Louisville at Miami

[Allabouttheu95]

Great win. Way to not allow that to be a trap game. The effort in the second half was outstanding. Key hustle plays turned this game and led to a comfortable win.

One thing I will note: I’d like to see us go to omier more late in games with a lead.

i'll take the win! and Beverly made 5-for-5 FT after scane (and others) picked on him

You’re welcome

Not our prettiest win, but a win is a win

 

[IndayArtHauz]

20 wins!

Also is the best team L has ever had from the line?

Classic 'sandwich' let-down game (in this case, scheduled between Duke and UNC). Defense was bad, with Louisville shooting at almost a 60% clip all game long. You rarely win when a team shoots that well against you.

I'll take it -- we didn't need another Quad 4 loss. Three of our guys with 20+ scoring nights. Beverly has basically become our "bench." We're not getting much from anyone else. Joseph has struggled since ACC competition began in earnest. I keep hoping he'll return to his Nov/Dec form but ...

This is seriously the worst D I’ve ever seen an L team play. Louisville, who is a sub 300 ranked team, is shooting 60% and getting whatever looks they want.

They also made more of their contested shots than they have all year. And there were plenty in the 2nd half.

 

[txcanes]

Can't shake these guys. They're hitting every shot they need to stay close.

And shots they have not made all year.

I don’t have stats in front of me but it sure feels like it. Whole team hits

We've had mostly all good FT-shooting ones (L's teams and others going further back) but I think you're right. These guys rarely miss!

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

Jesus Christ on a cracker, that El Ellis kid was on fire tonight. The Ville played inspired ball. Great win, let's keep it rolling.

 

[Notsince1985]

Trap game, as some predicted.

A win is a win, and Miami now has 20 wins with 5 games left in the season. Good teams win games where they don't play well.

As well they should have, those 3 misses were just lazy no arc shots. Typical Beverly lack of focus. A soft player at times.

 

[jackedaround]

Solid 2nd half performance. El Ellis had the game of his life.

Yes, this is the best FT team under Coach L. We were at 76.8% coming into tonight and that will probably bump up to around 77% (haven't seen the exact percentage yet). The best under Coach L was 2020 where we were 75.9%.

The best FT shooting team we've had is the 2002 team with Salmons/Rice/Jones, where we were 4th in the country with FT shooting at 77.1%

Good teams Play Well! (well, its True)

Ellis is pretty darn good. He came to play.
