Duke Basketball Roundup — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 15:27:00 GMT

We’re back with Episode 836 as some schedule news and team updates had us reacting on a Friday morning!

Donald and Jason start off with the reports that the Duke-Michigan game has been canceled due to the dispute Fox and the Big Ten had with Amazon Prime broadcasting the game. Instead, Duke will reportedly face Texas Tech on December 21st at Madison Square Garden. We react to the news that an elite matchup is making way for a still very strong matchup. Army also has announced that their game against Duke will open up the 2026-27 season on November 2nd. We discuss the knowledge that our great matchup against West Point will be the season opener.

After the break, we get into Javin DeLaurier coming back to Duke to serve as a player development assistant for the team. Having members of The Brotherhood come back to help out the current team is always welcomed, and we love Javin in this role. We then get into the heights and weights for the 2026-27 team that were released yesterday. Biggest note: we have some SIZE. We end by sending some love to one of our own after an unspeakable tragedy.
