If timberlake jumps on the scene and plays at a high level Larranaga will have some tough decisions with starting 5. Wong, Timberlake, Cross, Brooks, and Walker might be the bread and butter.

Mcgusty, Lykes, Beverly, and Miller coming off the bench.

It’s game 1 and I’m already tired of McGusty and Lykes lol.

Kam and Lykes have been awful tonight

At least with Lykes outside of the one terrible 3 is getting wide open shots. I have no idea the things that Kam and Beverly do sometimes

Beverly has a double double

Those 3 and Miller make me cringe. Beverly could be a **** of a player if he was smarter with his decisions and could be better at the line.

Beverly has a double double

Rebounds and missed FT’s?

No sports psychologist here, but getting the feeling Lykes feels the competition, and is just not loose (or confident) enough when shooting so far

Turnovers getting up there lol

 

[ChicagoCane1992]

I don’t like those decisions to shoot by Walker and Cross

I don't recall you in here in previous years but most will tell you that I'm not a Lykes fan as a starting caliber guard in ACC. Off the bench for a spark absolutely. Mcgusty was not pretty at times either last season. Both him and Lykes tend to force the issue far too often.

I haven’t been I just joined a couple months ago. Yea both of them were tough to watch last year. Started out good but as the season went on not so much. I think they were hurt too.

Kam just isn't an explosive athlete

Welcome to the board. Hoping for a bounce back year this season. We're due that's forsure.

Hopefully that pull up gets lykes in groove for next game.

Very excited to see Cross, Timberlake, and Brooks this year. If Lykes and Kam get going this team will be dangerous.

The unfortunate part of Lykes' game is that his best shot is the hero ball 3.

"Mr Pull up in your **** and hope it goes in"

At 5'5

Always happy to take a win, and definitely some good stuff as well. Good it was North Florida though, and also seeing Lykes end on a high note may be great psychologically, considering.

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

Miami wins 77-59. Not bad for a first game

 

[scane]

A lot of room for improvement overall, but I liked what I saw from Cross and Brooks. Wong is still really good.

If the Canes want to be competitive in the ACC, some changes have to be made. Unless something changes over the next few games, Lykes might be better providing a spark off the bench.

The Canes need to get a lot better all around. Rebounds, lack of assists and turnovers were the major issues last season (I think the Canes were last or next-to-last in the ACC in all those categories), and these issues still linger in this game against inferior competition. 18 assists was a slight improvement, but 16 turnovers is unacceptable. The Canes out rebounded UNF by 13, but that is to be expected. This will not get it done against ACC caliber teams, but Coach L has time to fix this
