Duke Basketball Corner (2018-19, Ep. 14)
Deep Diving with Jordan Sperber)
(23-3, 11-2)
*Zion blew through his shoe (New Nike Slogan: Just Blew It) 36 seconds into the Duke-Carolina game, and it was mostly rough times from there. With so much being unknown right now as to Zion's health, I thought it would be fun to make a more lasting episode, taking a deep dive into Jordan Sperber's analytics and x's and o's mind. He's carved out his own path in college basketball coverage, a path I'm hopeful others will soon join him on.
*I talk to Jordan about his career, the analytics movement (along with all types of CBB analysis) Game Prep, Duke's offense, and issues with college basketball coverage.
*It's a marathon, and I'm very appreciative of how much time Jordan gave on my pod. Hopefully you'll do the same. Enjoy!
*You can find links below to all of Jordan's work, but the easiest way to have access to everything in one place is by visiting @hoopvision68 on Twitter.
