Chris just give up on this program it seems? He doesn’t want to play

Broadcast barely made it past the opening b-roll before mentioning injuries

Starting to think you might be on to something...

 

[Allabouttheu95]

How did this squad beat Purdue lol

And Beverly makes a nice athletic move to move in for the easy lay-up.... OOOOPS not so easy for Beverly.
(2nd try same move, success, OK Bev!)

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Whose our black assistant coach who is always furious with us. I like that guy lol

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Duke's doing us a favor extending the defense all the way out. Don't they have scouts? Just put 10 feet in the paint and we'll never score.

I disagree with this. Had he given up on this team I doubt he'd be at every game cheering them on. I think his injury may be more serious than initially thought.

Despite being undermanned it is refreshing to see them come out and play with the 3 E's early on. I said it last week, you don't need talent to play with effort, energy and enthusiasm

I'm not even sure most people would miss 2 months with a broken ankle...

Best quarter of the year so far maybe, and the lead for now! Everyone is playing OK, except maybe Beverly's missing a few shots that were makeable most days.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Can't for the life of me understand why Olaniyi wasn't starting. He's much, much better than Earl.

I agree. Its frustrating to see this and realize some of these guys have it in them to play well but can't consistently do it game to game. Last time they played this well was the first half against Lville. Hopefully they can keep it up. I hate Duke and always enjoyed when Miami beats them in hoops. That 2013 blow out was prob one of my favorite games from the Canes

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Beverly is such an enigma

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Did they just say that Beverly's playing through a herniated disk?

 

[chris2183l]

Not sure i love brooks ripping one from 3 when they had numbers there lol. Horrible shot selection

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Duke goes to zone, immediately gets a steal. Not sure why it took them 15 minutes to realize that was the answer.

Ankle injuries can be a very nagging injury, particularly because we really don't know the seriousness of Lykes' injury. Players usually take a couple of weeks to get back on the floor if it's just a mild sprain, but I don't think Miami has made an official statement on the injury. For all we know it can be a high ankle sprain or a stress fracture. I'm sure Lykes and the team are chomping at the bit to get him back on the floor.

Amazing how fewer turnovers, decent shooting, adequate rebounding, and some hustle can make one a competitive team!
