Twitter Gold: What Else Could It Possibly Be?
Well, there’s really not much choice for tonight’s Gold – Ashlon Jackson made sure of that. Duke was in great shape in the fourth quarter against LSU when the Tigers made a tremendous comeback, outscoring Duke 10-0 down the stretch to take an 85-84 lead. Duke took one shot and missed, and then had just […]
Duke Gets A Stunning Last-Second Win Over LSU In The Women’s Sweet 16
If you haven’t seen it yet, stop here and go look at the final play in Duke’s insane 87-85 win over LSU in the women’s Sweet 16. It doesn’t have quite the majesty of Christian Laettner’s legendary buzzer beater against Kentucky, but it’s arguably the best buzzer beater in the women’s game since Charlotte Smith’s […]
Duke Wins A Thriller Over St. John’s, Moves On To Elite Eight
Duke and St. John’s put on a Sweet 16 classic, and while it was a bit ragged in spots, both teams played like champions. Only one could move on though, and it was Duke, as the Blue Devils prevailed, 80-75. And it was anything but easy. Like any Rick Pitino team, St. John’s gets after […]
ACC Coaches: UNC Search Continues, State Got Burned, And BC Found Their Guy
It’s been an interesting few days in the Triangle. First, UNC made a huge break with tradition and fired Hubert Davis, a member of Dean Smith’s family system, and Will Wade bailed on NC State after just a year on the job. Let’s start with State, where fans are livid. Well, with all due respect: […]
Friday’s Sweet 16 Notes
Quite a night in the NCAA tournament as #9 Iowa beat #4 Nebraska, 77-71, and #3 Illinois hammered #2 Houston, 65-55. They’ll play in the finals in the South. Meanwhile, #1 Arizona throttled #4 Arkansas, 109-88, and #2 Purdue beat #11 Texas, 79-77. They’ll meet in the finals in the West. The early games were […]

You Tube Gold: Knueppel Record Assault Continues
As the NCAA tournament moves towards the Elite Eight and the Final Four in just a few days, some attention is being spent on the NBA Draft. Duke’s Carlos Boozer is racking up a massive haul of awards, and his numbers are historic. Yet we hear constantly that he’s not athletic enough to prosper in […]
Caleb Foster Update: He May Play Friday vs. St. John’s
Last week, Duke got Pat Ngongba back from his foot injury, and now it looks like there’s a reasonable chance – not great, but reasonable chance – that Caleb Foster could play against St. John’s. He’s been on the court in D.C. today, shooting around, and Duke coach Jon Scheyer says it’ll be a game […]
News Flash: Will Wade Set To Leave NC State, Go Back To LSU
Well, this is a surprise – not. Will Wade is bailing on NC State after one season to return to LSU, the school he worked for when the program got caught up in the FBI/Adidas scandal. LSU will now employ Wade, Lane Kiffin, and Kim Mulkey, which, objectively, is hilarious. It reminds one of Jess […]
Sweet 16 Notes And More
We say more because we must start at home in the Triangle, where one good coaching change apparently deserves another: yes, after the Hubert Davis drama has turned to who will replace him, the drama has moved over to NC State, where rumors of Will Wade’s return to LSU have significantly heated up. It would […]

Twitter Gold: Jai Lucas With His Team After Losing In The NCAA Tourney
For people who pay attention to such things, Jai Lucas has been on the radar for some time. People have said for a long time that he has that hard-to-define “It” quality. We sort of caught on when we saw him seriously coaching at a Coach K Fantasy Camp game. Everyone else was relaxed, but […]
DBR Bites #155 – Setting The Stage For St. John’s

Next Up – St. John’s For The 2026 Elite Eight
Date || 3/27 || Time 7:10 || Venue Capital One Arena || Video CBS Duke has a bit of a history with Rick Pitino. Most obviously, Duke beat his very gutty 1992 Kentucky team that forced overtime in the Elite Eight, which led to Christian Laettner’s iconic shot and a legendary 104-103 win. That’s not […]

YouTube Gold: Greatest Upset In NCAA Tournament History?
In the history of the NCAA tournament, there have only been two 16 seeds to win. First, there was UMBC’s stunning victory over Virginia in 2018. The coach of that team, Ryan Odom, now coaches the Cavaliers. The other was in 2023, when Fairleigh Dickinson knocked off Purdue. FDU’s coach, Tobin Anderson, amused the basketball […]
UNC Fires Hubert Davis
UNC sent out a press release on Tuesday night, confirming that Hubert Davis will no longer coach UNC’s basketball team. In his statement, Davis said he wanted to keep coaching at UNC, and hoped to be coaching again soon. Carolina said that it will commence a nationwide search, all but confirming a break with the […]

Cameron Boozer Brings Home More Hardware
It was a big day for Cameron Boozer, as Duke’s sensational freshman won both the Oscar Robertson Trophy and the Wayman Tisdale Award. Both are awarded by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. Only five guys have ever done that before, and two of them went to Duke: Zion Williamson did it in 2019, and Cooper […]

Hubert Davis Update
The Hubert Davis watch continues, but all we have so far are bread crumbs to guide us into the coaching thicket at UNC. Three intriguing developments: first, the final Hubert Davis Show of the year was canceled. Second, post-season meetings with UNC players have been postponed. And third, Elijah Davis, Hubert’s son who is on […]
Twitter Gold: Iowa Fans In Heaven
As Duke fans, we’re all used to a certain level of success. Making the Sweet 16 is good, the Elite Eight is better, Final Four is great, but we all look for titles. Same for Kansas, Kentucky, UConn, and UNC, though not so much there lately. Not every school has the track records that those […]
Are NIL Reforms Possible?
The reality of NIL and the transfer portal is that it’s made competing for talent much more difficult. That leaves how to make talent work together aside for the moment, but that’s a topic for another discussion. The latest coach to bring this up is UCLA’s Mick Cronin. After losing to UConn, he was asked […]
