Podcasts about Blue Devils

Episode 723 is a sad one as we say goodbye to three Duke Blue Devils who are either headed to the NBA or entering the transfer portal as a grad transfer. Jordan Brenner from the Underdogs Podcast joins Donald with Jason still out on international duty. The big story is Cooper Flagg officially announcing that he is leaving Duke for the NBA, where he will presumably be the #1 pick in the NBA Draft in June. We look back at his historic year where he was the best player in college basketball and was just a ton of fun to watch. Jordan and Donald discuss which teams could be a good or intriguing fit for Cooper as he heads to the next level. We also touch on Tyrese Proctor declaring for the NBA Draft. He had a monster year for Duke, a redemption year for the Aussie assassin. He is a player who NBA teams really do need and we look forward to seeing who decides to take him. The 3 and D attributes only tell some of the tale about how he can impact a franchise. Finally, Stanley Borden will graduate from Duke next month, and he has decided to take a graduate year somewhere else. Despite not scoring a point for Duke, he was a fan favorite, and we show him some love as he departs the program to try and get some playing time in his final year of eligibility.

We return with Episode 721 as we discuss Kon Knueppel declaring for the NBA Draft and Sion James' academic honors. With Jason flying the friendly skies, Scott Rich is back to join Donald as they take a look back at Kon II's incredible season in a Duke uniform. The kid that was very much overlooked by many is set to be a likely top 10 pick when the NBA Draft takes place in June. We're so excited for him and so proud at how he left a legacy in his one season in Durham. After the break, we turn to Sion James, who was named an Academic All-American the other day. We're just so lucky to have had Sion James at Duke, and he (along with Kon) will be the part of the blueprint of the program for years to come. He was a star on the court, but he was even better off the court and in the community. Make sure you're following us!

The nation's best basketball conference supplied half the teams in the Final Four. Bravo, SEC. The SEC lived up to the hype throughout March Madness, taking the Sweet 16, Elite Eight and now Final Four by storm.

The Duke Blue Devils are in the Elite 8 after beating the Arizona Wildcats in the Sweet 16! We recap the victory and prepare for the Alabama Crimson Tide on Episode 711! The Arizona game was a tough game, but Duke was able to get through with some key plays on both offense and defense. Donald and Jason take you through it all, highlighting where Duke succeeded and where they could improve. The referees were a big topic of discussion from this game, and we bring in a college referee to help explain why some of the calls were tough ones to make. We then preview our game against Alabama, which is another difficult team to play. They play faster than everyone in the country, and they're coming off a game where they hit the most 3s in a game in NCAA Tournament history. We break down where they're good and where Duke can have an advantage as we get ready for Saturday night. Make sure you're following us!

Bring home the W with the ultimate tailgate package. The Burger Box from Whataburger is perfect for every occasion. It comes with 10 single or double burgers (with or without cheese), your pick of sauces and all the fixings (which you can customize — did someone say grilled jalapeños?). Keep it basic or go wild, it'll be a slam dunk. Order online from April 4-7 and earn double reward points.(0:00-11:32) Intro: Jeremy Pruitt suing NCAA(11:33-13:14) Whataburger(13:15-19:27) Recapping Thursday's Games(19:28-22:16) Previewing Tonight's Games(22:17-29:30) What will Kevin Willard do?(29:31-30:53) Kent State coach placed on leave(30:54-48:07) How attractive is the Stanford job?(48:08-55:05) On campus CFP games in the Quarterfinals?(55:06-58:30) TV Deals for NCAA instead of Conferences?(58:31-1:07:22) Speculation in May? (1:07:23-1:08:12) ConclusionOn Thursday, former Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt sued the NCAA for $100 million. One particular coach working Friday in the NCAA Tournament is probably the NCAA's best defense in the lawsuit. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl faced a similar situation and re-emerged and got a new job even before his NCAA penalties expired. One coach was good at Tennessee and one coach wasn't. That's the difference. Half the Elite Eight is set, and we've got four incredible games on Friday. On Thursday, Duke survived a scare from Arizona with an all-timer from freshman Cooper Flagg. The Blue Devils move on to face Alabama, which set an NCAA Tournament record for three-pointers made. Florida wore out Maryland, and the top-seeded Gators will face Texas Tech, which stormed back from a huge deficit to force overtime and then beat Arkansas in the extra period. Friday, we've got Kentucky-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Michigan State, Michigan-Auburn and Purdue-Houston. We're also on Kevin Willard watch. Will he take the Villanova job or stay at Maryland? Meanwhile, college football news keeps coming. Kent State coach Kenni Burns was placed on administrative leave. Next, Andy and Ari answer your questions, including… How good is the Stanford job? Is it possible the College Football Playoff quarterfinals could move to campus? Watch us LIVE, M-F, on YouTube here: https://youtube.com/live/OK_9FpK_CSs Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

The Duke Blue Devils are in the Sweet 16, and a second date looms with the Arizona Wildcats. We preview that game on DBR Bites #101. We get started with our episode by paying tribute to a dear member of Jason's family and a beloved regular guest of the pod, Cameron. Jason shares some incredible words on the loss of his best buddy. Cameron will be missed by us all. We then get into the analysis of Arizona and how they've improved since we last saw them in Tucson back in November. We give the ins and outs of what they do best and what it will take to beat them. We also discuss some postseason awards and Blue Devils that are involved in them. Jon Scheyer is a finalist for the Naismith National Coach of the Year Award and has a good chance to win it. We also give more praise to Cooper Flagg as he wins the Oscar Robertson Award and Waymon Tisdale Award as the USBWA's National Player of the Year and National Rookie of the Year.
