Not poplars best showing today

And as soon as I type that about Wooga he turns it over

He did similar against Kansas last year. Basically lost us the game with 3 consecutive terrible plays that started a huge run by them. Hurts my eyes to watch him.

Team showed some spark with Beverly and Wong had a little hot streak. But poplar and pack and now wong look done in. Nice to get it close though.

 

[HurricanePhilly]

I love Miami athletics game day threads. The over reactions fuel my day. Well job to move it to bball today.

 

[SamBruceMyBabyDaddy]

Is Pack not that good? His teammates seem to think he’s trash and so does Jim. Man hasn’t shot since yesterday

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Effort was lacking today especially on the boards. Maryland is hot, too.

Game day beats the comics

 

[RBradleigh]

Poplar is terrible. Still

Not poplars best showing today

I’ve yet to see a game where he didn’t trip over his own feet.
He needs Jekiri to do some soccer footwork drills with him

 

[canesfan54]

If Maryland didn’t turnover the ball as much this would’ve been a perfect game by them

 

[BiltmoreCANE]

Tough game, lots to learn from it!

 

[jkdood]

If we beat UCF I'll eat my words, but I think good teams are gonna eat us alive and Providence was just a pleasant surprise. Wong is way too inconsistent and Omier may not be Superman all the time, and the flaws here and there are hard to overcome, as are the refs.

 

[scane]

Certainly a lot to clean up between now and Louisville two weeks from today. The reality is we’re probably neither as good as we looked yesterday or as bad (I hope) as we looked today.

 

[CliftonCane]

What Pack did at Kansas State wasn't a fluke. He's legit. I think his struggles today are a combination of Maryland having a clear size advantage defensively at the perimeter and him trying to find his role in the offense.

Pack is most effective as a catch-and-shoot 3-pt guy so I think we need to ease him into the offense by setting up screens for him off the ball so he can get his shots in early. He doesn't mesh well when we're running stagnant half-court iso ball (which Zay excels at).

We got a good coach they’ll get better.

 

[Memnon]

Maryland is a really good team, like one of the 5 best we’ll play this year (before the tourney), so fact is they just beat us in every facet of the game, it happens. They were a tough matchup, they’re an athletic team with very good length & depth & got hot shooting.

We definitely played bad, but in BBall sometimes the better team is just the better team.

It’s still very early, literally just 5 games in of a long season & this one game won’t define the team at all.

Overreacting to a game like this is a little over the top if you actually follow CBB.

We’ll have 2 more opportunities this month against UCF & Rutgers to show what we’re made of.

Have some things defensively that we have to go back to the drawing board & figure out, but people really need to really relax with the hyperbole this early in a Basketball season; this ain’t Football, no one goes undefeated in CBB.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

We suck

You are entering MackMiller territory of being one of the worst posters here. It’s game 5 on a back to back against a very good team. Miami beat up Providence yesterday and all of a sudden we suck? Get the **** out then.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

3 point shooting needs fixing. Last 3 games have been bad from deep. Pack needs to step it up.

 

[EightiesCane]

The negative Nancy's always seems to show up with their proclamation that we're the worst team in the world when we lose. You guys must live miserable lives.

Today we got out-hustled, out-shot, out-muscled, out-jumped, and out-manned. Wong with 7 assists yesterday and guys having some touch at the basket made us look good, we DID suck today, but yeah its just one game.
