#775 - Preparing for the Gators and…an ACC Championship Game?!
We’re back with Episode 775 where we begin with our preview of the Florida Gators and NO WE DON’T! DUKE’S IN THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!
All plans to start with the Florida preview were thrown out the window the second a SMU kicker sent his potential game-tying field goal yards right of the uprights, sending Duke to its second ever ACC title game. We have to lead with the events that led up to that moment and how Duke took out Wake Forest to set up this possibility. This weekend will be a championship weekend (Women’s Soccer in the College Cup, Duke Football in the ACCCG) with a Duke-Sparty matchup, and we will preview that in full later this week.
More immediately ahead of us is the ACC-SEC Challenge matchup with the defending national champions, who come into Cameron on the struggle bus, but are still a strong opponent. We get into how they’ve done, what the metrics say about them and what we’ve seen from their players. We then get into the things to watch as that game takes place on Tuesday (and the team is calling for a Blackout!). We also get into some of the other ACC-SEC Challenge matchups and our hopes for the ACC.

#774 - Hog-tied in Chicago, Duke stomps Arkansas
The Duke Basketball Roundup is breathing a huge sigh of relief after the Blue Devils took down a spirited and extremely talented Arkansas club in a Thanksgiving night matchup that was non-stop thrills. As Jason and Donald tell us, this was more than just the Cameron Boozer show as Duke's Player of the Year candidate got help from unexpected places like Caleb Foster and Nik Khamenia. The back and forth contest also showed that perhaps one thing that separates this Duke club from last year's stellar bunch is the ability to close out games in the clutch.

#773 - Brotherhood Run Ends With Bison Burgers
We return with Episode 773 to recap a great weekend on the basketball court and the football field!
Duke Men’s Basketball finished out the weekend with a 93-56 victory over Kenny Blakeney, Nate James, and the Howard Bison. We discuss some of the takeaways from the game, which lived in the 58 paint points Duke had! We discuss some of the things to improve as we look ahead to a big week and hand out Play of the Game and Player of the Week honors.
After the break, we shift to the football, as Todd Pelino became the hero in a 32-25 Duke win over UNC. Duke took care of the football and made some great plays, but it was the gutsy fake field goal call late in the game that has us so happy. And…dare I say the ACC Championship Game hopes are not dead just yet!

#772 - Dominating win over Niagara
In one of the most balanced attacks in recent memory, Duke dismantled the Niagara Purple Eagles of Greg Paulus in the first game of The Brotherhood Run. DBR podcast hosts Jason and Donald were impressed with the defense, the shooting, the depth, and passing and just about everything else Duke put on display in this game. They also enjoyed listening to Jim Boeheim, who was in full comedian mode much of the game.
The latest edition of the Duke Basketball Roundup also dives into other ACC action from Friday, including 4 important matchups in which the ACC went an impressive 4-0. There is little question the ACC is significantly better and deeper than it was last year.
