Final Four vs. UCONN - 4/1 8:49pm EDT on CBS

[jhtheking]

Omier got his 4th foul with around 8 min to go in 2nd half. I remember vividly. he came back around 5 min left.

I looked it up and he got his 4th with 11 mins left. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/playbyplay/_/gameId/401522196
Watching the highlights he was back in with 8 mins left.

UCONN is playing the best ball of the tournament right now. theyre the favorite for a reason. it doesn't mean miami can't win and wont win.

And who would you say is playing the second best ball of the tournament right now?

That was a crazy finish!

Hate to say it. We are going to have to rely on Walker and Casey to attack the rim straight up and get their big men in foul trouble.
Omeir has to be protected at all costs to play 40 minutes

he can't play 40 minutes. i don't know what his average is, but he plays around 30-32 minutes. he expends a ton of energy

I meant available to play... I know he won't play 40 mins. But he needs to be there to finish the game.

Getting him in foul trouble is tactic #1 to derail us.

Curious to know if there is anything like a Final Four banner or stuff etc. Around the Hect Athletic Center. I’m up in North Miami if someone drives by there please give a report..thanks in advance.

Maybe some of our reporters or someone can get good interviews, lmaooo.. in meantime, podcast interview from GT corch on us

Hard to get past the kid’s lisp . But seriously, some props to the Canes team.

 

[Cane since 1060]

We need all our fans... no one made you the gate keeper

Welcome to all but loyalty is important not just when you win.

While dangerous, I do like that even though he has 4 fouls he is just as aggressive as if he had 2 fouls .

Immortalized as a CiS gif.

I can tell you this, since it happened right in front of me with a minute left, but the entire UM section thought that Norchad had picked up his 5th foul when that ******* from Texas backed him the **** up and he hit the ground hard.

Then we got the call, and the angels rejoiced.

I was glad to re-watch that play from multiple angles on TiVo. Good lord, that goofy Texas player started backing into Norchad about halfway between the foul line and the basket and didn't stop pushing him until nearly the top of the key.

**** that piece of crap. He was DEFINITELY trying to **** Norchad up on that play. That was no box out. That was deliberate and dirty.

I hate those graphs cause they seem to not account for how common scoring runs are. I'd love to see how accurate they really are.

miami. id actually argue miami is playing as well (I dont think Gonzaga was great this year and were lucky to sneak past UCLA). outside of drake which was obviously the fluke game, we've been as good and we've handled our ****. the final four game is gonna be tougher than the NC game imo

 

[hoops156]

Does anyone realize when Omeir got his 4th foul vs tejas & went to the bench our comeback started in earnest? Not saying this would be the case vs the huskies but everyone seems to miss this.

that actually helped the D. we went small I believe and were able to switch stuff a bit easier vs trying to protect Omier.

be careful when buying parking. You can not purchase parking passes ahead of time for the stadium so the ones on the ticket brokers are people selling spots around the stadium.

This was a good game you can see how to stop UConn as well as see what’s working as they almost came back but lost at home down 20. Xavier beat them twice as they had good 3pt shooting both games and great guard play which is UConn weakness as their guards are mainly scorers not defenders

We have shot makers and very good guard play. With that you always have a punchers chance. Most teams don’t have multiple guys that can go get you a basket.

He gets into foul trouble which causes him to have to sit spells because he is aggressive but you don't want to discourage it either because he is such a monster around the rim. L just has to manage him properly.

I thought they were calling Chad, and I was going to jump though my screen. Fortunately, they didn't.

The dude from Texas did not even try to slightly go after the ball . It definitely seemed like a dirty play out of Omier frustrating them all game.
