We were 4-4 in February, and lost twice to a fading FSU. Also twice to Virginia, who was just held to 13 points in the first half as I type this.
Obvious Lunardi would have us out had we lost today.
Dude has been in retirement mode since that sweet 16 run
Problem with this is while youre mentioning teams that had very good Gaurd play and we're definitely there because of it they also at the very least had several starters with height who contributed in that capacity. Gonzaga had a monster big and Baylor had **** good forward play. We literally have zero size at all to contribute to clogging the middle or contributing on the boards. That just doesn't happen where you have zero size on the team period.
Miami commits a very low amount of turnovers per game and turnovering teams is their specialty
I guess the few games I've watched has been the exception. Because I've watched like 4 games this year and in each of those games they've been very turn over prone. I hope ur right though. Down the stretch today and against vag tech suggests u r wrong. As well as the game I saw against fspoo. Seems we have horrible ball skills. I'd agree on turning teams over though being a strength.
This is an insane post lol taking care of the basketball is a clear and quantifiable strength for Miami. Yes, they've had a few games where they've turned it over. Everyone does. Those games have been the exception.
I’m sure you’re a great person, but this post sucks balls.
I was at the game, and I can say it was pretty sloppy. In the first half one of the dook fans behind me said “Miami’s just better”. Second half was a very different story. Just looked like guys were running and falling all over the place. I don’t know why BC didn’t go back to him, but their giant foreigner was just eating our lunch there for a bit. A win is a win though.
Not sure what makes it insane as I specifically said maybe the few games I've watched has been the exception. Because each of those games they turned the ball over right and left down the stretch to make it either closer than necessary or lose...
you might be too young to remember this . . . .1987 Hoyas Reggie and the Miracles, sweet 16 and a buzzer beater kept him from the final 4. Reggie and 4 guards, John Thompson coached like a boss that season.
Its been evident through decades of Tournaments...Guard play is what matters over big men...
I get it but ... we did beat Duke this season at their place. I hope they shoot a ton of threes as opposed to feeding Mark Williams down low. We have no answer for him.
I don't watch a lot of basketball, so maybe I'm way off here, but that team plays D like I haven't seen in a long time. They challenged BC and made them work to get past half-court on every possession. I was actually concerned the Miami guys would run out of steam before the end of the game because they were putting out so much on D.
I don't remember them but I think we'd also agree then and now is night and day in relation to how the game is played.
How about enjoying this year? Good lord.
It is. Back then, bigs were the centerpiece of teams. Today, not so much.
