Joey Baker (Duke) Burns Redshirt
- Thread starter Hank_
- Start date
Yeah, that was weird. Plus, they called 2 fouls on Duke all half until they start fouling intentionally and K still spends halftime losing his mind on the officials.
Has Bolden or White even played? Baker reclassified and then redshirted and now that redshirt is gone. K seems desperate.
Pretty much. White has been AIDS since the first Syracuse game but was getting starter minutes before. Dude is broken. Bolden I can't explain, like at all.
Yeah, not sure if they just decided since it was late in the shot clock they wouldn't call it or what.
Nope. Just a typical college basketball fan who somehow believes that the refs favor Duke. Except when provided facts that they don’t. Then you would be a UNC fan.
RJ faked that dude out of his shoes. Well, maybe not out of his shoes.
Yeah, that one little run was probably the difference. Not looking forward to your zone and length next game.
If UNC wins by less than 15 I'll be shocked. Cuse cannot keep up with Carolina at all.
Looked like a basketball team in the first half. Looked like the bums we are in the second half.
Cuse is offensively inept and it's frustrating

Did you just laugh at your own joke? In the same post as said joke?
Was intended to accentuate the mild inappropriateness, not imply humor.
Obviously, not successfully, lol.

So what if Baker used his redshirt?
If he is good enough to matter, he likely won’t be around four or five years.
If he isn’t, it won’t matter that he used it.
Kid was a top recruit, is smart, and can shoot. I’d keep him active this year for sure.

Yeah, I mean, in the highly unlikely event that he should want the option to go to grad school for free, it would definitely be worth forgoing to play 5 minutes a game for 3 games in February while the best player on the team rests his knee.
YOLO
I'm one that thinks that it was probably a short sighted decision.
I'd imagine K definitely asked him, and it's ultimately the kid's decision, so I'm not blaming anyone. But, that doesn't mean it was a good move. Duke is just kind of in a (minor) bind with Zion out and Jack White forgetting how to shoot a basketball.
Interesting. Not the story I read from Duke insiders, but go with what makes you feel better.
I have all ideas that the decision to play Baker has more to do with Jack White and very little to do with Zion.
It is far too early to say whether it was a good or bad decision. And it is pretty ridiculous to say it was a selfish move by Krzyzewski. (Not saying that you are saying that.)
It doesn't affect me, either way. But I cant say it's shocking you didn't read my opinion on DI.
For sure, I just threw in the Zion part because theres less need for an extra body if he's healthy and AOC plays like he did last night.
Seems like a desperate move and unnecessary when Duke isn’t in a place they need to make desperate moves. I think at best Coach K wants another scoring option and using Williamson on the bench as a chance to develop one.
Realistically it’s not impossible he contributes to this team, but it’s hard to believe he’d make any difference.
