Live Scouting Duke vs. North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium

In the latest episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, host Rafael Barlowe and guest Krysten Peek discuss the shocking Luka Dončić trade and reflect on where they were when they first heard the news. The main focus of the episode, however, is Peek’s firsthand experience attending the Duke vs. North Carolina showdown at Cameron Indoor Stadium—widely considered the best rivalry in college basketball. Barlowe mentions that witnessing a game there is a bucket-list experience for him, while Peek shares her takeaways from the electric atmosphere and what she observed from top prospects. The duo breaks down standout performances, including Cooper Flagg’s two-way dominance, Kon Knueppel’s shooting, and Tyrese Proctor’s impact for Duke. They also discuss North Carolina’s undersized lineup, which featured four players under 6’4” facing Duke’s massive starting five, all listed at 6’6” or taller. Additionally, they analyze the play of North Carolina freshmen Ian Jackson and Drake Powell, both of whom have first-round potential.
