Barrett’s decision to choose Duke over Kentucky (and Oregon)
This isn’t the first time R.J. Barrett vexed John Calipari.
Barrett’s decision to choose Duke over Kentucky (and Oregon) — announced Friday evening on TSN’s SportsCentre in Canada — means it’ll be Coach K in charge of his NCAA basketball career rather than Coach Cal. That might hurt even more than the 38 points Barrett scored during the summer to lead Canada over Calipari’s United States squad in the semifinals of the FIBA U19 World Cup.
Barrett went on to lead Team Canada to the gold medal, and now he’ll try to carry Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils to another Final Four and NCAA championship. Krzyzewski has five titles now, although there could be a sixth by the time Barrett arrives.
