****Miami vs. Clemson PREGAME THREAD****

[Trinton Breeze]

We are now within 30 minutes from tipoff here at the Watsco center, what’s your score prediction?

 

[CaneFanWNY]

Baseball score in the first 5 minutes.

Someone's gonna go on a run, I dont think it'll be miami from the looks of it so far.

 

[scane]

Seriously reconsidering the life choices that led to me sitting here watching this

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

1 point in 6.5 minutes. Jesus H. When we go bad, we go off the rails.

[CaneFanWNY]

2 beautiful passes to the perimeter. 2 chances. 0 points.

 

[scane]

Cleveland has singlehandedly increased our FG% to **checks notes** 13% after almost 10 minutes

 

[King of Allapattah]

Bethae has to be the most immature player I think I've ever seen in a Miami uniform. His days in Coral Gables are numbered.

 

[FreddyCane]

Outside of Arkansas some extremely slow starts game after game, 6 points in 10 minutes is girls optimist bad.

 

[scane]

Second unit has been infinitely more watchable

 

[King of Allapattah]

DIVINE HAS TO PLAY MORE!!!! **** DA POLITICS!!!! PLAY DIVINE!!!!

 

[scane]

Second unit has been infinitely more watchable

Like two completely different teams

 

[King of Allapattah]

2ND

Second unit has been infinitely more watchable

Bench has definitely given us a chance

 

[casualcane]

Tbh, this is exactly the sort of game we’ll win only to lose more head scratchers down the road

 

[casualcane]

Can’t watch but following along. The starting 5 really has 5 points so far?

They’ve been dreadful

 

[Allabouttheu95]

Just so hard to watch this team operate on both ends of the floor. We are atrocious but I do feel there is a chance if they gel correctly to be competitive come end of year

 

[casualcane]

Shooting an embarrassing 9% from beyond the arc

 

[King of Allapattah]

I think Miami has a chance to get their first W of the season in a game after trailing at halftime. Despite the terrible start, we're only down 1 at the half. Would like more consistency from Cleveland. Falls into some lulls, but otherwise has been our best player today.

First half tidbits:
-Bethae doesn't need to play in the 2nd half
-Cleveland, Djobet, Johnson, Blackmon & Divine was our best unit
-Don't give Kidd the ball unless he's positing up or wide open with a foot in the paint
-Pack's matchup doesn't seem to be a favorable one; struggling vs the pressure
-Clemson getting away with a lot of hand checking; a lot more than the norm; like every possession a lot

Can’t watch today, but no more than 25 points from both teams in the first half? Yikes. We’re certainly lucky Clemson is somehow shooting worse than we are at just over 30%, but 9% 3 PT is just tragic.
