Congratulations 'Canes Basketball!
To paraphrase Outkast, we are for real. This team has some big wins, but more importantly, we've closed out games. When South Carolina made its last stand with about 3 minutes left, our big players made big plays. Dwayne Collins came up with a HUGE dunk, then hit the and-one free throw. Then after a missed free throw on the other side, we pushed the ball up, and found an open James Dews, who hit a big three from the corner. The seniors stepped up!!
I have to give mad props to Reggie Johnson, who in 10 minutes of play, grabbed 7 rebounds to go with 7 points, an assist, a block, and a steal to go with no turnovers or fouls. That's what a real big man does. Durand Scott also hit the boards hard, finishing with 10 rebounds. Dequan had a good game, going 4-4 from the field and with 5 boards. We've got to work on the turnovers and our free throw shooting, but there's a lot to be excited about. Just ask Adrian Thomas. (from last year's Wake upset)
Jack McClinton is pumped up too! "shout out to my hurricanes basketball team, just won the south carolina shootout.... good work fellas keep it upppp....."
Extra points for Julian Gamble's postgame report. "On the flight on the way back to Miami.. Let's do it!! FREE CHILI!"
