Miami at UNC

[CANEFAN83]

Big game and must win again for miami especially for seeding and acc positioning headed into the conf tourney.

If miami can win both UNC and wake games next week, it sets up them finishing the year possibly 8-1 or 9-0. It won't be easy but which canes team will we see?

Pitt game at the watsco center on Mar 4 looks huge!

Go canes!

Pitt and Uva have cake walks down the stretch.

That being said Pitt still seems like a team that could lose to almost anyone.

We really needed UVA to lose today. A blown call against Duke of all teams probably handed them the conference.

We already beat UVA and will beat pitt on march 4. Let's take the whole ******* thing by winning the acc tourney like back in 2013 when Larkin was here. That ensures a top 4 seed.

We can win out and still lose the conference, was my point. But I like where your head’s at.

Yes I know, I was just implying **** UVA, we can stick it up their *** by winning the acc tourney. Thanks IndayArtHauz!

I am concerned our bench may not be deep enough to win the acc tourney/advance to at least the elite eight like last year. We need to turn up the heat on D that would help, this is definitely our weakest link this year. Last year's team was more consistent on D down the stretch. Let's hope Coach L can fix this.

Also this year's team lacks a true PG unlike last year with Charlie moore.

Our bench was even worse last year. March is a crap shoot.

I disagree this is must-win. I think if we finish 3-2 and win our first round matchup in the ACCT we get a 5 seed.

Got to disagree with you here. We had no bench last year and it didn’t affect our run. This team is much deeper.

Im starting to see signs that this team can make a run. I didn’t feel that way a month ago but Pack is changing this team. We can legitimately get 20+ from 4 starters. That’s going to be very difficult to defend for a team that has 24 hours to prepare.

The only way UNC is a must win is if you are talking in terms of winning the conference. In that case every game is a must win thanks to that Pitt debacle.

I think finishing 3-2 will be enough to get us a top 4 seed. Obviously want to do better but with road games at UNC and a rapidly improving VT team it will be tough.

Tournament is about match ups.

Yep. OTOH, NC State has a brutal finish to the season.

We will be in the top 4. And probably finish 2 to 3. Clemson goes to UVA and NC State. NC State alway plays Wake, too. We get Wake and Pitt at home. Where you sit in Top 4 really does not matter much. A 2 seed actually sets up for better match ups.

 

[Cane since 1060]

This game is always along with Duke a nationally televised game. I see this as a defining game for both teams. L says you want to be playing your best basketball in February and early March. A win on the road against a revived Noth Carolina team would put a huge stamp on Miami achieving its goal.

 

[CanesHoopsman]

Huge game tomorrow, a win puts us in 4 seed territory I think. That being said, very tough turnaround to travel and play a desperate UNC team in Chapel Hill. We would be their premier win on the season, I expect them to come out aggressive, let’s see if we can take advantage defensively.

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

I think we should rename it Miami Monday as Miami beats UNC by 15 points.

 

[CBurrr93]

ESPN giving us a 33 percent chance of a win. Prove em wrong

 

[gacaneaddict]

UNC hit season high 15 threes vs. Clemson.

They can score, but not great defensively.

Our bench/rotation is deeper than last year
