MIAMI (FL) HURRICANES NEWS

Norchad Omier - Continues to shine in win Omier racked up 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 82-78 victory over Syracuse.

Impact There's a strong argument to say Omier has been one of the best players for Miami this season, as he's been able to make a significant impact on both ends of the court almost on a game-to-game basis. He has three straight double-doubles and five in his last nine contests.

AJ Casey - Nearing return Casey (shoulder) is preparing to make a return during Monday's matchup with Syracuse, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

If Casey is ultimately unable to suit up tonight, his next opportunity to return would be Saturday against Duke.

Impact Wong was excellent despite the team's loss, and he continues to impact as a reliable offensive threat for the Hurricanes. The junior has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games, and he has reached that tally in six of his last eight appearances.

Norchad Omier - Another double-double Omier notched 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 40 minutes during Saturday's 83-81 OT loss to North Carolina State.

Impact Omier was efficient from the field, active on the glass and excellent defensively while recording a second straight contest with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Aside from scoring in double digits for the 15th straight outing, he also has seven double-doubles in that span, and he's been one of the best two-way forwards in the entire Conference.

Nijel Pack - Surpasses 20-point mark again Pack recorded 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds and four steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 76-65 win over Notre Dame.

Impact Pack has scored at least 20 points just twice this season, and in fact, this was a huge bounce-back effort for him, as he hadn't scored in double digits since Nov. 27, when he posted 16 points in a win at UCF. Pack sits behind Norchad Omier and Isaiah Wong when it comes to the pecking order on offense, but he's still putting up decent numbers with 11.9 points, 2.6 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game on the season.

Norchad Omier - Sniffs double-double again Omier logged 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 76-65 victory over Notre Dame.

Impact Omier has ended three rebounds or fewer away from a double-double in each of his last three contests, and he posted back-to-back double-doubles in the two games before that three-game stretch. Either way, he's adjusted well to a steeper level of competition in the ACC, and he has quickly established himself as a go-to player for the Hurricanes on offense. He's averaging 13.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game this season.
