What do bone chips in an ankle, a partially-dislocated shoulder, an aching back and a bruised hand have in common?
They are among the assorted maladies endured by University of Waterloo weather-beaten cager Cam McIntyre throughout his varsity career.
McIntyre shrugged off the first two, the most-recent injuries from his catalogue of woes, over the weekend when he poured in a career-best 42 points during a 90-76 romp over Ryerson.
The Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate grad and former Moser Award winner as Waterloo Region’s top high school player also set a school record when he struck for 11 three-point bombs in that contest.
“I’ve never seen a (Canadian university) player go off like that,” said UW coach Tom Kieswetter.
Through an electrifying five-minute span in the third quarter, McIntyre took dead aim for 22 points.
“When something like that happens, the (hoop) feels as big as the ocean,” said McIntyre who’s listed among the top four scorers in the 16-team Ontario University Athletics’ basketball league.
He’s averaged nearly 20 points per outing so far this season.
All of which makes us wonder how would the six-foot-three Waterloo native perform if he were ever actually healthy?
“I wonder about that sometimes myself,” he said.
The fourth-year guard and his Warriors enter the league’s December recess with a 4-4 (won-lost) record.
Their next match is Jan. 5 when Brock visits.
