[Consigliere]

Just keep the freshman in. Let them get some confidence.

More 11. Less 21

Walker will probably starting over Sam by January at this rate and he deserves it if he keeps playing this way. 8 points in 9 minutes.

The 2019 recruiting class is much better than people realize. I like how they compete.

Sam should never play another minute. All he does is pass the ball and he has zero confidence in himself.

And get beaten to the rim

Bill Murray da gaw with the Miami basketball commentary

 

[HurikaneMarc]

That is an overreatction. Miami will improve as the season goes along. Experience is really kicking our butts tonight. Louisville is as advertised.

I expect to improve, I just don't know by how much you think we'll improve. This isn't about the score, its about not having the athletes to be one the same court. Rodney Miller and Sam Waardenburg seem to be super out matched. Lykes and McGusty look pedestrian. Our freshmen are going to need time. Lots of time.

In proper context. Louisville is the #5 team in the country and for a good reason. I don't think they will be 30 points better than Miami in February.

I wonder does Coach L reconsider the Brooks sit-out this season notion and apply for the transfer waiver after seeing Rodney and Sam play tonight.

Maybe. But they're going to improve too.

It is over. They made a decision. They made a decision to NOT bring in any other grad transfers. This is the roster.

10 active scholarships. This is how they wanted to run in 2019-20.

It’s a cooking pot. With a built in strainer

I agree. Stubborn and set in their ways.

Way too many eggs in the RM/SW basket

I left at halftime because there are far better ways to torture one's self, but from what I saw this needs to be Beverly's team with DJ as his sidekick. Lykes is a playmaker but let's not pin our hopes on him every night.

Walker should be starting over Sam next game. Sam is awful.

Coach L believes in Sam and Rodney too much for his own good. He may not be ready to face that reality.

 

[casualcane]

Didn’t expect to win but wanted to see toughness, especially on D

Can’t say I did

I appreciate what Chris has done considering what he has to work with, but that package doesn't work in the ACC. There's no way around it.
