Edit: Canes vs Dook Game Thread

[Go Canes!!]

After the injury I'm happy as **** to be where we are in this game.

Got to tough it out for the final 20, especially on the glass.

Sucks we got a poor shot that last possession. But, admirable effort by the Canes considering the early injury.

Stating the obvious, but start of the second half is critical. Can’t afford to go down double digits.

 

[calinative umstudent]

It’s weird to watch an injury and immediately just shift to “ok so how will we look next year”. I could barely watch this half because I’m so sick to my stomach. Insanely bad luck

Yeah sucks. But we are playing pretty well given just hire undersized we are now

 

[Geddy Lee]

No one boxes out aka Walker just sit there and hope you out jump them.

 

[Stan The Bat]

Yeah, I don’t care at this point. Hope Norchad recovers fully for a possible NCAA appearance or heals up for next season. Tough turn of events.

Luckily this team has some resolve. It will take good stretches of defense but this is not a lost game by any means.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Just not the same team without Omier

 

[Cane since 1060]

There is…no justice

Exact same feeling. One of the best regular seasons in Canes basketball history. All to get crushed by an injury. Just kinda ruined the feeling/mood I have for the rest of the season.

 

[umfire2005]

Tough break but honestly UM still in this. Offense needs to run through Miller. Duke shot like 55%+ in that half.

 

[va.cane]

keep Walker on the bench

he should never shoot unless an open dunk

he doesn’t box out and never puts his hands up on D

play Casey and Amir - if Norchard can’t play next week give Casey and Amir game experience this 2nd half

also have Wooga work on dribbling this summer

 

[go_canes_17]

We are 15-31 from the field. Duke 15-26

 

[txcanes]

Jesus could we just go one game without fouling a 3 point shooter

It was not a foul so there.

 

[Geddy Lee]

It was not a foul so there.

I’d have to look at a replay but from what is being said on here I’ll take everyone’s word it wasn’t a foul

 

[CBurrr93]

If and I say if omier can’t go next week, we have to roll with 4 guards and miller. I don’t care about lack of size. When walker is on the court we are at a severe disadvantage. Try to win with people who can play. I can’t watch walker out there if we get bounced

 

[King of Allapattah]

Good job so far by Miller, Joseph and Wong. Poplar and Pack showed flashes early but haven't done much since. Like what I saw from Casey. Despite not grabbing a rebound he was active and contesting shots. Going to need more of that from him and Walker. I like where we're at right now. I'll take down 5 at the half, considering one of our top players and our best big man went down in the opening minute. I don't think Duke shoots 66% from 3 in the 2nd half. GO CANES!!!

 

[caneworld]

Walker is useless ... just go 5 guard small ball. Scramble ball defense ..run and gun offense.

 

[SFbayCane]

There is…no justice

Then there shall be no peace!!!!

 

[King of Allapattah]

Omier not looking good. Heavily taped and on crutches. Don't like him sitting on the bench in the 2nd half. He needs to keep that ankle wrapped in ice and elevated as much as possible.

 

[CTCANE]

We have no choice but to play Walker significant minutes without Orchad. Omier is the one player that we can't replace.
