    #617 - Houston Preview Part 2: Tough and Relentless

    We continue our preview of the Houston Cougars on Episode 617 as we get ready for tomorrow night!
    The Duke Blue Devils will have their hands full tomorrow night against the Coogs, and Donald and Jason go through their normal preview format as we figure out how Duke can win this Sweet 16 matchup. The two things that have been used the most to describe Houston: tough and relentless. It's present in everything they do, and it's why they've walked into the Big XII and dominated in season 1. They have so many big wins that we can't even list them all! The only team that has figured out the Coogs has been Iowa State, and we break down what has made Houston so successful against everybody else.
    The metrics on this team are off the charts. They have arguably the best defense in the country and their offense is no slouch either. There are a ton of things that they do well but no team is perfect. Houston has a couple of spots where Duke can take advantage.
    After the break, we get to the players and break them down individually. Who will Houston rely on the most? How does Kelvin Sampson rotate his guys and where could Duke take them out of their game? We discuss it all to conclude our preview.

    #616 - Houston Preview Part 1 with the Voice of the Coogs

    #616 - Houston Preview Part 1 with the Voice of the Coogs

    The Duke Blue Devils are preparing for their Sweet 16 matchup with the Houston Cougars, so we begin Part 1 of our preview by welcoming Jeremy Branham from Houston Basketball Radio to Episode 616!
    Branham is the voice of Cougars Basketball and has had the best seat in the house this season for Houston. So, he has a great perspective of what has made Houston so successful this season, their first in the Big XII. Branham tells us what has made Houston so good this year, and the main theme is: toughness. Houston is tough and relentless, especially on defense. It carries over to the offense, where their guard play has been tremendous. Branham talks about some of the players who have made Houston go all season long. They may not be tall, but they’re athletic, they’re mobile, and they will try to use their physicality to grind you down.
    We also get into what Houston may be worried about when they hit the court against Duke. Who are the Duke players that will give them nightmares? Branham tells us who Kelvin Sampson and the Cougars will likely focus on Friday night in Dallas.

    #615 - Recap of the Rout! Duke Destroys Dukes!

    #615 - Recap of the Rout! Duke Destroys Dukes!

    One day after Duke's thrashing of James Madison and the Duke Basketball Roundup is still basking in the glow of that impressive 38 point victory. Donald is back along with Jason to talk about the many ways the Blue Devils found success in this game, from the shooting to the passing to the defense to the rebounding. There wasn't really any area of the game where Duke did not dominate the Dukes. And be sure to stick around for the longest play of the game conversation in DBR Podcast history! Also, be on the lookout over the next couple days for multiple previews of the big game this Friday against Houston in the Sweet 16. March is the busiest time of year for the Duke Basketball Roundup!

    DBR Bites #39 - Instant Reaction to Duke Dismantling James Madison

    DBR Bites #39 - Instant Reaction to Duke Dismantling James Madison

    How sweet (16) it is! Duke walloped the Dukes of James Madison in a game that was dominated by the Blue Devils from the opening minutes. The Duke Basketball Roundup is going to have a full recap in their usual style tomorrow, but Jason and special guest Scott Rich wanted to hop on right away after the game was over to give a little instant reaction to the victory. Obviously, the story of the game was Jared McCain raining threes from all over the floor, breaking James Madison's spirit but the podcast guys also have tons of praise for Duke's overall effort, especially on the defensive end of the floor. And in addition to McCain, Jason and Scott say a bunch of other Dukies are deserving of our praise after what may have been the team's best win of the entire season. Peaking at the right time and headed to Dallas for the Sweet 16!!
    Note - Jason had some microphone problems in this episode. He promises to get it fixed by tomorrow when he records the full recap with Donald.

    #614 - Vanquishing Vermont!

    #614 - Vanquishing Vermont!

    It wasn't a nail biter, but it wasn't exactly easy either. Still, the Blue Devils turned up the defensive pressure and survived the first round of the NCAA tournament with a victory over a game Vermont Catamounts club. The latest episode of the Duke Basketball Roundup dives into the combinations and strategies that helped Duke win their R64 game and live to fight another day. Jason and Donald have effusive praise for the Duke D and for the way the team shared the ball on offense. After the break, the guys delve into what worked in this contest that can be translated to Duke's next opponent, James Madison, a smaller conference team that is largely untested but which appears to have several very dangerous elements that can pose problems for any team in the land.

    #613 - How to Corral the Catamounts

    #613 - How to Corral the Catamounts

    March Madness is here, and Duke begins its journey on Friday. We preview their opponent, the Vermont Catamounts, on Episode 613.
    Donald and Jason begin by examining Vermont's record, who they've played, and historically how they've done under coach John Becker. The short answer: they've been stellar the past decade plus! We discuss some of the teams they've played and use that to move into the metrics. What does Vermont do well? What do they struggle with? It's a stark difference between their offense and their defense.
    After the break, we break down some of the key players to watch on Vermont's team and what they bring to the table. They have a lot of experience and they play a lot of guys for considerable minutes, and we discuss the individual players and how they match up against Duke. We also take a look at what Duke needs to do in order to win this game and advance to the Round of 32. We end the pod by highlighting a new podcast that we're excited to listen to featuring a beloved member of The Brotherhood.

Perfect companion to following a season

The Duke Basketball Roundup podcast makes following college basketball more fun for me. Watching a team grow during the course of a College basketball season is a fun fan experience and Jason and Donald help me notice and appreciate details that enhance that. They share stats and tell stories for an entertaining mix of analytics and narrative. Sometimes they get audio from interviews in the locker room or the postgame press conference. Sometimes they have guests like Kenny Dennard, Jay Bilas, or the parents of a player. They also use features like the season-long stats game, fan headlines, play of the game, and player of the week to give their episodes structure and focus. Great show.
