A little too close for comfort but Duke demonstrates "survive and advance" is what really matters in March as they take down the stubborn FSU Seminoles 80-79. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down what was a very unusual game for the Blue Devils. This was not the Duke team we have been watching lately as the Blue Devils really struggled on defense. Luckily, Isaiah Evans was in rare Showtime Slim mode as he set numerous career highs and carried the offense at times. Duke also ruled the rebounds, with a big shout out to Maliq Brown on the offensive boards. Next up, Clemson as the DBR Podcast and the Blue Devils roll on! Learn more about your ad choices.

Duke has two key players who are injured in Caleb Foster and Pat Ngongba. We discuss the updates on their health from Jon Scheyer and preview the ACC Tournament on DBR Bites #151. Jon Scheyer held a press conference today to update the media on the status of CFos and Big Pat. CFos - out for the foreseeable future with a fractured foot. Big Pat - resting his sore foot and hopefully should be ready for the NCAA Tournament. We hear from Coach about who could take over some of the point guard duties should Cayden Boozer need a breather during a game and how the coaching staff has helped him be the best coach in the ACC. We then get to a preview of the ACC Tournament, focusing in on Duke’s potential quarterfinal opponents, Cal or Florida State.

Just days after Jon Scheyer told the Countdown crowd that Jayson Tatum would be involved with this year's Duke team, it has been formally announced that the First Team All-NBA superstar will be Duke's first ever Chief Basketball Officer.

Tatum makes it clear that he wants to take an active role in the lives and development of the Duke players. Who better to teach you how to reach the very top of the basketball world than a guy who is standing right there at this very moment?After the break, Jason (Evans) and Donald get into a couple other items of note...

Duke Football demolished the Syracuse Orange 38-3 over the weekend, and we’re here to react to it on Episode 755! Donald and Jason are here to take you through a recap of the thorough beatdown of the Orange, beginning with the defense pitching a near shutout on the afternoon. Their pride in playing tough defense all the way down to the final series was something to behold. We also get into the offense, led by Nate Sheppard’s more than 200 all-purpose yards. He was a monster with the ball in his hands, and the rest of the offense did great as well. Despite the lopsided score, it wasn’t a perfect game. We get into the stuff to work on as they get ready to head to the West Coast to face Cal next weekend. But, if you look at Duke’s schedule, things are lining up well for them.
