Jeremy Roach takes questions from the media on Episode 243 of the DBR Podcast! Sam, Jason, and Donald begin the episode by hearing some of the answers from Jeremy Roach's media availability Tuesday, and we recap what Roach had to say about the team, including his role on the team, who he thinks the go-to guys will be, and what playing in the backcourt with Jordan Goldwire is like. After the break, we discuss ESPN ruling out college teams playing their multi-team events at the Wide World of Sports campus in Orlando, including the Champions Classic. How will those games be played and who's to blame for these games being in jeopardy? We also debate an ages old question: jello or spaghetti?

Duke basketball assistant coach Jon Scheyer took questions from the media this week and the Duke Basketball Report was there to listen in and ask a few ourselves. He tells us who the best player has been in practice thus far, how deep the team will go this year, and which freshman is surprising him with their play. Plus, we think we finally know the full non-conference schedule and it is... well... not exactly inspiring. Finally, we cannot go without a shout out to the most dangerous Dukie around, a former player who is now an Special Ops Army Ranger. Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a nice discussion on a popular debate on this 241st episode of the DBR Podcast! We start off with excerpts from the media availability with Matthew Hurt. Hurt answers questions on how he gained some muscle in the offseason, what he thinks it will do for his game, and his ability to be able to be versatile on both offense and defense on a deep Duke Blue Devils team. We then shift gears to recap Duke Football's loss to the NC State Wolfpack over the weekend. After the break, we read a review from listener Stormrunner107, who asks us a very deep question: who is the best Duke player of all time? We discuss our picks and why those players are the best Duke players to ever put on the school's uniform.

Another week, another interview with a current Duke player. This time is the DJ Steward who tells us about how the team is shaping up and reveals which player has been the most impressive in practices so far (hint: his name sorta sounds like Hatthew Murt). Plus, we dive into the NCAA's latest moves to reshape the sport including word that they are granting everyone and extra year of eligibility, which could mean we see guys like Jordan Goldwire and Patrick Tape on the roster next season. And on the heels of their first victory of the season, the football Blue Devils travel down the road to NC State. We preview the matchup and tell you what Duke needs to do to build a winning streak.

On this episode of the DBR Podcast, we discuss a little nonconference schedule, the NBA Finals, and a clip from JJ Redick on why he's the most hated of the recent Duke players! We begin with the report that Duke will not play Howard in the showcase that is being put together, but rather we will play Elon and Bellarmine. After reactions to that, we move onto the NBA Finals, which were set to debut at the time of recording. Who has the edge, the Lakers or the Heat? After the break, we discuss a clip from JJ Redick to Grayson Allen about who was the most hated player. JJ recalls a particular game where he encountered a ton of well-documented abuse.
