Miami is off to Enterprise Center

The Hurricanes are off to the Enterprise Center

 

Wow, I mean if they’re gonna call that with 2 mins left it’s gg

 

compare that call to what Reneau has been dealing with on the other end. Game changing level of difference

 

We go on a run and they get FTs for catching the ball

 

Reneau is soft. Love the season, but you watch him and say ****, he'll be great as a senior...

then realize he's 30

Heck of a player but when he makes bad plays you just sit there scratching your head.

 

Has Kaufman-Renn ever attempted a shot with his 2nd hand on the ball. This dude was attempting floaters from the FT line

 

Reneau is soft. Love the season, but you watch him and say ****, he'll be great as a senior...

then realize he's 30

I mean 1st team all conference player but he’s all finesse

 

Can't watch live do we have a shot?

 

compare that call to what Reneau has been dealing with on the other end. Game changing level of difference

Stop. Refs aren't the reason we lose this game.

 

Lucas had to basically rebuild a whole roster. All the confidence in the world to trim the fat and bring in better players. Likes like 10 don’t belong here.

 

Cmon you can’t call that with 2 minutes left

 

Reneau is soft. Love the season, but you watch him and say ****, he'll be great as a senior...

then realize he's 30

Our dumbass fanbase in a nutshell. This team would be mediocre at best without him. Amazing how he wasn't soft in crunch time Friday night. Sometimes, a good player has a rough night. It's frustrating because we've seen him snap out of it, but today, he just can't get right.

 

We could have really used a true stretch 4 to keep teams honest. Timo never filled that role and I’d guess he won’t be back next year

 

I'm not one to get upset at this kind of stuff, but this Braden Smith glazing from the announcers is atrocious.

He's shooting 3-11 with 7 turnovers.

 

Stop. Refs aren't the reason we lose this game.

Certainly doesn't help they get away with a moving screen every possession and slightest bit of contact gets a call for them

 

Need Cluff to miss the first ft and then score quick on other end. We need a run at the end like the NC State game!

 

Reneau has been involved in about 5 sequences that have halted any momentum we’ve had.

 

Need a miss here so badly

 

the last 6 FTs they have were all soft calls that we would not get

 

Time for 683 commercials

 

You just can’t give up that board
