****Miami vs. Drake GAME THREAD****

[hotshot]

Everything just feels disjointed today.

The offense isn’t getting open looks because Drake is switching on all the screens and we aren’t taking advantage of the mismatches the switching on defense creates. And we aren’t switching at all and have been vulnerable to the lob.

I also think Coach L needs to use the fact that he doesn’t have stars but does have a deep bench and use full court defense much earlier and try to wear teams down.

The bench may be deep, and we have a taller squad, but neither were factors today. Got killed on the boards (only 5 Offensive Rebounds in the entire game) and only got very average production from the bench.

We made 4 more threes than they did and still got beaten soundly. Johnson and Kidd were worse than bad.

I have said it repeatedly, I love Coach L. He revived Miami hoops. He should retire. No real talent. No real effort. No real hope for the season…..

I don’t know how he gets such blind loyalty when they consistently lose to teams they should not lose to.
He’s had a great run, but they need a change.

If Johnson and Kidd don't play a lot better for us on the inside, could be a long season. Rebounding and interior defense were equally bad today.

Hopefully the big guy transfer from Idaho comes back soon

I could be wrong but I think he was less highly regarded than Kidd and Johnson when signed. Hopefully, he's more physical.

He might not be as good but he is 6 9 and hopefully can grab a rebound. Losing Norchad hurts
