I don’t know man, I (a very smart person) think Uncle Jim has lost it. Here at Miami, historically, we’re national championship or bust in college basketball, these Elite 8s and Final Fours are a bunch of fluff. What I’m saying is we either land two true centers in the portal or what’s even the point of playing next season?
ready?
Yes they’ll play.
They were the team to beat all along according to what I read.
And in those two tournament runs, the team with size beat us and won the championship . In that case, I would improve in that area, so when we do face another team with that similar framework, we could match-up and possibly win.
My only gripe with coach L.At some point you have to value the C position. Can’t get into these tourney games against elite bugs and give away easy baskets because your tallest player is 6’7.
We couldn't buy a bucket in the first half and the first 5 minutes of the second half. We missed a bunch of bunnies, too.
We make our shots we win. The blueprint L has used works. I have no doubt if he can get a true center that’s worth a **** & can contribute he will. Until then just keep winning with what is working. Im in no hurry to see us change anything we do unless our talent dictates that. Part of what got us so far is the way we were built with the talent we had. I like that we are different than most. I like what we do we do well. I like our scramble defense. That’s the U! We are different than the rest.
I agree with this. First, let me say I recognize and respect Coach L's greatness. But having a "go-to 5" that can control the paint and add size is what takes you from a final four team to a national championship. I am somewhat saddened that we haven't even explored the possibility of adding a true big.
Until Wong makes his decision, we’re not getting any starting Guards.
Yup Quincy fills the starting PG void left by Boulm, Xavier gets themselves a great pickup as he’s a great scorer.
