DBR Bites #134 - How To See The Cardinal Through The Trees
from Duke Basketball Roundup · host Duke Basketball Roundup
The Duke Blue Devils remain in the Bay Area on their West Coast road trip, and a date looms tomorrow against the Stanford Cardinal. Donald and Scott Rich preview the upcoming game on DBR Bites #134. Stanford is doing well this season, and they are coming off an upset win on Wednesday night against UNC. Duke hopes to buck the trend of ACC teams failing to go 2-0 on their Bay Area road trips, and Donald and Scott go through how they can do that with a win against the Cardinal. Rebounding will be a key, but also they need to figure out how to stop Ebuka Okorie, who had a career night against the Tar Heels and is one of the best players in the country. After the preview, the NCAA may have done something right! They have changed the dates of the transfer portal for men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and men’s hockey, and it will now open the day after the national championship games for those sports. We discuss the NCAA finally doing the bare minimum in shifting the portal dates so it doesn’t make coaches have to try and recruit during the NCAA Tournament. Make sure you’re following us!
