Meanwhile, the team's Instagram account released a new series of posts called “Get Familiar,” introducing fans to the players, both returning and new. The posts highlighted various aspects of the players' personalities, such as one player's ability to bake banana bread and another's aspiration to be an F1 driver if not for basketball. The podcast also discussed Foster's relationship with the team and his connection to the Carolina Blue Devils (CBO). Additionally, a CBS Sports poll revealed that many coaches ranked Duke as the best team in the country entering the preseason. The podcast encouraged listeners to follow Duke on various social media platforms and affiliate links to support the show.",
