Practices Wednesday Omier (ankle) was able to participate in practice Wednesday ahead of Friday's first-round matchup with Drake in the NCAA Tournament, Mike Cugno of CBS4 Miami reports. Impact Omier, who exited early in the ACC Championship Game over the weekend with an apparent ankle injury, remains questionable to suit up Friday. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has appeared in all 32 games this season (31 starts), averaging 13.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, one steal and 1.3 blocks on 28.4 minutes per game. Omier's participation in practice is a good sign for his availability, but if he is ultimately unable to suit up, the Hurricanes will turn to Anthony Walker to serve as the starting center.
