Never know what will happen in March. Pressure burst pipes. The higher seeds can play like it or if they have repeated earlier than expected exits their b-holes can get tight late(figure of speech to those getting tingly) and lead to meltdowns

Going to have to earn a few through the hardest route of anyone. Would have been nice to maybe be a 4 seed and playing FAU last night and then getting a KState Team that we match up pretty well with and would be a fun game to watch. But we are already further along then anyone outside of this board expected and a top 15 team once again.

I may be talking from a "I have no idea what I am talking about" perspective but I don't believe Houston has lit the tournament up. They have pulled away later in games I think.

When they seeded us and put us where they did I am not sure they thought we would be playing tonight.

Hopefully Coach L has our boys ready to roll and represent

Yo!!!! We got our squad flying allegiant? Yikes! Them cats must have been folded up to fit in them seats. I hope the long cats had the entire aisle to themselves. You know they were happy AF to get off that little *** plane!

Guys got entire rows to themselves. Odds are Allegiant is sponsoring it so you know they took good care of the guys.

One thing we definitely can't afford tonight is Omier getting in foul trouble. If he does, we have next to no chance in winning. Omier has to have a similar game in rebounding that he had against Indiana.

these are charter aircraft, not being used at the moment for commercial purposes. all airlines charter their aircraft when not in use

Eh, very few "sponsorships" in college airline travel. Miami almost always flies charter on an A320 via a company called Global X airlines anyway, that is either all-coach or almost all coach. https://www.globalairlinesgroup.com/index.html

I am guessing Global didn't have an aircraft available short-notice so the program chartered a plane through Allegiant. Zero chance that was a commercial flight with other passengers. The guys will definitely have room to spread out among more seats, but I have always wondered why they don't charter an all-business class configuration. Shouldn't be much of a price difference.

I havent watched enough of Houston to know their "style" but I do like that we have won games playing almost every style possible. Up Tempo, Half court, fist fights, down 15, up 15, and god knows if we are up 8ish with 2 minutes its going to be a nerve wracking final 2 minutes. But we tend to hit free throws.

We have a roster really built to handle anything. Even when we are greatly outsized we rebound well. Houston isnt huge but they have a lot of 6'8 types that are very athletic. Wooga will likely be the guy asked to player bigger but he can bounce with almost anyone. Miller is the guy who could really frustrate the young kid from PA that Houston has with his LA fitness game against that kids height and athleticism.

I know we play chaos on Def and at time sit back to help with rebounding which lets some 3pt shooter have an extra second. But I wonder if L will throw a wrinkle at Sasser/Shead

We dont tend to Jaw a lot but I could see Joseph trying to mix it up and **** off Sasser or Shead

Houston rarely plays zone defense. Maybe 20 minutes combined all year. And 10 of that came in last game because Sasser and Shead were nursing leg injuries that affected their lateral quickness. So maybe they zone due to injuries, but that would be a big "win" for Miami, as our defense is predicated on being an in your face man.

Somewhere I read that Houston “has several Omiers” cause they have a lot of 6’8” rebounders. Looking at their stats that’s not close to true.

They might have several decent rebounders but I think Omier is top 5 in the country. He’s statistically like 15th, but TJD is 8th and Omier out rebounded him 17 to 8. Head to head Omier wins.

Well he had foul trouble against Indiana first half and still had 17 rebounds. Iirc he had only 4 rebounds in the first half. Monster
 
Miami has so much depth they are almost able to play two complete teams. And our 1rst group has gotten so much better than what they were mid season. Pendante is unmovable.
