Jack White is not expected to play Friday vs NDSU.

Coach K hopes to maybe have him back playing by Sunday if Duke beats NDSU. I hope he's healthy enough to play by then, and we'll see.

Hamstring injuries can sometimes linger and take time to heal. Hopefully White's isn't bad.

We get 1 player back, Bolden, and again we lose another.

Maybe Joey Baker will play! :cool:

The fact is there is a lot more parity these days and that Mich St struggling with Bradley and Marquette being trounced by Murray St demonstrate that. Heck, LSU barely got by Yale. Expect more upsets today.

That's every tournament, though, going back as far as I can remember. We'll always have upsets.

And actually, I sort of expect this particular tournament to be more chalky than usual when we look back upon it in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, hopefully Jack returns on Sunday. I'd like to have different death lineup options, not just the one with JGold.

Yesterday was almost upset free....7-10 games are almost toss ups.....and 5-12 gives us "upsets" every year.....yesterday was the calmest Thursday of NCAAT I can remember.

And Yale never threatened LSU....Yale's best player was like 2-16 and 1-9 from three......

Steve Wiseman, News & Observer: Don’t expect Jack White to play for Duke Sunday (https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/article228338634.html)


White said Saturday that a new ultrasound test showed his torn hamstring has seen significant healing over the last week. His lateral movement is good but he’s still unable to turn it loose and run full speed ahead as he would need to while playing in a game.

Jack White is crucial to our defense. A small lineup with Jack in it is much better at switching than GW in it.

Jack's problem is although I believe he is capable of hitting threes, he is extremely tentative. That long streak of missing them really got into his head. It is more than time he shook that monkey off his back, and fire away..

Was there ever an actual diagnosis of the injury revealed to the public? Depending on the severity of the injury, he could be back this weekend or done for the season.

I'm trying to be optimistic, but the phrase "torn hamstring" sounds really bad.

If K was hopeful that Jack might had a go against UCF, I am confident Jack will play in the next game.

If Jack is back and Bolden leaves the knee brace, then we're officially 99% healthy.

Unfortunately my kid had the same type of injury yesterday in spring training two weeks maybe a few days sooner (do not rush it )that's what our team doc told us.

Dukehk
03-27-2019, 10:46 AM
Wouldn't be surprised if he could play since in the last game he was doing band-work and was already a game time decision then.

As many have said, we need his defence and rebounding. He is an extra option to have on both offence and defence, as JG/Tre Jones backcourt doesn't always prove effective (see: UCF game).

A crafty defender like Jack might have done a better job on dawkins. Now imagine if Jack somehow found his confidence in shooting that corner 3...we would be a completely different team.

MChambers

That would be big. It would give Duke much needed forward depth and another shooter.

I know Jack has struggled with his shot this year, but I'd much rather have him shooting threes than Jordan or Tre. I don't think other teams will leave him as open as Justin and Tre were against UCF.

Good points...with Jack out, RJ is the only one who knows how to play both offence and defence.
Maybe that's the blueprint to beating Duke-- if only one guy can play defence and you can shut down his offence, then he sticks out like a sore thumb. With multiple guys able to play both offense and offence, defense and defence, our team becomes much more fistlike, and the blueprint is fictional (unless they get too focused on the draft).

Actually, I would sugggest that Zion is the only true two-way player on the roster. Barrett is good on offense but not on defense. Reddish, Jones, Goldwire, White, Bolden, and DeLaurier are good on defense but not so much on offense (to varying degrees of quality of course).

Of course RJ is not the only one other than Jack who knows how to play both offense and defense. (Why all the 'c's"?) I don't see where anybody said that.

Zion is pretty good on both ends. So is Cam. And so is Tre, 3-point percentage notwithstanding.

Would be great to have him back, K just doesn't trust O'Connell at all so White would give us a wing off the bench and more positional versatility. His defense, rebounding and toughness have been so underrated this season. I think VT will play off of him until he proves he can knock down a three, but he's also good a crashing the offensive glass when the defense gives him a free run at the rim because they've left him alone.

At this point in the season we mostly know what we're going to get from our stars. The contributions of the role players (Jack, Javin, Bolden, Jordan, hopefully Alex) is what could put us over the top.

Zion is pretty good on both ends. So is Cam. And so is Tre, 3-point percentage notwithstanding.

I wouldn't say Cam is pretty good on offense. He is very talented and has lots of potential, but to say he has been good on offense is a very dicey proposition. In certain games he has been wonderful, but in more games he has been abysmal. Statistically, his offense does not merit a "good" designation. He shoots <36% FGs, 33% on 3s, and his eFG% is ~46% (if i read the only stat i could readily find correctly). He does shoot FTs at a respectable, not great, 77%. He turns the ball over a lot, almost 2x as much as our PG, and has an underwater a:to (~.8).
He has a decent scoring average, but he is very inefficient and inconsistent. I'm sure the coaching staff could use him in better ways than they have, which would make him look like a much better offensive player, but they haven't shown much inclination to change the way Cam approaches offense.
Also, just to pick a nit, to claim Zion is "pretty good at both offense and defense", and then say "so is Cam" puts them in the same category, and that is just a scandalous slander against Zion. You could get away with saying that Zion is fantastic at both, and that Cam is pretty good, but to make them seem equivalent like that, nah.

I believe fan345678 was being humorous. Dukehk had used the non-US spellings of offence and defence, and thus Jack (from Australia) and RJ (from Canada) would be the only two players who play "offence" and "defence," because the other players would use the American spelling of "offense" and "defense." I think we're all on board with the fact that we have multiple players who can contribute on both ends of the floor.

Like one of those poetry anthologies in which the footnotes to T.S. Eliot's references take up more pages than the poems.

It certainly doesn't appear to be that it will be for more than mop-up time. Since those very brief stints against Syracuse, VT, and Miami (and most of his time against Miami was in garbage time), it's been nothing but garbage time for Baker. And he didn't play at all in the ACC tournament or in the close game against UCF, despite Duke being shorthanded in both.

I mean, we're barely seeing any of Alex O'Connell now, and he's clearly ahead of Baker in the rotation. It would be pretty shocking for Baker to play meaningful minutes again this season.

I believe the Curry situation is different because he was a transfer and had to sit out a year from playing. Whereas Baker is simply redshirting. That would be saying that Buckmire doesn't get a ring because he never saw the court this year during official game time.

Buckmire has played 4 games this year.

Rats. This is a game where he'd be very useful, for sure.

We needed White. Feeling a lot less optimistic of our chances this weekend without him.

And TDD is now backtracking from its earlier position:


***UPDATED: Coach K updated Jack White's status in his press conference today and said that White is 'more doubtful than probable'***

Yeah, that stinks about Jack. We have enough to win without him, but he would help. Good to hear about Bolden though, he played really well in the first VT matchup and hasn't looked 100% since coming back.

They say they are backtracking from The Duke Basketball Report (not this DBR, Duke's DBR) of yesterday...confusing, eh?

Not at all confusing. Injury is a healing process. What appears today may not continue to develop as indicated. That's why it is day to day.

no, I wasn't saying the injury was confusing, the fact that TDD referenced the source as The Duke Basketball Report...but not THIS Duke Basketball Report (Duke's own)...that's a bit confusing.

Now if we are so fortunate as to win it all he gets a ring. Otherwise he wouldn't. See ex., Seth Curry.

Even the Curry situation would be different had it happened this year. I'm 90% sure the rule has changed, and he would receive a ring under today's legislation.

The rule changed AND Seth Curry was allowed to get a ring many years later I recall.

Jack White, hamstring.
Aaron Young, hamstring.
Do the math.....

It would be pretty shocking for Baker to play meaningful minutes again this season.

I’m just hoping he gets to play some non-meaningful minutes. That would be best case scenario for my heart.

I recall that Seth's family paid for a copy of the ring, as some extra copies are allowed by the NCAA -- usually paid for by the school.

Would appreciate updates on White but seems like no one is asking. If he is even 90% then the loss of Cam can be plugged a bit.

Based on last night, he won’t be anywhere close to 90%. Hope he can give us 5-10 minutes.

He said after Va Tech he was feeling really good at first in the game, but then it tightened up on him. So I think it's really hard to predict but he said "it's about 80-85%, but I'm not going to tear it or anything." So hopefully treatment over the last couple days will be effective.

I very much want Jack to be playing next week.
