Duke Basketball is making headlines again, and Episode 822 of the DBR Podcast dives into all the action. If the last episode was all about recruiting, this one is packed with news that has Blue Devils fans buzzing.

First up, Duke has inked a groundbreaking deal with Amazon Prime to broadcast three showcase non-conference games on the streaming platform as part of a multiyear agreement. Mark your calendars for the 2026-27 season, where the Blue Devils will face off against UConn, Michigan, and Gonzaga. This historic move not only highlights Duke's commitment to a powerhouse non-conference schedule but also sets the stage for must-watch matchups that will have fans on the edge of their seats.

But that's not all—the podcast also celebrates a major milestone for former Duke standout Cooper Flagg, who edged out his former roommate Kon Knueppel to win the NBA's Rookie of the Year award. Both players had banner seasons, and the DBR team takes a moment to sing their praises for representing Duke at the highest level.

Of course, no episode would be complete without a little shade. The crew doesn't hold back their criticism of the NCAA's reported plans to expand the NCAA Tournaments to 76 teams. It's a move that has fans and analysts alike questioning the direction of college basketball.
