Cameron Indoor Stadium to add to new videoboard for 2024

Duke announced Tuesday that there will be a massive new videoboard in Cameron Indoor Stadium set to debut in the fall of 2024. 

Duke announced on Monday that it will add a new video board to Cameron Indoor Stadium, which will debut in the fall of 2024.

The new video board will feature more than 900 square feet of screens for everyone in the arena to see, twice the size of Cameron’s previous display. The new feature will be hung from the center of the building and hang over the court.

Renovations will be ready for next basketball season, and the school has already started to take down the old videoboard. The Duke men’s basketball’s social media posted a farewell to the old screens on Tuesday.

According to a release from the university, the new videoboard will have three seamless displays wrapped around the entire structure or three separate images. The largest screen, the main display, can either show one huge image (such as the action on the court below) or be segmented into different zones, so Blue Devils fans can see replays or live statistics without ever losing track of the game on the court.

The Duke men’s and women’s basketball seasons get underway in November.

Jeremy Roach’s career at Cameron Indoor Stadium in photos

Take a trip down memory lane with the best photos from Jeremy Roach’s four-year career at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Few Duke players have been as integral to Duke’s recent history as Jeremy Roach.

The senior guard and the last remaining starter from the Mike Krzyzewski era was honored during senior night on Saturday, his last home game wearing a Blue Devils jersey.

The 6-foot-2 Virginia native helped lead Duke to a Final Four appearance two seasons ago, and in his final year, he’s shooting 44.2% from beyond the arc and averaging 14.3 points per game.

He finished his final regular season with 1,408 career points, 35th on Duke’s all-time scoring list with a full postseason ahead of him.

Take a trip down memory lane with the best photos from Roach’s career at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where he shared a locker room with some of the most recognizable figures in the program while becoming one himself.

The best photos from Saturday’s game against North Carolina

The best photos from Duke’s final night at Cameron Indoor Stadium in the 2023-24 season.

Duke and the Cameron Crazies got one last game at the beloved stadium on Saturday night.

Duke may have lost to hated rival North Carolina, an 84-79 game doomed by a nightmarish opening five minutes. However, the Blue Devils fans got to fill the bleachers one last time with their face paint and the best outfits of the year.

The game also served as senior night, since it was the last home game of the season. Four-year starter Jeremy Roach was honored for his exceptional Duke career, and Ryan Young and Spencer Hubbard shared the moment as they stood with their teammates and framed jerseys.

Here are the best photos from Duke’s last home game of the 2023-24 season.

Notre Dame pulls away in third quarter to beat Duke

Notre Dame needed to bounce back after a tough home loss to NC State.

Notre Dame needed to bounce back after a tough home loss to NC State. Doing that against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium wasn’t going to be easy. But the Irish got it going at the right time and ended the Blue Devils’ nine-game home winning streak with a 70-62 victory.

The first two-and-a-half quarters saw five ties and eight lead changes. That’s when the Irish (19-6, 9-5) decided to quit messing around. Trailing by three, they scored 14 unanswered points in the third quarter and ultimately outscored the Blue Devils (16-9, 8-6) in that frame, 21-9. The Irish’s lead grew to as much as 15 during the fourth quarter, and they held off a late Devils push for the win.

[autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag], held to a season-low 10 points in the defeat to the Wolfpack, bounced back with 23 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. [autotag]Maddy Westbeld[/autotag] scored 14 points and came within a rebound of a double-double. [autotag]Sonia Citron[/autotag] had 12 points and matched Hidalgo with four steals of her own.

Watch: Duke women’s golfer Phoebe Brinker makes full-court putt during Boston College game

Duke golfer Phoebe Brinker, who was being celebrated for her invite to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, wowed the Cameron Indoor crowd with a crazy full-court putt on Saturday

Duke women’s golf senior Phoebe Brinker was brought onto the court during the Blue Devils men’s basketball game against Boston College on Saturday, and she left a fun memory for every fan in attendance.

Brinker and her teammate, Emma McMyler, were being celebrated for their invite to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in early April.

The Blue Devils asked the star golfers to try and make a full-court putt across the court during the halftime break.

Brinker proceeded to do exactly what you’d expect one of the best collegiate golfers in the country to do in that situation. She drained it, earning a big cheer from the home crowd.

Duke fans will get to see Brinker and McMyler in action for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur during the first weekend of April. It will be Brinker’s third appearance in the event.

The women’s golf team gets back into action next weekend with the Moon Golf Invitational in Melbourne, Florida. The tournament will be played from February 18-20.

Tyler Hansbrough talks about his undefeated record in Cameron Indoor Stadium

Tar Heel legend Tyler Hansbrough talks about his undefeated record in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Not many UNC athletes can say they owned their arch-rival in their home stadium for their collegiate career, but [autotag]Tyler Hansbrough[/autotag] can.

The former Tar Heel dominated many opposing teams’ courts, including the Duke Blue Devils Cameron Indoor Stadium, where he never experienced a loss in front of the Cameron Crazies. An accomplishment that many others can’t say they have done in their career.

Hansbrough was featured as a special guest on Tidal’s League “Run Your Race” podcast, where he sat down with other former Tar Heel and host of the show Theo Pinson. In the episode, Hansbrough shared memories from his playing days, picked with school fans he disliked the most, and revealed the school he almost ended up at.

Hansbrough also took time to share an unblemished record in Cameron Indoor Stadium, taking a jab at the graduating class that never experienced their team beating UNC on their home court.

It is always great to see the legend talking UNC hoops while owning Duke at the same time.

Notre Dame nearly pulls off shocker at Duke

Can’t say the Irish didn’t care about this game.

No one is going to give Notre Dame any moral victories this season, especially when the season has been such a disaster. But all things considered, its game against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium is as close as they’ll get to one this season.

With Mike Krzyzewski on hand to watch former assistant [autotag]Mike Brey[/autotag]’s final game in Durham, the Irish put up way more of a fight than anyone expected. Still, the result was the same as the Blue Devils won, 68-64.

The Irish (10-16, 2-13) fell behind by as much as 14 in the second half, but the Blue Devils (18-8, 9-6) let them hang around. They cut the deficit to four a couple of times before [autotag]JJ Starling[/autotag] hit some big shots to get the team even closer. A 3-pointer with 1:27 left got them within two, and he put them within one on a layup with 35.5 seconds to go. That was as good as it got as Mark Mitchell subsequently hit a corner 3 with 10.8 seconds left to put the Blue Devils up four and essentially ice the contest.

While the Irish did still have a chance, it was a slim, and it quickly became nonexistent. [autotag]Ven-Allen Lubin[/autotag] converted a layup with 3.9 seconds left to bring the deficit back to two. Forced to foul, [autotag]Cormac Ryan[/autotag] sent Tyrese Proctor to the free-throw line. Proctor sank both free throws to erase any remaining doubt.

A surprising theme to this game was only a few double-digit scorers. Future NBA player Kyle Filipowski was the lone such player for the Blue Devils with 22 points. [autotag]Dane Goodwin[/autotag], coming off the bench for the first time this season, had a season-high 25 points on an astounding 11-of-13 shooting. Lubin’s layup in the final seconds brought his scoring total to 10.

Photos of Mike Brey at Cameron Indoor Stadium through the years

Duke holds a special place for the retiring coach.

It always is exciting when Notre Dame visits Duke, but Tuesday’s game will carry more meaning than usual. It will be [autotag]Mike Brey[/autotag]’s final trip to Cameron Indoor Stadium before he retires. The building holds great significance for Brey as Mike Krzyzewski plucked him out of the high school ranks and brought him aboard as an assistant. That move was the beginning of Brey’s long collegiate career, and he couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity.

Since Brey undoubtedly will be filled with memories his entire time inside the stadium, it only makes sense that we do the same. Here are some photos of Brey in Durham in recent years as he coaches against his mentor. Although that mentor retired last year, that won’t cheapen the moment for him. This is where it all began, and he absolutely needs to be there during his final weeks of coaching college basketball:

Duke fans at Cameron Indoor got pumped for North Carolina game by dancing to ‘Everytime We Touch’

They were feeling it.

There have been a lot of big games during the 42 years coach Mike Krzyzewski has spent in Durham, but there are few as weighty as Saturday nights.

His Duke Blue Devils are taking on their preeminent rival in North Carolina with a spot in the national championship game to face Kansas at stake. Krzyzewski is retiring at the conclusion of the season, and Saturday’s contest could be his final one with the team.

What better way for fans to get hyped up than by playing “Everytime We Touch,” the 2006 hit from German techno and Eurodance band Cascada?

The song has been a staple at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium since it was released, and though not every fan could make the trip to New Orleans, those gathered at Cameron on Saturday night went wild when the song came on the loudspeakers.

It may not be the most conventional choice for the anthem of a blue-blood program, but there’s no denying it gets these folks amped up.

Duke is looking to capture its sixth national championship (the prior five have all come under Krzyzewski). It will have to get past a No. 8 seeded Tar Heels team that was likely under-seeded but left no doubt with a run to the Final Four that included a win over No. 1 Baylor.

Those fans at Cameron Indoor will be on the edge of their seats as Krzyzewski looks to extend his career to one final game, but there’s no denying they’re ready to go.

Notre Dame to finish regular season with senior day against Pittsburgh

The Irish have a few things at stake in their home finale.

Notre Dame has seven players who will earn degrees when they graduate in May. No program in college basketball has more players who are about to graduate. They all will be honored for senior day at Purcell Pavilion after they enter the building as Notre Dame players for the final time. Once the pageantry concludes, they will try and help their team defeat Pittsburgh in a crucial game.

It’s been a while since the Irish celebrated a senior day with a lot at stake, but that’s exactly what’s happening. A win not only would give the program a record 15 conference victories, but it also would clinch the second seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament. A loss would mean having to wait for the outcome of the game between Duke and North Carolina, Mike Krzyzewski’s last at Cameron Indoor Stadium. A Tar Heels win after an Irish loss would give the Irish the third seed, but no worse than that.
