Miami at UNC

[Notsince1985]

This game scares me

This’ll be a tough game. UNC responded to their losing streak and drama by demolishing Clemson. Now they’ll want to prove that further against a ranked team.

Disagree it’s a must win for us, it’s a must win for *them*

Someone mentioned it earlier, but yea UVA and PITT have incredibly soft schedules down the stretch. Needed Duke to pull the W out. Pitt can lose to anyone but again, their schedule sans @ VT and Miami is cake.

Us? Next 3 games: @UNC, Wake, @VT

Our schedule has been relatively difficult and we’ve responded

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

Weren’t you the guy who said we were going to kill Louisville

 

[Cane since 1060]

Been reading North Carolina writers articles and Miami is garnering a lot of respect from them and the NC coach and players. This a ready for prime time TV game called Big Monday. Lotsa exposure

 

[Cknucks305]

I will be there tonight. Hope the boys can get the W.

UNC stinks.

Road games are never easy, but I expect to win. UNC is only -4, in their building. Vegas knows Miami is better. Go take it.

Not really sure what we do with Bacot out there, but I would let Love and Davis jack up bricks from the outside and live/die by that.

They also play terrible defense, our guards should be too quick for them

Dean Dome is awesome. Went to a Duke game watching party there. 1/3 full and loud as ****. The acoustics are great

This game scares me

I mean, we are an underdog, playing on the road on short rest, and the bots are giving us a 1 in 3 chance to win.

I should hope so!

The line was -20 lol it was a reasonable expectation. Lville is abysmal

To be fair, I'm scared when Miami plays Florida Southern in an exhibition game

@TheRichtShow said Louisville has no chance of beating us. Well....it was pretty **** close all game.

 

[caneworld]

Will be there tonight ... hope we beat the tar out of them.

No. I said they would beat Duke by 20 and they won by 22.
Feel free to check the thread.

Ready for another Miami Monday.

College Hoops Today with Jon Rothstein - Miami's Jim Larranaga

Miami’s Jim Larranaga loves his team’s chemistry and is pleased with how well things have clicked so far. How have they been so consistent this year? The respect between Isaiah Wong and Nijel Pack. Ex

Coach L on Rothstein’s podcast this morning. Starts around 4:45 and goes to ~21mins.

Give it a listen. Emphasizes rebounding and turnovers to the team. Saw it in the post above but Miami has the best ACC record over the past 2 years - impressive! Hints at Miami starting to be a traditional name through all the success we’ve had in his decade here. Coach L is the best

We're 4.5 point underdogs. This is a desperation game, at home, for UNC.

Last year, our Guards drove around their bigs at will. Hopefully, we'll see more of that tonight. We won that one easy, 85-57 at Watsco.

Projected UNC Starting Lineup

No. 4 R.J. Davis (Jr., 6-0, 175) – 15.8 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 3.4 apg
No. 2 Caleb Love (Jr., 6-4, 200) – 16.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.0 apg
No. 1 Leaky Black (Gr., 6-9 205) – 6.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 1.4 apg
No. 32 Pete Nance (Gr. 6-11, 230) – 10.1 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.5 apg
No. 5 Armando Bacot (Sr., 6-11, 235) – 17.6 ppg, 11.3 rpg, 1.0 bpg

As you see, UNC front line goes 6'11, 6'11, and 6'9. We match that size with Omier at 6'7 and Miller 6'6.
