YouTube Gold: The End Of The 2016 Villanova-UNC NCAA Title Game
One of the greatest endings of an NCAA championship game, and possibly the greatest, was the 2016 Villanova-UNC epic, which played out in Houston’s NRG Stadium. It was a tremendous game, but what people remember best are the final two plays. After Villanova’s Josh Hart put the Wildcats up 74-71 at the free throw line, […]
Cameron Boozer Goes To Memphis At #3, While Isaiah Evans Falls To The Second Round
Cameron Boozer was taken with the #3 pick by the Memphis Grizzlies in Monday night’s NBA Draft, after Washington took BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, and Utah chose Kansas’s Darryn Peterson second. It’s a good situation for Boozer. He’ll be on a frontline with 7-4 Zach Edey, who is even stronger, and who can back him up […]
NCAA Set To Adopt New Age & Eligibility Rules
In one of the bigger changes in recent NCAA history, and that’s saying a lot, the cartel is set to adopt a new age policy: players will get five years of eligibility, starting when they are 19. There will be no more redshirts, and it may change the options for some kids who have been […]
Brotherhood Podcast #75 Is Out!
The latest episode of the Brotherhood Podcast is out, and this one is pretty cool: it’s Sion James interviewing John Blackwell. Both of them followed similar paths to Duke, transferring after three years at Tulane, in James’ case, and Wisconsin in Blackwell’s. James probes Blackwell a bit about his background, what he thought when he […]
May’s Departure Was A Big Deal. Could Scheyer Follow?
After news broke Monday that Dusty May took the Dallas Mavericks job, there was a certain amount of discussion about Duke’s Jon Scheyer. The Mavericks clearly took a run at Scheyer – several apparently, hoping to reunite him with Cooper Flagg – but he turned them down every time, and ultimately, they settled on May. […]

YouTube Gold: Duke vs. Michigan, 2026
Duke and Michigan have a longer history than a lot of people realize. The Blue Devils and Wolverines clashed in twice in the 1963-64 season, with Michigan winning at home, 83-67 on December 21. Michigan’s defense was called “the Bloody Nose Alley,” and the late Jay Buckley was seen as Duke’s weak link (this resulted […]
Mike Boynton Reportedly Taking Over Michigan After Dusty May Takes Mavericks Job
After news broke that Dusty May was taking the Dallas Mavericks job, or at least after the shock wore off, the immediate question was: who’s next in Ann Arbor? According to Pete Thamel, it’s assistant Mike Boynton, assuming the parties can come to an agreement. And why wouldn’t they? Boynton was head coach at Oklahoma […]
Duke Adds A West Coast Game & The Michigan Game Suddenly Devalued
Looks like Duke will play Washington State on Saturday, November 21, in the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California. That’ll be a fun road trip and a good draw for West Coast Blue Devil fans. However, that’s not the big news. What is the big news? It’s that ESPN is reporting that Michigan’s Dusty May […]
Some Duke Basketball Summer Videos
We’re at the point in the summer when Duke is sending out basketball videos, and that’s always a lot of fun. The first video we have focuses on transfer John Blackwell, who is mostly paired with Deron Rippey, so you get double value. There are a lot of other guys in there as well in […]
Duke Recruiting: Double Kyries?
Okay, that’s asking a bit much. As it turns out though, former Duke star Kyrie Irving’s sister had twins, and they’re getting close to college-age now. They’re in the class of 2029, and Keethon and Daceton Demarce are both point guards. And when you look at this video, you can see their uncle’s influence. They’re […]

Twitter Gold: Khaman Maluach On Draft Night
For most guys who are selected, NBA Draft night is a dream come true. Everyone has worked very hard to get there, and it’s a tremendous accomplishment simply to be chosen. Obviously, it’s emotional. But it’s hard to imagine it being more emotional for anyone than it was last year for Duke’s Khaman Maluach. Keep […]
DBR Bites #167 – JBB Balls Out in Team USA Tryouts
Guess who is back from vacation? Jason Evans returns to the DBR Podcast just in time to talk a bit about his favorite semi-international Dukie, Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje. JBB was trying out for the Team USA U17 World Cup team this past week and we got some good intel on how his game stacked up […]
JJ Redick Has Done A Brilliant Job With L.A., But Things Could Get Rocky Soon
Remember when the Los Angeles Lakers hired former Duke star JJ Redick? There were a lot of people who predicted failure, that he had no experience, that they should have gone after a more established coach, say, Sam Cassell, or Kenny Atkinson, or UConn’s Dan Hurley, for whom they were ready to open the vault. […]

Twitter Gold: Scott Van Pelt On The Death Of Len Bias
Maryland’s great Len Bias died 40 years ago Friday after doing way too much cocaine following the 1986 NBA Draft. Red Auerbach, as usual, outsmarted the rest of the league, trading Gerald Henderson to Seattle in 1984 to get the pick. He had no way of knowing how things would pan out, obviously, but he […]
A Boumtje Boumtje Interview
No matter how you look at it, Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje has had a great 2026 so far. He was on the recruiting radar of course, but wasn’t as prominent as he might have been had he played stateside. Nonetheless, he blew up and after being pursued by the biggest names in college basketball, Boumtje Boumtje […]

Darren Harris Update
Like most Duke fans, we were really sorry to see Darren Harris go. He’s got a lot of potential. In the past, he was the sort of guy who would emerge around his junior season and become a key contributor. We are in the NIL/portal era now, and it’s very much a dog-eat-dog/sink or swim […]
YouTube Gold: A Young Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley first came to attention as an Auburn Tiger. No one cared about him in high school. First, he was from a very small town (Leeds, Alabama, population around 12,000), and second, he was overweight, and third, he didn’t really grow until he was nearly a senior, and even then, was only recruited when […]
Zach Lowe Has The Boozer Epiphany
Back when Tim Duncan was in college at Wake Forest, people would watch him and think, what’s all the fuss about? Then they’d look at the boxscore and see 26 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 5 assists. In person, he was sort of boring because he never did anything flashy. He was just incredibly […]
DBR Podcast #830 – NBA Draft Preview: Maliq Brown (w/ Jay Bilas)
The NBA Draft Preview series concludes on Episode 830 as we discuss the final Duke player eligible for the draft, Maliq Brown. Once again, Jay Bilas is back to speak on Maliq’s qualities and how his game translates to the next level. He obviously needs to continue to work on his offense, but can his […]
