⛹️‍♂️ Reece Beekman - Official Thread

Vegas starts about Friday July 7. a buddy of mine has rooms booked at the Cosmo that weekend and asked me to go yesterday and I immediately regretted having a child** and not being independently wealthy (the two things beings obviously related).

** this is a joke. Being wealthy would be nice, though.

It could also come down to how he looks the next couple of weeks. If UVA goes deep in the ACC and NCAA tournament and Beeks looks close to November Beeks he could rocket up quickly.

It sounds like it’s a pretty chill party atmosphere. I’ve never gone but with more Hoos popping up I’ve been considering.

I’m definitely thinking of going near the end of the Summer. Gonna do my Anniversary trip in Mid-June to July but after that it seems like a fun trip. I’m only 6 hours away by car. I’m sure my family would chill by the pool while I watch basketball.

Beekman said he’s still coping with the hamstring injury he suffered during a Dec. 6 game against James Madison.

“There are good and bad days with it,” he said, “and some days are not as good as others, but I’m able to play through it and be functional with it, so it’s good.”

He said his days are usually longer in order to perform at his best.

“It’s showing up to practice like an hour early, which sometimes can be a lot,” Beekman said. “But, getting in the hot tank and warming it up and getting some standing-light therapy with it. [UVa head athletic trainer] Ethan [Saliba] has been working with me a lot and has been doing a great job. And he’s really dedicated a lot of time to help me and trying to get it right.”

Beekman has been committed to staying on the court, too, according to McKneely.

In addition to igniting UVa on Thursday, Beekman also helped the Cavaliers break Carolina’s press repeatedly when the Tar Heels got desperate in the final minutes.

“He lives in the rehab room with Ethan,” McKneely said. “After practice every day, he’s spending hours. Before practice, he’s spending hours and he’s been dedicated, which is why I think he’s been able to come back because that’s a serious injury. Hamstrings take a while to heal, so he’s doing everything he can to recover and I’m really proud of him because he really played great tonight – as he does every night.”

Beekman didn’t have any turnovers either against the Tar Heels, and over the last four games he’s tallied 30 assists and only one turnover.

“When it first happened, I was like, ‘This might be something where I might be out for a while,’” Beekman said, “so I really wasn’t sure how long it was going to be or how affected I’d be, but I feel like I’ve been able to get back to a level where I’m comfortable to play at and just be a great contributor to the team.”https://dailyprogress.com/sports/beekmans-burst-of-energy-willingness-to-play-through-pain-aids-virginia-in-quarterfinal-win/article_af87cfc8-bef5-11ed-8d08-43b653ea8662.html

Ok no this is all wrong and he’s lying. He was just being passive because Kihei was on the court too and he’s an introvert and blah blah blah.

You can tell Reece is feeling good because he’s talking trash again in-game.

Was going to mention that. Was it all directed at Love? Think he still remembers Love getting in his face after he made (one of the very few) good plays against Reece.

Reece said nothing at the time, but let him hear about it later in the game and gave some shit at least twice last night (was that also Love?).

Now, who do you think should be on the All-ACC team? Beekman or Love?

Reece coming up next:

Love isn’t on the same continent as Reece.
I wish he’d come back to UNC next year. He may be athletic, some may try to call him streaky, but he’s plain ol’ bad.

Love has very poor shot selection.
