I think Pack has shown throughout the season especially tonight that in any given game he can be our best player. Poplar is also showing vast improvement and when he's on we're going to be a tough out for any team. Wong won ACC POY because of the team's success and he's got name recognition. That award could've easily been had by Miller and/or Omier if the voters were paying attention. But because we're Miami, those guys only watch us when we're playing against the blue bloods or in post season play
“Indiana is the second coming of 1990 UNLV” is not a phrase uttered by me, so I’m not sure who you’re responding to.
They are an efficient O that can't stop a nosebleed. I've watched a fair number of IU games this year, they struggle with speed, the one thing that Miami has in abundance. Miami has to run them, if it turns into a rock fight, Miami is at a disadvantage. If it's a track meet, Miami stands a shot.
If you're old, what am I? I was coaching AAU games at Assembly Hall 15 years ago. LOL!
L said after the game that Drake was the best defensive team we played all season. Man, I’m loving this team! Drake was 13-1 heading into the tourney and one of the hottest teams in the country and we still found a way to win with our backs up against the wall with less than 5 to play. L dialed up the press beautifully and because of it, we won the game. This team is battle tested like no other team in the country. If you’ve been following this squad this year, games like this are nothing new. Just win baby!! This was such a huge win and I almost can’t believe people are on here being negative after such an incredible W! But then I’m reminded that message board clout is a **** of a drug. Some of these cats can’t stop chasing that clout. Even if it means finding ways to criticize L and the players after a NCAA tournament win!
That or he left his phone on vibrate and only took Inday’s call with five minutes left
Shooting in the 20’s in the first half , two of your best players going 3-17,playing atrocious perimeter d on a good shooting team and turning it over left and right is deserving to lose. Plenty of teams win that deserved to lose. We laid a huge **** last night for 37 minutes but played a great last three minutes while Drake peed down their leg. I’m glad we won but we were very fortunate with such a bad performance.
Agree with all of that. The D ( minus the perimeter) , rebounding , coaching and let’s be honest Drake melting down a little at the end is what won the game. I’m just glad we survived and advanced after playing easily our worst game of the year. I don’t see Miller and Wong playing that bad again. That said , if N.O doesn’t play we 100 percent lose going away. His prescience in the paint and on the boards was huge. We get devoured without him. So props to him even if his offensive stats look bad.
I never once said “ fire coach L”, not one time since he’s been here. That’s just dishonest. Yes I complained about the offense being too much high screen and go make a play. It relies too much on guys being tough shot makers. I still think that but thankfully we have a few tough shot makers. I did agree with those saying if last year had been a bad year the seat could warm up. That was more in response to those using the cloud as an excuse for the previous 2-3 years , my point was there was other programs dealing with clouds. Miami wasn’t the only school involved in that mess. Those posts are still up and haven’t been deleted. That’s the context and I stand by that.
YES , L worked hard to break that type of play ( snare) we were in being drawn into there game I’m not a BB guy and saw it .
again BB is totally different then CFB my specialty .
