d like to see Jeff Capel’s Pitt win, but Stanford […]
YouTube Gold: Who’s Your Daddy?
If you asked people who their favorite Duke Basketball player is, you’d get some very different answers. Fans who saw Art Heyman play might pick him. People might pick Johnny Dawkins, too. More recently, we have a ton of players to choose from: JJ Redick, Kyrie Irving, Zion Williamson, Paolo Banchero, Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, […]

Some Intriguing Bracketology Speculation
There’s a good bit of work and play before we know exactly how things will shake out for the tournament, and who will be this year’s master of bracketology. One opponent that is very possible for Duke’s opening game: Tennessee State. It’s a #1 vs. #16 seed that’s made for TV. Why? Because it would […]
Expansion Teams Have Done Poorly In The ACC Tournament
Used to be, all the games were sold out. Securing a ticket was a feat. The tournament was an EVENT that riveted the attention of a region. Favorite players and teams were on display, one right after the other. Proud programs pranced, pounced, previewed NCAA prowess. Fans gave money to basketball programs of new […]
YouTube Gold: Duke-Louisville Highlights
Duke won its second consecutive ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament championship on Sunday with a 70-65 overtime thriller over #2 seed Louisville. This one was especially rewarding, given what a difficult start to the season the Blue Devils had. Duke started off just 3-6 and then completely flipped the script, ripping off 17 straight wins. They […]
Champs! Duke Beat Louisville, 70-65 In OT To Claim 2nd Straight ACC Title
Duke’s charmed season continues as the Blue Devils rallied to take out Louisville 70-65 in overtime to earn its second-straight ACC Championship. Not that it was easy. Louisville was the dominant team for much of the afternoon and was in control, or should have been, at the end of regulation. However, Duke, down 55-51, with […]
One Day After The ACC Regular Season Ends, And Pink Slips Are Already Rolling
Firing season is upon us, and two ACC schools made immediate moves after the season ended for their teams: Georgia Tech has fired Damon Stoudamire, and Boston College is done with Earl Grant. Stoudamire looked like he might do well. He beat Duke in his first season, and Baye Ndongo looked like a real find. […]
DBR Podcast #805 – Crushing Carolina – Brown And Sarr Lead Defensive Dominance
Despite injuries to two starters, Duke rolled over rival North Carolina in a win that seemed even more dominant than the 15 point final score indicated. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down all the things that worked for Duke in this game, starting with the stellar defensive disruptions of Maliq Brown and Dame Sarr that […]
ACC Roundup – On To Charlotte!
Saturday was the last day of regular season ACC Action, and here’s how that went: Virginia survived Virginia Tech, 76-72; Louisville surprised Miami, 92-89; BC got by Notre Dame, 77-69; Clemson outlasted Georgia Tech, 79-76; Florida State smoked SMU, 91-78; Stanford held off NC State, 85-84; Wake Forest surprised Cal, 80-73; and Pitt took down […]
YouTube Gold: Saturday’s Win Over UNC, Condensed
Saturday’s 75-61 win over UNC was both satisfying and distressing. It was distressing because Pat Ngongba started the game with a boot on and Caleb Foster ended the game with one on his foot as well. Ngongba’s situation is not that serious: the injury report said that it would be a game-time decision, and the […]
Duke Downs Notre Dame, Advances To ACC Finals
Duke returns to the ACC Championship game for the second year in a row after jamming Notre Dame three times on its final possession to win, 65-63. Irish star Hannah Hidalgo hit Cassandre Prosper for a three-point attempt with time running down, but she missed. Then Hidalgo missed a three of her own before Toby […]
No Mas: Down Two Starters, Duke Crushes UNC, 76-61
This game didn’t start off all that well for Duke. First, Patrick Ngongba was listed as a game-time decision, and he did warm up, but didn’t play. And then, partway through the first half, Caleb Foster fell to his knees in the lane and didn’t seem to move. We didn’t understand what happened, but thought […]

ACC Roundup – Good To The Last Drop
Saturday is the final day of regular season ACC Action, and it’s a busy day. Three noon games as Virginia Tech visits Virginia, Notre Dame takes on Boston College, and, win or lose, Georgia Tech plays its last game of the season at Clemson. In the 2:00 hour, Louisville checks in at Miami, SMU visits […]
Tatum Returns Just Eight Months After Devastating Injury
An interesting confluence of Brotherhood history as two things happened in Boston on Friday night: Jayson Tatum returned from his Achilles injury in just eight months, and New England native and Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg made his maiden trip to TD Garden, home of the Celtics. Not surprisingly, Boston won – the Celtics are second […]
YouTube Gold: JJ Redick Torches The Tar Heels In 2006
The Duke-UNC rivalry is full of classic, tense games that make your heart beat faster. Sometimes things go your way; sometimes the other guys get a win. There are also, in virtually every game, brilliant individual performances. Remember Ty Lawson? Tyler Hansbrough? Duke couldn’t stop those guys. It goes both ways, though. Grant Hill had […]
Ngongba Listed As Questionable For UNC Game
We’ve talked before about how Duke and UNC tend to parallel each other in strange and unusual ways. They’re like the yin and yang of college basketball, and if it rains in Chapel Hill, it’s probably going to rain in Durham, too. UNC got some seriously bad weather between Thursday and Friday. Caleb Wilson had […]
Duke Knocks Off Clemson In ACC Tournament Opener
Duke rode a big second quarter to overpower Clemson, winning 60-46 in the quarterfinals of the ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament. The Blue Devils had a 24-5 run between the second and third quarters and also forced 21 turnovers and held the Tigers to 25% on threes and 35% overall. Toby Fournier had a nice double-double […]
Cast Off, Cast On: Caleb Wilson Out For The Season With A New Injury
UNC and Caleb Wilson had clearly been pointing to the Duke game in Cameron for his return from wrist surgery. Well, that’s not going to happen now: Wilson broke his thumb dunking in practice, so now he’s got the remnants of his left hand injury and a right thumb that has been surgically repaired. As […]
Some (More) ACC Coaching Candidates
Over at CBS, Matt Norlander runs down some coaches who are likely to get new jobs when the Coaching Carousel cranks up soon, and since there are very likely to be some ACC openings in the next few weeks, we thought we’d take a look at a few. This is just speculation. To be clear, […]
