****Miami vs. Arkansas GAME THREAD****

[anr96]

Well all that for nothing. At least we showed more promise than previous games.

If Arkansas wins ACC looks like it’ll start ACC/SEC challenge 0-5

Very stagnant last 8-9 minutes of this game. Going inside to Kidd wasn't what got us out in front tonight. Not sure why we got cute, but should've stayed with what got us there. Kidd is just taking up space and clogging the lanes. Another shooter (Swartz) would allow them to spread the floor.

That can't be our best SLOB play.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Couldn’t even draw iron lol

We looked like a real basketball team for roughly 36 minutes.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Choke.

This team sucks. What a joke. Thought we had a good team this year... Nope! Jokes on me.

Final: Miami: 73, Arkansas: 76

Thoughts:
-better job by far until it wasn’t. Wonder what the run was to close it out. If it looks like a choke
-Matt played well then vanished
-I don’t like Pack and Jalen on the floor together without another true guard
-Jalil went MIA
-looks like 99 is sitting. He’s probably our best choice at the 1
-Kidd’s positioning is just baffling. He’s not doing the work imo
-Why was 23 inbounding?

There are no moral victories. With the talent on this team, they’re underperforming. This season looks disappointing. Again

Between the CFP rankings and the ending of this game, December seems to be a continuation of a disappointing November

Come on, he almost hit the bottom of the rim.

 

[casualcane]

Bring on baseball season.

Never mind

 

[casualcane]

It’s early. But if this team falls apart, next year could be even more scary

 

[King of Allapattah]

Great effort today. IF we can play like this the rest of the way, I think we'll be fine. Last 8-9 minutes of the game killed us. Don't think Kidd playing the last 8+ minutes of this game tonight was the way to go. Should've stuck to what got us there. Oh well, GO CANES!!!

Everything Kidd did starting with the 100mph dump off to Djobet was everything that made me think he had no business being a high minute starter. How many ******* rebounds went right off his hands (I swear to god one hit him right in the chest). How many times did he just stand in the paint while Ivisic loaded up his slow *** jumper from 3 instead of making him put the ball on the floor. I actually thought he was playing his best game since maybe the first of the season and then he just completely **** the bed.

That possession where we missed two open looks to go up 10 was a killer

 

[Gables Canes]

At least we showed some fight tonight, but yikes this team is just flat out BAD. Some thoughts:

- L has embraced small ball for years. Why is he now deciding to go away from it? The combination of Kidd and Johnson does NOT work on either side of the court. We have the guard depth to play small ball
- Where was Divine? Kid needs minutes, period
- I like staton mccray’s hustle, but he’s a complete liability on offense
- Kidd is absolutely useless defensively and on the glass. So soft
- we went away from what was working down the stretch
- Arkansas’ star freshman had 18 points, 6 assists and 4 boards. Meanwhile, Bethea is on a milk carton. Is it too soon to call him a bust? He’s a complete non factor

I'm not sure if I'm encouraged or more upset.

Both?
