Zone is killing Boston College

02/28/2026 3:36 PM

This zone from the Miami Hurricanes has been killing Boston College today. Udeh has three steals and four blocks off the zone. Boston College can hardly find an answer on the offensive end. Great defensive presence by Miami today.

HALFTIME: Miami 36, Boston College 19​

02/28/2026 3:04 PM

Miami is, in fact, leading a game at halftime...

The Hurricanes are shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 12.5 percent from three while allowing 29.6 percent to the Eagles — but just 20.0 percent from deep.

For UM, it’s all about do-it-all Ernest Udeh, who has seven points (3-4 FG), six rebounds, and four steals in 19 minutes. From there, Tre Donaldson leads the Hurricanes with 11 points, followed by Malik Reneau and Shelton Henderson with six.

For BC, as expected, it’s all about Kapke Boden with 10 points.

5:30 1H: Miami 23, Boston College 17​

2/28/2026 2:44 PM

Miami has scored six straight points, but it’s still been a very sloppy game. The Hurricanes are struggling to shoot (9-of-22 from the field, 0-of-5 from three), yet their effort has helped them grab the lead as halftime is almost here.

They’ve got to find some rhythm offensively.

Pregame Vibes
02/28/2026 1:30 PM

Hurricanes are on the court and getting ready for the game:

 

Malovec should never be called 3mo ever again until this dude actually starts hitting some 3s...

 

Theoretically we want Louisville to beat Clemson, yes.

 

Tru has 6 steals. Granted a couple of those were just BC being stupid, but impressive nonetheless

 

Feels like Miami has figured out how to make jump shots.
Dovrat and Malovec makings 4+ three point FGs per game could definitely help Miami in March.
I still feel like making 10 three point FGs per game takes Miami to another level.

 

This team having 3 conference wins is remarkable.

Total margin of victory = 12 points, including an eight point overtime victory over Syracuse.

Beat Pitt by three and Wake Forest by one.

 

Not kidding - Udeh may be our most important player going down the stretch of the season

Probably the hardest guy to replace also, especially from a defensive and rebounding standpoint.

 

11 points, 11 rebounds without a play being called for you is impressive.
Ernest Udeh at his best.
It's a shame Ernest wasn't a Hurricane for 4 years.

 

Theoretically we want Louisville to beat Clemson, yes.

We want Clemson to win.

Ville loss eliminates them from leaping us no matter what.

That leaves Miami, UNC, Clemson fighting for 2 spots.

We have tiebreaker over UNC. Clemson has the tiebreaker over us. They have UNC left which is likely a top 4 elimination game bc UNC also has Duke left.

As long as we win one of the last 2. We’re in top 4.

 

With a win today, Miami will be 6-1 in February 2026.
Miami won 7 games total in 5 months last season.
That stat along is enough to make Jai Lucas the "Coach of the Year".
He has my vote.

 

I’ve been saying it all season long. #88 cannot consistently make 3’s. Dobrat should be getting his minutes.

 

Dovrat's game has arrived.
4 made 3 point FGs today.

 

Dream scenario

Clemson > Ville
UNC > Clemson
Miami > SMU
Duke > UNC

I believe that guarantees us the 3 seed. We might not even need Duke to beat UNC.

UNC losing tonight against VT would only help us if they beat Clemson next week. We don’t want to be fighting Clemson for the 3 spot.

 

The announcers are talking about small ball and making a bunch of 3s.
No thanks, I know the pain that brings when the 3s don't fall and you can't defend nor rebound.

 

Bro why is Udeh out there

 

Jordyn Kee making his conference debut

 

Kee is in the game. I don't know if I have seen him on the court this season.
Let's see what he can do.

 

Tru has 6 steals. Granted a couple of those were just BC being stupid, but impressive nonetheless

Him and Marcus (God willing) are going to terrorize folks next year

 

Nice assist by Kee.

 

Nice play by Kee getting the assist to Altuntas!

 

Dovrat's game has arrived.
4 made 3 point FGs today.

Do we actually have a bench shooter? He certainly must have a better percentage than Timofey.
