Duke Basketball Roundup#466 - Duke’s D turns MSG into a Block PartyThe Duke Blue Devils took care of business last night against the Iowa Hawkeyes, winning 74-62 at the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden. It may have been Duke’s best performance all season so far, and Jason and Donald are here to recap it on Episode 466.
Duke’s defense paced the entire effort on the night, with the focus on how Mark Mitchell and Dariq Whitehead really kept All-American Kris Murray at bay for most of the evening. The rest of the defense showed up for the Blue Devils as well, keeping Iowa’s shooters under 40% and keeping them o...

Duke Basketball Roundup#463 - Duke can’t scale Mt. Edey as Purdue down the DevilsDuke's big men looked small against Purdue's mountain of a man, Zach Edey. It would be easy to merely look at the impact Edey has on the game and say that was the reason Duke lost, but the Duke Basketball Report podcast crew dives a bit deeper to figure out what Duke needs to improve upon. The scoring droughts and the lack of perimeter shooting are major causes of concern as is the way Purdue dominated Duke on the boards. But, this is a young squad and they will take important lessons from this game. After the break, the podcast...

But, Duke's young team was up to the task, a testament to the hard work the coaches and players have been putting in.

Obviously, they are raving about Kyle "Mr. Double-Double" Filipowski but also saw a lot to like from several other freshmen who are not playing like this is just their third game in a college uniform. And, though there was a lot to like despite the L, the guys also discuss the problems from this game, including some rather controversial decisions by the referees (cue up a good little rant from Donald and Jason...

While we try to ward off the evil spirits that seem to haunt Duke Basketball players' lower extremities, we also try to find the silver lining in this news. Whitehead likely won't miss more than one or two conference games, and with the whole ACC season available for Whitehead to learn the offense better, he should be in great shape by February and...

And Duke did survive against Syracuse thanks to a huge game from sophs Mark Williams and Jeremy Roach as well as junior captain Wendell Moore, Jr. The three guys who have the most minutes playing in a Duke uniform led the way with a dominant second half both inside and out. And full credit to Syracuse for playing their butts off. This was nothing like the two easy victories Duke had earlier this season over the Orange.

The Florida State game was, for us, one of Duke's best team efforts this season. Nearly all of Duke's rotation players had big days, with highlights in particular from Wendell Moore, Trevor Keels, and Joey Baker. It was a less capable FSU team than Duke normally sees, but even with that, it was good to see Duke keep the pressure on...

Baker had a double-figure scoring night and Coleman brought the intensity and energy that Jason, Donald, and Sam have all known was there but we hadn't seen yet.
