Just made his 6th 3 I believe.

Joey "how dare you burn my redshirt for nothing" Baker

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

look at Joey!!

 

[Duke Blu]

If Baker going to behave like this then he has to play. Hopefully not a liability on defense. Shooting is shooting regardless of the competition. He's got good size anyway, i don't see his shot being consistently challenged.

JOEY!!!

holy hell!

I get it’s a D2 team but sometimes it don’t matter how you gain confidence just as long as you get it

Play Joey in place of Alex. Even if Joey is a liability on defense, so what?

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

Joey 5-6 from three.. 15 points in 8 minutes.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Baker will definitely earn playing time because of his shooting. That's something we badly need, and I am afraid it will AOC's expense!!!
OFC

Joey 5-6 from three.. 15 points in 8 minutes.

Wow....not exactly what I was expecting to see when I started reading thread! Thanks for the stats and scores, can't watch tonight.

 

[DukeSky85]

Score?

 

[BlueDaveil]

67-28 at the half

 

[tripleb71]

Even if Baker is a liability on defense, so is AOC and only Joey is hitting his shots.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I guess we don't do gameball polls for exhibition games, but if we did, I would give it to Joey right now. Shooting is so much mental, and it's huge to see some of these 3's falling, and that includes 2 by Hurt. It's not just good for Joey & Matthew, but the whole team because I believe that shooting (good or bad) is somewhat contagious.

It's absolutely contagious....the confidence is contagious

 

[500HP_Devil]

Defense looks real good. Tre and Goldwire are going to be a problem for just about everyone on the perimeter.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

It's absolutely contagious....the confidence is contagious

And the team last year never could quite get it rolling enough from outside to get a boost in confidence.

OFC

Sure seems to be

 

[skysdad]

I hope we win by enough to satisfy everyone. LIke to see solid defense, good teamwork, and hopefully knockdown some perimeter shots.

OFC

Even if we win 140 to 40 somebody is going to be critical or know a better way than Coach K. OFC

 

[skysdad]

I hate ACC network

johnny " tar heel " swofford's pride and joy. OFC

 

[pisgah101]

Hang the banner boys

 

[skysdad]

Score?

87-35 13 minutes left. OFC

 

[Fourteen44]

Better than K and dachamp, of course lol

 

[Duke Blu]

Tre has shown no signs of improvement from 3. Unless he shows drastic improvement, I think he should stay for four years and get his degree.

 

[tw3301]

Tre shooting threes is soooo different than his brother. Shockingly bad. Hoping Alex and Joey with a sprinkle of Hurt can keep opposing defenses honest this year.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

If I had a cigar, and if I smoked, I think it would probably be safe to light up about now.

OFC

 

[skysdad]

At what point does Coach K call off the dogs? I hope he pours it on until about 5 or 6 minutes left. I just don't want our play to get sloppy. OFC

 

[tw3301]

I had no idea Goldwire could dunk.

 

[skysdad]

Well there's not a lot that can be said from anyone. Fort Valley is for sure out talented. OFC

 

[topps coach]

Agree cannot see him being. First rounder unless he hit 36 percent or better from the three

 

[Mpm277]

K's hair isn't jet black. Weird...

 

[tw3301]

Time to stop pressing I think...

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

I want to see Savarino for three

 

[BillyWolfpacker]

I have a feeling K's grandson might be able to earn some minutes as an upperclassman. He gets around well for his size

 

[skysdad]

Savarino scores the place goes nuts. OFC

 

[Mpm277]

Joey Baker coming out party.

 

[Hurley22]

I just want Joey to hit 13 threes one game so we can call it a Bakers dozen........I know I know

 

[BillyWolfpacker]

Sav!

 

[Mpm277]

"Look at that proud grandfather."

*Camera zooms in on K's stone cold expressionless face* haha
