#872 - Duke suffers Fears-full loss to Sparty

Ugh, that was awful. Duke suffers its first loss of the 2026-27 season in the Champions Classic to Michigan State, and on Episode 872, we discuss what happened.

Jason and Donald are not happy, and after a quick review of the good, we get to the meat of why Duke was outmuscled, out-toughed, and outmatched against the Spartans. Jeremy Fears had a great game, but it was the guys around him that gave Duke a punch right in the nose…and Duke, in many ways, couldn’t answer the bell. It’s a lesson learned, and it’s time to get back to the grind to get better.
