Duke Football: Georgia Tech Preview
Duke (4-0, 1-0) travels to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech (1-3, 0-1) on Saturday afternoon with kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EDT, with TV coverage provided by ESPN2. The Blue Devils are riding an eight-game winning streak stretching back to November 2025. Duke is looking to start the season with five straight victories for the […]
Cam Boozer Update – Game II Another Success
In his second preseason game, former Duke star Cameron Boozer did pretty well. He got 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, in just 22 minutes. He also shot 4-7 overall and 2-3 from behind the line. In this video, Gary Parrish and Chris Herrington talk about the impression Boozer is making, with Herrington noting […]
YouTube Gold: Duke vs. Mississippi Valley State, 1986
In 1986, Mike Krzyzewski led Duke to the Finał Four for the first time. The Blue Devils entered the tournament at 32-2 and a breath of fresh air for the national media (in retrospect, it’s hard to think of Duke as the likable new kid on the block). Duke was the #1 seed in the […]
Links & Video From Duke’s ACC Tipoff
ACC Basketball Tipoff was Tuesday and Wednesday, and Duke’s turn was Wednesday. Coach Jon Scheyer took Patrick Ngongba and Dame Sarr as the two players. Here are some video and links from Duke’s time in the media spotlight Wednesday. Links Video Go to the DBR Boards to find Blue Healer Auctions || Drop us a line
Scheyer On Foster’s Ankle
A couple of notes from Jon Scheyer’s comments at ACC Tipoff: first, Caleb Foster will not play on Thursday, as he has an ankle injury. He’s expected back for the season opener with Army. Missing him against Belmont is less than ideal, but not having him for the subsequent exhibitions vs. Tennessee and Kansas could […]
Jon Scheyer Makes A Hire
When Jack Scott came to Duke from Princeton, he made it a point to thank Jon Scheyer for the opportunity. And now, Scott has parlayed that opportunity into a possible career: Scheyer has brought Scott on as a Player Development Specialist. The title sounds self-explanatory, but we’re not sure what his responsibilities will be. Our […]
First Up: Belmont
Duke will face Belmont Thursday, and things could get interesting. The teams have played twice before, once in the 2008 NCAA Tournament, and once inf 2011, when the Maui Invitational had the Bruins visit Cameron. Total margin of victory? Two points. In 2008, Duke won 71-70, and in 2011, it was 77-76. So there’s some […]
Boozer’s NBA Debut A Success
We missed this on Tuesday, but Cameron Boozer had a successful debut in NBA pre-season play, helping the Memphis Grizzlies to defeat the Atlanta Hawks, 132-123. Boozer scored 11 points, pulled down five rebounds and passed out four assists in 18 minutes. He also shot 5-9, though he missed his three three-point attempts. Take the […]
YouTube Gold: A Theatrical Interpretation Of Duke’s 2008 Win Over Belmont
Somehow, in 2008, we missed this classic. After Duke barely survived Belmont, 71-70, Triangle TV station NBC-17 had a bit of a quandary: the NCAA would not allow it to show video while there were still games in progress. So the reporter in this video borrowed some of his daughter’s dolls and just re-enacted some […]
DBR Podcast #855: Preparing To Battle Belmont And Wreck Georgia Tech
Duke Basketball is ready to get their preseason in full effect with a scrimmage against Belmont, and Duke Football gets back to action with a trip to face Georgia Tech. We preview both on Episode 855. Duke Basketball welcomes Evan Bradds back to town as the Bruins come to tango with Duke in a scrimmage. […]
Let Threedom Ring
Three-pointers have been an essential component of Duke’s offense since the shot went into effect permanently in 1986-87. Lately, though, the Devils haven’t been particularly effective from beyond the arc. In fact, both in 2023 and last year, Duke posted two of the three least effective 3-point attacks in program history. As a player from […]
Duke Recruiting: Colton Hiller On Campus
Duke’s next recruiting visit is from Colton Hiller, who got to campus on Monday. Hiller, a 6-6, five-star recruit out of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, is a big deal. He’s generally seen as one of the top three talents in the class. He’s highly athletic and a brilliant shooter. People are going to compare him to JJ […]
Latest Duke Chronicle Player Preview: Drew Scharnowski
Nick Arnold || Brock Davis || Maxime Meyer || Jacob Theodosiou || Sebastian Wilkins || Bryson Howard The latest Duke Chronicle Player Preview is of Belmont transfer Drew Scharnowski. At 6-10 and 240, Scharnowski probably is more powerful than anyone else on the team, with the possible exception of Pat Ngongba. Our money is on Scharnowski, though. In some of the preseason video, […]
Twitter Gold: A Duke Trivia Prodigy
We’re pretty much Grade A Duke fans around here, but nobody knows everything. However, this guy comes close. Imagine if you had a near-encyclopedic recall of Blue Devils in the NBA. Not only that, you could name every team’s leading career scorer from Duke. That’s a big ask. When this guy started to go through […]
Duke Recruiting: Crystal Balls For A Five-Star Target
Recruiting is a funny business sometimes. It always has been, but today, with so many people following it online, and so many services competing, it’s really hard to know what to think. Still, there are some things that are useful and insightful, and one that tends to more or less correlate with reality is the […]
Latest Duke Chronicle Player Preview: Bryson Howard
Nick Arnold || Brock Davis || Maxime Meyer || Jacob Theodosiou || Sebastian Wilkins The latest Chronicle preview is of freshman Bryson Howard, and since people started seeing Duke practice, there’s been a significant buzz about Howard. At 6-4, he’s got good size for a guard. He’s also very long-armed and athletic, and people who have seen him play have raved […]
Twitter Gold: Joker Gets A Career Highlight Pass
Denver Nugget star Nikola Jokic often gets compared to Larry Bird, which is only partly fair. The funny part is, when people talk about Bird, they often suggest that he would be too slow to play in today’s NBA, but Jokic is far slower than Bird ever was, and he’s doing just fine. The primary […]
DBR Podcast #854: Deron Dynamic as Duke Dazzles At Countdown
Countdown to Craziness was fantastic! We recap the great weekend as Duke Basketball’s preseason kicks off with Episode 854. The weekend was terrific, but the centerpiece was the action on Coach K Court as both the men’s and women’s team played in intrasquad scrimmages. We start out by dissecting the men’s game and who stood […]
Latest Duke Chronicle Player Preview: Sebastian Wilkins
Nick Arnold || Brock Davis || Maxime Meyer || Jacob Theodosiou The latest Duke Chronicle player preview is of Sebastian Wilkins. We only got to see him during last year’s Countdown to Craziness, which isn’t much to go on. However, he’s had a year to mature. He runs well, he’s athletic, and he should be an excellent […]
YouTube Gold: JJ Redick Nukes UNC In Chapel Hill
Duke fans (yes, we’re speaking for all of us) can understand why players like Christian Laettner and JJ Redick got on people’s nerves. Guys like that would get on our nerves too if Duke had to play against them. But fortunately, Duke never had to do that, and we loved them both. Both of them […]
Countdown To Craziness Was Revealing
Duke Basketball made its public debut in Saturday’s Countdown to Craziness, as Team White won, 29-24, on a game-winning three by Deron Rippey (see link below for that play). The second play of the game was very encouraging, as Dame Sarr drove to the basket and hit a layup. As you may recall, he struggled […]
Countdown To Craziness Time!
You won’t see this very often, but in Saturday’s Countdown to Craziness, Duke will bring in a Top 20 team to take on the Blue Devils. And that team is… also the Blue Devils. Check out the rosters: BLUE WHITE That’s completely insane. We’d have to go with the White team, but Sarr might be […]
Latest Duke Chronicle Player Previews: Maxime Meyer & Jacob Theodosiou
Nick Arnold || Brock Davis The Duke Chronicle’s next two player profiles are up, and these are of Jacob Theodosiou and Maxime Meyer. Meyer is a Canadian who was rated a 4-star prospect, for what it’s worth. He’s going to be behind Pat Ngongba, Cameron Williams, and JoJo Boumtje Boumtje for now, but his long-term potential is […]
YouTube Gold: Celtics vs. Sixers, 1980 Eastern Conference Finals
The 1980s were defined by the Larry Bird-Magic Johnson rivalry, as those two greats led the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers to repeated trips to the Finals. For the Celtics though, their first great challenge in the early part of the 1980s was always the Philadelphia 76ers. By 1980, the Sixers had almost all […]
Duke Recruiting: More On Luke Paul
With Luke Paul’s sudden commitment to Duke, we thought we’d add a few more links, and some video, too. All of that is below, and you’ll see some wonderful passes, and also a guy who knows how to shoot. But the best thing we’ve seen is this play. Why? Because on this play, he has […]
