#862 - Duke Rocks Tennessee’s Top!

Well, that was fun! Duke absolutely destroys Tennessee 103-64 in their second preseason contest, and we have to discuss it on Episode 862! The ACC preseason polls and awards are out, and Duke is expected to be #1 in the conference. On top of that, several players earned nods for All-ACC teams and awards. Donald and Jason discuss how Duke stacks up against the rest of the ACC and who the writers think are the players that will stand out this season.  Recording just a couple hours after the game ended, Jason and Donald talk about how well Duke played on both ends of the floor, from the individual standouts to the team defense. A 39-point blowout of the preseason #8 team? Everything was coming up Duke Blue as the Volunteers got rocked! It wasn’t a perfect game despite the score. We also discuss what we can work on as we progress through the preseason. We also get into the AP preseason polls for both men’s and women’s basketball. Both teams are ranked very high in the polls, and both have a loaded schedule, including non-conference games against most of the top 10. Both Scheyer and Lawson said they will take all the smoke that they can handle, and then some!  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/duke-basketball-roundup--7421881/support.
