The back half of this episode will be a lot more fun than the front... The Duke Basketball Roundup gang (Jason and Scott this week) begin by diving into the Duke football loss to Tulane. Unlike the Illinois game, this one didn't feel like Duke got robbed as much as it did that Duke just didn't come to play.
But, after the break the guys have some fun breaking down some notes on the Duke hoops team courtesy an article published this week by Brendan Marks of The Athletic. Jon Scheyer has some really interesting combinations to play with this upcoming season. Is the Blue-White game really less than 3 weeks away?!?!

#749 - ACC Schedule Breakdown
The ACC has told us when, where, and who Duke will be playing during the conference season this coming year and the DBR Podcast has a complete breakdown of what to expect. From a trio of Saturday/Monday short rest games to a long road trip to the West Coast, Jason and Donald dig into the pitfalls and opportunities in every game. They also look at the rest of the league to try to find which teams got scheduling breaks and which ones have a tough road to ACC contender status.
After the break, the guys dive into a little bit of silliness... who would you pick from Duke history to play by your side in a 3-on-3 matchup?

#748 - Feeling ill about football mental mistakes
If you look at most of the stats from Saturday's Duke-Illinois football game, it looks like a competitive contest... except for the final score. The DBR Podcast dives into what went wrong (duuuh, turnovers) and what Duke can do to fix it.
We also look at a few other interesting results from across the college football landscape -- you will be sorry if you miss Jason's rant about Florida State.
In the back half of the episode, the guys get into what "the money" sees as it looks ahead to the college basketball season. Who are the favorites to win the natty and the player of the year... and what odds can you get on any team going undefeated this season? Listen to the DBR Podcast to find out!

#747 - Recapping Week 1 of College Football
Duke Football took care of business against Elon in their opening game of the 2025 season as Week 1 kicked off with some exciting matchups! We welcome back Scott Rich on Episode 747 to take us through all of the big takeaways from the long weekend of football.
Jason is returning home from vacation, so Scott and Donald take flight on this episode beginning by recapping Duke’s 45-17 win over Elon on Thursday night. Darian Mensah looked as advertised, and the passing game was pretty fun to watch as Duke eventually took control of the game in the second half. The running game had some good moments, but could still use some improvement. We discuss some of the other players who stood out in Duke’s win as we prepare for Illinois to come to town this weekend.
We also get into the exciting opening weekend of college football, first with the ACC and then extending to the rest of the nation. Miami and Florida looked good in their big wins over the weekend, while we also laugh at UNC for getting trounced by TCU. We end by saluting Lee Corso on his retirement and of course Scott and Donald get their Michigan talk in with Jason not around to stop them.

#746 - 5 Best Things From Jon Scheyer Interview
The Jon Scheyer interview is completed, and Donald and Jason are still buzzing about it! On Episode 746, they break down some of their favorite portions of their chat with the Duke head coach.
First, Emmanuel Dildy has been promoted to associate head coach, and there’s a quick discussion on this move. Then, we get to the full breakdown of the best parts of Jon Scheyer’s comments. We react to Scheyer’s thoughts on the non-conference schedule, Pat Ngongba, Cam Boozer potentially being a point forward, Maliq Brown’s motivational return from his shoulder injury last season, and what Scheyer feels is his best coaching move. It’s great to recap the interview and we’re glad that he gave us so much to think about!
