Virginia Tech at Miami January 28th 2020 at 8 pm on the ACCN (Pregame predictions, Game thread and post game reactions)

Virginia Tech 68
Miami 76

Miami starts Isaiah Wong and Harlond Beverly in place of Chris Lykes and Kam McGusty. All three freshman play 25 plus minutes and combine for 55 points in their best game of thr season.
GO CANES.

Even if they are healthy enough to play, Coach L should bring them off the bench and keep their minutes under 20 for the game. IMO.
Unfortunately, I think if they get the green light to play, Coach L will start them both and play them 30 plus minutes each.
Let's hope Coach L plays them on a minute restriction.

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

Get a start and a win at home on your birthday.

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

Set a new career high at home.

VT -2.5

I don’t see much that inspires any confidence. I guess the fact that it is a home game.

If Wong and Bev do start, I’d like to see both in double figures.

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

Play well today. We are rooting for you.

 

[Gables Canes]

Smells and feels like another loss. VT is a far superior team to us

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Going to be a blowout. Every game moving forward minus 3 or 4 will be blow outs.

 

[rok]

Too bad the season is already over otherwise I'd be there.

The Nolley kid is a pure 3 pt shooter. I do not see us winning this one.

Yup. Maybe we beat BC, Wake, maybe GT. Maybe we steal one vs. Syracuse to end the season. That's pretty much it.

Oh, and this is a very down year for the ACC.

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Yup. Maybe we beat BC, Wake, maybe GT. Maybe we still one vs. Syracuse to end the season. That's pretty much it.

Oh, and this is a very down year for the ACC.

I'm thinking 13 wins.

 

[Gables Canes]

I'm thinking 13 wins.

Looking back at it, I'm not sure how we beat Illinois.

I'm thinking 13 or 14. Brutal 2 year stretch for this program.

If we go back to record predictions I didn't think we were going to get to 12 so better than I expected as sad as that is.

Wish I Could Go To Game, Haven't Been Yet All Year GeeeeZ

Taking FSU (17-2 nbr 5) to OT (and should have won in regulation) was more amazing than Illinois perhaps. Shows if the guys are "on" we ain't chopped liver.

Took FSU to OT in Tallahassee last year as well; was exciting to be in attendance. Going Feb 8 (I live in Perry FL) so at least one Cane will be there. (Packed house sell-out.) Playing them semenholes just seems to get the adrenaline a goin perhaps.

GT is playing everyone tough!

We most definitely are chopped liver. What it shows is that college basketball is unpredictable.

My DFS lineups need a Lykes/McGusty update!

 

[CTCANE]

Im watching markups. Looks like no Lykes but I believe Mcgusty is. 10 players in warmups.
