I never said Bensley should take more shots than Omier or any of the other starters. I just stated the fact that he plays the 3rd most minutes on the team and takes the 5th most shots tells me he's not being a ball hog or shooting the team out of games. Not sure where the confusion is ,but below...

First off, considering he's a forward and about 5-6 inches taller, Cleveland better be "outshining" Joseph on the boards. Secondly, all 5 of your starters can't be just scorers. At some point you've got to have guys on the floor that can do other things like defend and rebound. I think Bensley...

No question, it can be done but again at some point one of either "can" or "will" has to give. Effort is a big part in it, but it I'm pretty sure it won't be the sole reason if/when Miami improves on that end. Pack may be our worse on-ball defender from the guys in the rotation. From my couch it...

If I'm not mistaken, we went some zone in the half court vs. Kentucky & Colorado. Also, showed some full court zone presses in other games.

There are a myriad of reasons why a team will play zone, but depending on the zone your run many times it's done to neutralize a size disadvantage in hopes that the zone will minimize scoring in the paint and offensive rebounds. You'll also find teams go zone when opponents aren't particularly a...

This Miami team pretty much runs man-to-man, 95% of the time. Our perimeter guys have done a **** poor job of protecting their yard and keeping guys out the paint. At some point, ability has to translate on the court. Aside from Bens, none of the other perimeter players have shown they can...

Do agree with you that there seems to be a "defensive malaise" at times. I think with the team in general, it's a few things. I think you make a valid point on Omier and others being cognizant of not getting into foul trouble. Also think at times we're just being lazy on D. No way around it. Not...

I don't think we were "un-physical" or necessarily soft last night. I think Miami was mentally soft last night. Got down and didn't show composure or mental fortitude down the stretch. Physically? We had players play thru some discomfort. Although we may not have played well, but don't think...

Think it had a little to do with both. May have overestimated the roster some and weren't willing to dole out top dollar for a role player or two. I don't think there's any doubt that one of the biggest holes on the team is the BIG man position. However, considering we have a pretty good...

I think it's pretty evident that George needs more minutes. Not sure it's 30+ but should be averaging over 20+. And although I know it's very unlikely to happen and seriously doubt that Coach L would consider it, but Nigel Pack is the player I'd take out of the starting lineup. His scoring off...

Who might want to flip the switch, Bensley? C'mon now, tough to lay the blame on the only player in a Miami uniform who can slide his feet from baseline to baseline. Bensley is a very good on the ball defender. Only guy who does a good job of defending his yard.

I doubt Bensley is in the starting lineup because of his offense. I think it has more to do with him being Miami's best defender.

We got out played. Plain & simple. From coaching to effort, guys looked out of it completely. Guys looked tired in the 2nd half. Louisville played with energy throughout. Those heavy minutes are coming back to bite us in the ***. Terrible loss!

What the **** Omier???? Gotta contest that lay-up. Can't just stand there and watch

We went from shot-makers in the 1st half, to shot-takers in the 2nd. Gotta get back to knocking down shots or else...

Not one to be too critical of the officiating but tonight's crew leaves a lot to be desired :****:

Wooga and Pack both look hobbled

CLEVELAAAAND!!!!

Awful? Pack has 6 pts (2-5 FG), 3 assists and 2 steals with 1 TO so far

Like the pace we're playing at. Doing a good job on the boards. Looks like it's going to come down to who does a better job of taking care of the ball. Louisville can't sustain this hot shooting streak, or can they?
