GAME THREAD: Miami vs. Coppin State

Love what we've seen of Divine. Amazing, considering he's a true freshman.

Bensley Joseph comes to mind, though, in terms of him always looking good in Nov and Dec, then fading when the ACC schedule hit. I'm sure L won't throw Divine in over his head when ACC play starts in earnest.

Every once in a while over the last three years, Bens would get into the lane and either finish at the rim or find the open man and I'd think to myself, if he could just do that more often we'd be on to something.

Divine does that basically every time he touches the ball. Dude split 3 double teams in garbage time last night for easy buckets. I haven't seen a Miami PG do that so effortlessly since Shane Larkin. The shot will be an issue going forward, but he's flashing skills we haven't seen here in a long time.

We are DEAD LAST in current SoS. 364 out of 364.

So while I've been encouraged by our early results, we've played absolute garbage to start this season. We should know a lot more after this Charleston tournament.

Trying to meld so many new players together, not a bad idea to play cupcakes this early.
