Cameron Boozer Wins Naismith, Reveals Injury Suffered vs. UConn
Sunday turned out to be a busier day than expected for Cameron Boozer. First, Boozer got more hardware for the trophy wing of the house he’ll soon buy, as he was named the Naismith Player of the Year award Sunday. It’s richly deserved – he had a phenomenal season by any standard, and unbelievable for […]
Michigan And UConn Move On To The Finals
So Monday night is set: UConn and Michigan will meet in the finals. This is a very interesting match for several reasons. First and foremost, we’ll see two excellent teams. We honestly thought Arizona was playing well enough to beat Michigan, and the Wolverines toyed with them. That was stunning, and more so since Yaxel […]

YouTube Gold: 43 Years Ago, N.C. State Found Magic
In 1983, Houston put on a devastating display in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament against Louisville. It was an astonishing performance, an aerial assault of epic proportions. It was so wild that Louisville players were going to the monitors to see replays of what Houston was doing. That team also had historic Hall of […]
A Look At UNC’s Coaching Search And Final Four Notes
The UNC coaching search took a rather dramatic turn Friday as Arizona managed to sign Tommy Lloyd to a lucrative extension. UNC’s top choices had been rumored to be Lloyd, Michigan’s Dusty May, and Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan. Lloyd was generally seen as the most likely option, and possibly the most interested. May could […]

YouTube Gold: Cooper Flagg Goes Where No NBA Teenager Has Gone Before
As you probably know, former Duke stars Kon Knueppel and Cooper Flagg have been locked into a riveting battle for NBA Rookie of the Year. One night, one has a phenomenal game; the next night, the other one does. Earlier this week, Knueppel broke the Hornets franchise record for made threes, and this came after […]
Cameron Boozer Wins AP National Player Of The Year
After a sensational freshman season, the honors continue to pour in for Duke’s Cameron Boozer. The latest: he was named the AP National Player of the Year, receiving 59 of 61 votes (the other two went to BYU’s AJ Dybantsa). Modestly, Boozer told the AP that “…it just goes to show more about what our […]
DBR Bites #157: Silly Season Begins
The Duke Blue Devils are in the offseason, and there are a few stories and nuggets to discuss on DBR Bites #157. Jason and Donald review some of the news stories and events that have taken place since the weekend, starting with Cameron Boozer, Jon Scheyer, and Maliq Brown. The most prestigious of the national […]
Kon Knueppel’s Brilliant Rookie Season Has Another High Point
Kon Knueppel has had a remarkable rookie season, but he was initially viewed as something of a consolation prize. His Duke teammate (and roommate) Cooper Flagg was the great prize of last year’s draft. Called a generational talent, he was taken by Dallas with the first pick, and Knueppel fell to the #4 pick, where […]

YouTube Gold: Jayson Tatum’s First Triple-Double After His Return
An Achilles injury is one of the most devastating injuries an athlete can suffer. Knee injuries used to be nearly as bad, but arthroscopic surgery has really changed that. Treatment has advanced, but Achilles injuries are still very difficult to overcome. So when former Blue Devil Jayson Tatum collapsed in a heap last year during […]
Cameron Boozer, Maliq Brown Honored
Two more big honors for Blue Devils as Malik Brown won the Lefty Driesell Award for the nation’s best defender and Cameron Boozer added to his haul with the Lute Olson National Player of the Year Award and the Kyle Macy Freshman of the Year Award from CollegeInsider.com. Boozer also won the CBS Sports Player […]
Video Highlights Of the McDonald’s Game
People used to say that recruiting is the lifeblood of college basketball. It’s not exactly true anymore, at least not in the same way it once was. It would probably be more accurate now to say that talent acquisition is a more precise term. However it happens, young players come into basketball every year, and […]
Triangle Coaching Search Update: NC State Is Done
Justin Gainey was introduced as NC State’s new coach on Wednesday. In a bit of an unforced error, NC State A.D. Boo Corrigan apparently twice referred to his new coach as Jason Gainey. Not an auspicious start, but perhaps Gainey will perform better than Corrigan did. Here are some of Gainey’s comments from his introductory […]

YouTube Gold: Cooper Flagg On His Rookie Season In The NBA
Cooper Flagg, along with his Duke roommate Kon Knueppel, is generally seen as the leading candidates for NBA Rookie of the Year. It’s been a tremendous year for both former Blue Devils. In this interview with Pat McAfee, Flagg discusses his rookie season to date. He touches on something that Kevin Garnett discovered in his […]
DBR’s Greatest April Fool’s Prank Ever
Although we haven’t done it in a while, back in the day, we used to do an annual April Fool’s Day Joke (we stopped doing them because SB Nation asked that April Fool’s Jokes be identified as such in the body of the story, which sort of takes the fun out of it). Since it’s […]

YouTube Gold: The Brilliance Of Rick Mount
It doesn’t quite register in North Carolina the way it does in Indiana, but high school basketball in the Hoosier state is more or less a religion. The rest of the world got a glimpse of it through the movie Hoosiers, the best basketball movie ever made and one of the best sports movies period, […]
ACC Coaching Is Trending Up, And Sharply
With Duke’s loss to UConn in the Elite Eight, every team in the ACC is now in off-season mode, other than Boston College, which is waiting for Huskies assistant Luke Murray to move to Beantown, which he can’t do until UConn’s season ends. Over the last few years, we’ve argued that the issue with the […]
Tuesday’s March Madness Notes And More (Coach’s Edition)
Starting close to home, it looks like NC State has opted to hire former Wolfpack point guard Justin Gainey. Gainey, 49, played for the Wolfpack from 1996-2000. He was an assistant at Elon, at App State under Jason Capel, at Arizona under Sean Miller, then at Marquette under Steve Wojciechowski, and most recently under Rick […]

YouTube Gold: Phil Henderson’s Iconic Moment
Back in 1989, Georgetown still carried the aura of Patrick Ewing. Ewing graduated in 1985, but he was so ferocious in his Hoya days that everyone just assumed that Alonzo Mourning could do the same things, and that in particular, he was as ferocious a defender as Ewing had been. It wasn’t a wild thought. […]
Pain Is A Privilege
Duke fans are in pain. To be upset in the NCAA Tournament is always agonizing. An upset loss with the game seemingly in hand hurts all the more. But to be upset in a game that was in your control on a miraculous buzzer beater that required so many things to go wrong in succession—both […]
