In the runup to Duke University's 2025 commencement exercises on May 11, we visit with two inspirational soon-to-be Blue Devil graduates. Star defensive end and Durham native VJ Anthony completed his African and African American Studies degree requirements in only three-and-a-half years and is locked in on one final college football campaign in the fall. Senior women's tennis standout Ellie Coleman, an Environmental Sciences major, enjoyed an undefeated ACC singles season this spring and helped her team to an undefeated conference record and regular season championship. She's eyeing a final run in the NCAA Tournament this month. And while both have been at the top of their games athletically, their Duke experiences have also included game-changing moments beyond the spotlight of competition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the Men's College Basketball Final Four and UConn winning the Women's College Basketball National Championship. Bo starts the show by saying why he's bad at "being on vacation" (1:53) and which news items reached him while he was away. (2:10) Then, Bo gets into men's college hoops where we saw Florida defeat Auburn and Houston storm back vs Duke. (3:44) Bo defends Cooper Flagg from the criticism he's received after Duke's loss and he says why Flagg does not seem as insufferable as previous Blue Devil stars. (11:13) Bo transitions to the Women's National Championship where UConn won its first title in 9 years and why it was such a beat down over Dawn Staley's South Carolina team. (23:51) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving your AI lover changing you, a shortage of family doctors and a cure for America's loneliness. (40:44) Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the worst vacation you've ever had.

It is with a heavy heart that the Duke Basketball Roundup bids farewell to the 2024-25 Blue Devil team. A stunning 70-67 loss to Houston has all of us in a funk it not outright depressed. A team that seemed fated to cut down the nets on Monday instead finds itself wondering what went wrong in the fateful final few minutes where a sizeable lead evaporated. Jason and Donald try to make sense of all of it. They talk about what happened and what the causes of it may have been; they remind us all that the journey is more than the destination; and they reflect on the many great moments of joy this team brought us. Still it all just feels wrong, it feels unfair. Join the DBR Podcast as they try to process the end of a very special season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

All number one seeds leading out of their conferences; Duke, Auburn, Houston, and Florida have emerged themselves into the final dance determining who will move on to the championship round. Talking to a former Blue Devil as the Cougars get ready to take on Duke Saturday night, former Blue Devil and NBA prospect Thomas Hill joins and shares a few things he's seen from both teams as his Blue Devils get ready to tip-off in a showdown this weekend against the Houston Cougars and who he's got winning it all.

Well, that wasn't stressful!! Let the sirens ring as Jason and Donald hop on for a super quick emergency pod reaction to the Blue Devil's nailbiter win over Arizona. You may want to cover your children's ears as there are a few naught words spoken on this edition of the DBR Podcast. We fondly bid farewell to Caleb Love... eager to never see that Duke killer ever again.

In this episode, hosts Caleb Dudley and Ranjan Jindal recap Duke's offensive outburst against Stanford and convincing win at Virginia before previewing Saturday's matchup with Illinois at Madison Square Garden. To help learn about the Illini, we welcome on Ben Fader, sports editor of the Daily Illini. With March rapidly approaching, we also discuss some teams we see rising and slipping as the season winds down.

The Duke Blue Devils return to the court on Saturday afternoon when they welcome the Stanford Cardinal to town. We preview the game on DBR Bites #91. Stanford comes in as a decent team, and Jason and Donald are ready for the Cardinal's first visit as ACC members. However, the biggest story is the return of Jaylen Blakes, forever beloved by the Blue Devil faithful. He also returns as arguably the most improved player in the nation. He also has a teammate in Maxime Raynaud who is probably the 2nd best player in the ACC. We go through the rest of the Cardinal players in a departure from our normal order. We also get into the analytics for Stanford. This team has a couple of things they're pretty good at, but there are also some weaknesses. We end with the things that you should watch for as the Blue Devils look to get another win in conference play. Make sure you're following us!

If you have time for some midseason reading, this episode features a pair of interesting author interviews. Former director of athletics and university vice president Dr. Kevin White talks about his new book, “The Good Sport: Reflections On A Full Life In College Sports” which was just released in January 2025, while Duke alum John Feinstein (Class of 1977) discusses the latest on his long list of titles, “Five Banners: Inside The Duke Basketball Dynasty” which was published in October by Duke University Press. Also, we visit with Emily Durham, the program director of Duke's unique Rubenstein Student-Athlete Civic Engagement endeavor, which turns 10 years old this year.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fresh off the Blue Devil's win on the road at Wake, the team is back in Cameron for another in-state rival, the NC State Wolfpack. We all remember what State did to Duke in March last season, but this is a very different club with several new faces and almost everyone in new roles. The Duke Basketball Roundup crew is here with a look at how State's season has gone so far including a deep dive into what is working for them on offense (holding onto the ball and not committing turnovers) and defense (forcing teams to make decisions late in the shot clock). Duke figures to be a big favorite in this contest, but as Wake Forest showed all of us, rivalry games have a way of fooling all the expert predictions. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2024, Duke has defied most expectations after losing head coach Mike Elko to the Texas A&M Aggies, off to a strong 5-1 start under new head coach Manny Diaz — a familiar face to the Seminoles who has managed to keep the Blue Devils rolling up until suffering their first loss of the season to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. While Duke wasn't given much credit for its 5-0 start, failing to crack the Top 25, the team still has a chance to snap the program's always-beaten streak against Florida State. Diaz has brought his signature defensive aggressiveness, with Duke's defense recording 18 sacks, 13 of which come from a deep defensive line led by Vincent Anthony Jr. and defensive tackles Aaron Hall and Kendy Charles. At quarterback, Texas transfer Maalik Murphy has logged thrown for multiple touchdowns in five of six games, while Star Thomas, a transfer from New Mexico State, has emerged as the lead back in a room capable of putting up yards against an FSU defense still trying to find consistency. This week on the Line of Scrimmage podcast, we connected with Donald Wine from the Duke Basketball Roundup to get the inside scoop on the Blue Devils, including: How Manny Diaz has kept things rolling so far in his first year at Duke An inside look at Murphy's game How Thomas rose up as the Blue Devil's lead back What to expect from Duke's offensive line against Florida State's defensive front The impact of Duke's three-headed linebacker attack featuring Alex Howard, Tre Freeman, and Ozzie Nicholas ...and more.

North Carolina managed yet another collapse on the field, losing to Duke on Saturday in a manner that continues to pile up the questions with no answers in sight. Leading 17-0 at halftime and 20-0 half way through the third quarter, the Heels could not stop the Blue Devil surge, leaving Mack Brown and his staff facing increasing heat to change the narrative on the field and off. Inside Carolina's Day After crew of Jason Staples, Buck Sanders and Tommy Ashley attempt to make sense of it all.

Ryan, Channing and Fred sit with JJ Redick to talk about how his life has revolved around hoops since an early age and as many aspects have transcended and faded over time, his love for the game and desire to be close to the sport still drives him everyday. From Duke to the NBA to basketball analyst to podcaster, the guys get JJ to open up in ways he hasn't shared before diving into his who, his why and his how and what's helped propel a white boy from Tennessee to sustain a reputation of respect and stardom in a sometimes unforgiving world of professional basketball and now broadcast television. The recent launch of his podcast “Mind the Game” alongside LeBron James shines a light on JJ's basketball IQ, but on this episode of the Pivot, the guys go far beyond his success on the court and break down where JJ's mindset comes from. With the recent buzz around JJ's next basketball move in possibly becoming the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets, the choice may not be an easy one as the sharp shooter turned media star is fully aware of who he is and the life he's created after basketball through his various platforms and authentic relationships with current and former players alike. Redick knew he wanted to be a Blue Devil after watching the 1992 NCAA championship between Duke and Kentucky, but without cable TV and money to put towards the game, he felt somewhat detached from it, but it was his family who continued to support him to fulfill his childhood dream. JJ found pride in working out of adverse situations, and he talks with the guys about how he developed his motivation and never lost that chip on his shoulder. Channing jokes with JJ about his A-hole type persona that he gives off, understanding Duke basketball players are often viewed as the enemy as JJ shares how he became the center of hate during his time with the Blue Devils. Despite his NCAA scoring title and notoriety, Redick was underestimated coming out of Duke and struggled to find a secure place in the NBA for his first few years but managed to prevail with a 15 year career. Often looking back on what he didn't do vs what he did do, JJ points to several points in his life that he faced hardships, but his awareness, ability to constantly adapt and will to never be out-worked has brought him to the position he is today. Whether it was a missed shot in the 2004 NCAA finals against UConn or a 2009 Orlando Magic NBA Finals run, JJ has always had to bounce back from hard moments but one thing that has never been questioned is who he is as a leader on and off the court. A trusted voice during dark times, an advocate of right vs wrong and an innovator in the media space has elevated JJ to a place of respect and confidence that no matter what he says or does, he stands on it even if it's controversial or the unpopular thing to say. Sharing many similarities with Ryan in his approach to media and journalism with respect to athletes and stories surrounding the game, JJ was the first active NBA player to start a podcast in 2016, and since has become one of the most respected and watched tv analysts. As his massive rise in sports media continues, JJ is now a part of ESPN's No. 1 crew preparing to call the NBA Finals which if he had to predict could be a Denver vs Boston series, although he's not counting out Minnesota just yet.
