RJ Barrett

I’m guessing Zion could have played 3 days after his shoe blew apart.
I’m thinking now that he decided he wasn’t playing until the postseason started.
Duke will now get the one seed in Louisville, and if we don’t win the SEC Tournament, we’ll be the 2 seed in the West.

Rj Barrett has more points than any freshman in acc history and the 4th triple double in duke history.
And no one cares but you.
The real loser here is Reddish. Dude is on the side of a milk carton when the other two are both in the game.
Cool. How many attempts?
Duke is an odd team because they’re pretty much only 2-3 players, but they’re a very good 2-3 players.
Could we maybe tack all the Duke threads into one single thread?
Play him A foot outside his left shoulder and he’s averages 10-12 a game.
I just looked it up. Holy hell, Barrett averages 19 shot attempts per game.
For comparison, Tyler Herro averages 11 attempts per game and PJ Washington averages 10. Malik Monk and Jamal Murray, two of the most prolific, green-lighted shooters in Kentucky basketball history both averaged under 15 attempts per game. Jodie Meeks, a singular scoring option on a terrible and terribly coached team, averaged 16.
And RJ Barrett averages 19.
Also, stick your arms straight up inside 5 ft. Gonzaga figured defense out against them which is why I Know the zags won't get bounced early. They have a complete team. Not the best team, but experience and shooting go a long way in March
Yeah. He’s a little overrated too. Not efficient at all, and has taken a lot of shots this year. Barely remember he plays for Duke most of the time.
RJ Barrett is damn good. He’s shooting about the same % as Herro and Keldon. He’s also one of only 2 guys that can score for them. Duke is one of the leading teams in the country in steals. I’d bet you Duke has taken quite a few more shot attempts as a team than UK this year and it’s condensed into fewer players. Now let me go wash my mouth out with soap for defending anything Duke.

Considering Syracuse played without their leading scorer & the game was in doubt until the last 5 min I would not exactly think the game elevates Duke at all.
All the Zion slobber gets on my nerves. He did not take one single shot outside the lane. 6 of his 13 were dunks. Don't get me wrong, he played great but the reaction is absolutely nauseating

Same for Reid. Allowed Nick and EJ to grow. I think K was hoping their subs would grow a bit and rest thebstud for post season. If we win the SEC tournament we’re in the South as No. 1 though
I don't know if Duke will get a 1 seed, the Duke team I saw play last night won't stay within 10 points of UNC tonight.
Nobody is saying anything about Syracuse missing their best player (by far) and playing their second game in as many nights, but that's what happened.
Duke only beating them by 12 is pretty weak actually.
If UK takes care of business, they'll get the 1 seed and you know what? I feel confident that UK is the better team right now. Duke is really weak beyond their top 4 players and UK will make Zion defend.
I'll give Duke all the credit in the world for what they did on 11/6, but a lot has happened since then. I think Duke has been exposed and UK has really put it together. So if Duke is our 2, let's go. I don't think Duke gets to a FF this year, they have too many flaws.
RJ is better built for the NBA. I think he'll be an NBA all star in the near future, he has all the tools, just needs to be on an NBA court where everything is spread out and nobody plays defense.
Duke will get bounced if they meet an above average athletic team that can shoot a little. Write it down.
I think K held him out on purpose. Knowing they had the brunt of their season ahead and could easily lose 2-3. Knew if Zion didn’t play the committee would be less likely to drop them off the 1 line if they lost a few. Which they did going 3-3.
I would prefer never to talk about that pampered *** program and that lying *** fake and phony Rat Faced Bastard Coach of theres ever again to be honest .
52% from 2, 34% from 3, 46% overall in conference play. The gunner thing was a non conference issue. Like most freshmen, rj has evolved.
Where did he say more athletic than duke? Go back and read it again.
You seemed to be sticking your chest out about RJ getting a triple double. We had a guy get 2 That was the point
It’s so cute when dook fans come to this board to defend their team. For a brief moment they get to live their dream of participating in a fan base that cares or knows anything about basketball.
I will say that we do have an entertaining board. No wonder so many other schools fans venture over here.
Didn’t say more athletic. Just athletic enough to annoy Zion and Barrett and make them shoot from outside. Then get hot from 3 and boom.
Gonzaga did it - Barrett was 9/25, Zion 8/17, zags shot 10/19 on threes, had 10 blocks. Duke is plenty beatable. Make them be inefficient.
I disagree with your 2nd assertion. To get a 1-seed, all we have to do is beat Bama and UT. Not saying that will be easy. But we don't have to win the SEC-T.
Gonzaga is not a lock for a 1, nor is Duke or UNC. Whoever loses tonight (Duke or UNC) will probably not get a 1 (unless Gonzaga is bumped to a 2, or neither UT or UK make it to the SEC finals).
If Duke loses again to UNC tonight, WITH Zion, then that cements UNC as a 1 and also cements Duke as a 2.
If UNC loses to Duke tonight, that makes those other 2 wins mean less, and probably drops UNC to a 2.
Gonzaga is not a lock simply because their resume is not that impressive; 1-2 vs top 35 Net, 5-3 vs top 70 NET.
The only 1-seed lock right now is UVA, and they probably need to win the ACC-T to get the overall top 1-seed.
