When Caleb was injured after our win over dook many people thought (and with good reason) that we were heading into the toughest part of our schedule and that we would be lucky to finish 3-3. Instead we went 5-1, which is pretty damned good given that some thought we'd fall apart after losing Caleb (and Veesaar for a time as well).
Having said that, knowing that Caleb won't return at all has definitely lowered my expectations for the rest of this season, as it should. Beating dook tomorrow was always going to be a tall order, even if Caleb had returned. Hopefully we can win a few games in the ACC tournament and reach the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament, but I think that's about as far as we'll get, if that. It has been a fun season overall, though, and I think a generally successful one, given all of our injuries - first to Seth, then to Caleb and Veesaar, and now Caleb out for good. One of those "might have been" seasons for sure, although it's not over yet and I'll keep hoping for more.
