**** Miami vs. SMU GAME THREAD ****

[FreddyCane]

Hard to believe the men were in the final four and the women in the elite 8 just a couple of years ago and now they are arguably the two worst teams in the ACC.

 

[hotshot]

Is it too late for the collective/donors to Stop Payment on the checks they wrote, or call a collection agency to get cash back? We're not getting our money's worth, regardless of how little it is.

That was embarrassing to the max. No effort.

 

[Problem2]

Those two years were the worst thing to ever happen to this program. Gave everyone a false sense of hope that Larranaga turned it aroundand now we're gonna be stuck in a 2-3 year rebuild AFTER this disaster.

 

[ADELPHI]

Program in tatters because an old head coach refused to adapt. And some want to build a statue of him smh.

 

[aleahy]

This is a total rebuild. I wouldn’t bring a single player or coach back. Total cleanse.

New HC can bring 2-3 of his guys, hopefully retain Able/Ahmed, and then bring in 4-5 transfers. Start over.

 

[AmherstCane]

It was pretty clear this team wasn’t going to win another game after St. Mary’s.

L didn’t forget how to coach basketball. As bad as this team was with him on the sideline, it is 1000000x worse without him on the sideline.

L takes responsibility for the collapse of the program because he was the head man, but I think the real problem was the supporting cast.

Final 4 created an illusion based upon a team that was built and developed in the prior years.

Going to the elite 8 and final 4 are things that 90% of D1 basketball programs have never and will never achieve

 

[Gables Canes]

Worst defensive team in ACC history, per kenpom.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Zero reason to be this bad.

Pack, Omier and Miller are all Portal guys who L "recruited." Hard to say he couldn't or wouldn't "adapt."

I’ve never seen a college basketball team fall this far after a final 4 appearance just 2 years ago-


The AD has a tall task to find someone who can right the ship-

With the NIL/portal/HS recruiting/basketball philosophy/playing in the ACC/making the Watsco center home court advantage

It’s going to be like starting all over again-Like resurrecting the program all over again-

 

[Cane18]

How was the spread on this game 5.5?

 

[Trav]

This really puts in perspective bidens edict on n.i.l. that all athletes should recv same $. I mean the ladies on miami fencing team deserve more than these brickers, right?

Lately the way they've been playing too? Give it all to soccer.

Yes they are accomplishments in themselves, they are not bad things in any conceivable way.

What would drive someone to attend a home game this season? How sick do you have to be? For that matter, why are there game threads? Why continue watching?

 

[CTCANE]

You can say and feel how you want about Frank Haith but when he left, the program wasn't this bad.

Dude youre loving this. Your no fan of the program.

 

[scane]

My motivation so far has been that I already paid for it. We'll see how much longer that works. It barely worked today.
