Elite 8 - The U vs Kansas

[WndyCityCane]

Think KU wins it all? Until today, I though possibly but with their free throws and cold streaks, not as sure. Granted, an almost perfect adjustment in second half but some issues for sure.

Go anyone but Kansas!

Some real ******** in this thread for sure.

Mopers gonna mope

 

[TaylorWalls]

LOL

The Canes getting in the Final Four wouldn't deliver the SoFla market.

Or did ya forget we dropped the program for like 15 seasons largely because next to nobody in the region gave a crap about College Basketball

So you people really believe that the refs changed the game for TV ratings? My goodness.

UM is losing to a better, deeper and bigger team with a very good coach. Nothing to be ashamed of no matter how disappointed we are.

Absolutely. Just getting here was impressive. Just sucks seeing how we self destructed to start the 2nd half when we had a very real shot to win

 

[WndyCityCane]

For sure, that was sweet. But this is the Elite 8

Yea but do we hang a banner or get trophies for the elite 8?

Worst half. We were the better team for the first 20 minutes today.

True, although I don't think we played great in the 1st half either. Not terrible but not great. Fouls early on took us out of rhythm, Kam was just a one man show in that first half.

We can analyze all day and night. The fact is we blinked in the second half whatever the reasons. Doesn’t take away from the immense joy I got from these kids most of the season & especially the last 2 weeks!!! Special group!

It’s much easier to deal with a loss when you don’t expect to win. I knew Kansas was the better team, but after these last two weeks I couldn’t shake the feeling that this team was gonna do it. Man this hurts, but what a ride.

Nothing you said here is wrong...Kansas is the #3 team in the country for a reason. The disappointment comes from us not playing smart and players not showing up. It was going to be a heck of an accomplishment for us to win this game, but we did not help ourselves at all. In totality, this was a good season with a crappy ending.

If Kansas played Miami in football the the colllege football playoffs- kansas would get no calls! Bank it!

 

[Canesrule230]

Lmao up 20 lightfoot was barely touched and they call a foul

 

[Canedude08]

WTF is that hard for some people to understand?

A few dudes here acting like this is Miami losing to Kansas in FOOTBALL

Kansas didn't need help to beat Miami, that's what ****es all of us off. The fact that Miami didn't get a chance to play a fair game is what hurts.

 

[Angry Ibis]

Lots of oversimplification in this thread to ***** or **** on the team….

Think it's Duke

 

[Hold My Beer]

I wouldn't be as annoyed with this, had I felt as if Miami got a fair shake in this game. They didn't. AT ALL.

No. What you saw today was Miami running out of gas. That Providence game, this first half and that early second half run was who they are. They don’t put teams away. They’ll let someone hand around and find a way to lose. Unfortunately it might not be Nova, with Moore being done for the year.

Kenny Smith should've kept his mouth shut at halftime about picking the Canes

No, they'd still get the calls. Zero holding calls on their offensive line.

I don't mind losing to the better team, at all. What I do mind is the better team getting preferential treatment, making it **** near impossible to beat that better team. All I ever want in sporting events is fairness. If the better team beats my team fair and square, that's fine. If they get every big call under the sun, and call two different games for two teams, it's complete BS. Kansas shouldn't have needed those BS calls to help pull away. They probably didn't need them, but ****, the NCAA sure wanted Kansas in the final 4, and it showed today. We got some bad calls in the first half, but the first 10 minutes of the second half was one mugging after another, one ticky tack foul after another on us. That gets in player's heads, and it put our players on the bench.

There's a reason I stopped watching most college basketball, and today was a **** good reminder. When they want the "better" team to win, the better team will win. Then they can all say the better team won, and no one thinks anything of it. If Miami was ragdolling Kansas all over the court and nothing was getting called, it might get some attention. When it happens to a 10 seed, it's just the better team winning.

I'll look back on the season with tons of fondness tomorrow, but today this just stings man
