ACC tournament game #1 - Virginia Tech

[joshdacane]

We're down 32-31, as Virginia Tech is playing out of their mind - 5 of 7 from 3, no turnovers. We're not playing poorly, really, but we've settled for 14 threes against their zone (hit 5, four of which were by Davon Reed). Reed has 12 to lead us, Brown has 7 but on 2 of 7 shooting, and Swoope has a couple of highlight dunks. Assuming VT can't play as flawlessly as they have for two halves, we should pull ahead.

Going to be a close one, CANES need a big run.

Wow feed went out right at the inbound.

 

[joshdacane]

Awful pass. You have two timeouts, if you don't feel comfortable with what you see, call one.

 

[Micah]

Back in time for the misses, haha.

 

[Dan E. Dangerously]

Suck it, Hokies.

 

[SmokeyRone]

Wow. Reverted back to familiar fashion, but rebounding kept us alive when we couldn't buy a basket.

Would be great if we come out hot tomorrow, wanna keep the season alive.

We are, after all, ACC defending champions!

VT seems to bring out the worst in us. We played well enough to survive. That's all that matters at this time of year -- bring on NC State!

 

[nystateofmind]

If, big if, we can beat NC State, I think we'd have a decent shot at upsetting Syracuse.

We've played them real tough this year.

If miami beats nc state, Syracuse and wins two more are they in the dance?

 

[CaneInControl]

The only way we're getting into the dance is winning the ACC Tourney.

 

[nystateofmind]

If miami beats nc state, Syracuse and wins two more are they in the dance?

Well that means they would've won the Tourney.

 

[CTCANE]

The chances if Miami winning the next 4 in a row are as good as me winning the powerball lottery. It ain't happening. The team exceeded expectations big time this year. I am happy with that and look forward to next season. Thank you Missouri for hiring Haith!

Eric Swoope earned his True 'Cane card this last stretch of the season. We've been playing better, as he's been a big part.

 

[Kirijax]

First things first. We beat VT. Tomorrow is a different game and winnable. One day at a time Canes! But sure does feel nice to get that VT monkey off our backs!

BEAT STATE

Coach L doesn't lose in North Carolina. #REPEAT

[Miami04]

Anyone know why coach only had a 8 man rotation against vt? Kirk didn't play at all.
