Miami is off to Enterprise Center

The Hurricanes are off to the Enterprise Center

 

We desperately need someone who can make a three next year. Tru ain’t it

 

Been an unbelievable year. Historic. Fun, winning basketball is back.

I hate that of the last 6 halves of the year, Malik was bad to awful in 5 of them. Especially because the rest of the main 7 were so good.

The autopsy of this year should have notes on how amazing the top of the roster turnover was, and how awful the low and middle was.

Overall, a year so good most of us would have thought it impossible just 6 months ago.

 

And a typical choke job at the end. Shouldn't have fouled the last possession. Theyd hit every FT but 1

 

Miami needs a 3 here

They got a shot…just another brick in the wall…..

 

Miami wins this game with an even whistle but maybe thats not something to expect away against a #2 seed

 

Purdues wonder bread players shot lights out

 

This guy ain’t missing’em this is what he does

 

**** of a season. New coach, all new players, finished third in the ACC, and gave Purdue a game in the second round.

 

And a typical choke job at the end. Shouldn't have fouled the last possession. Theyd hit every FT but 1

lol relax

 

Game. Nice season wish Reneau played better today this game was so winnable

Yup. Tough to win a game like this when your best player lays an egg.

 

Great season. Just ran into a better team. Hold onto Lucas and bring Washington, Allen, and hopefully Henderson back and we’ll be just fine with solid portal adds.

 

Yeah let’s foul the lil white guy who probably hasn’t missed a foul shot since middle school

 

They got a shot…just another brick in the wall…..

They need a couple snipers next year

 

Donaldson had no regard for +8 Miami betters. Jesus Christ

 

Great season.

 

We're in good hands with Jai at the helm

 

Great season. Just ran into a better team. Hold onto Lucas and bring Washington, Allen, and hopefully Henderson back and we’ll be just fine with solid portal adds.

Dovrat too. Why he didn't play today when we needed threes desparately is BEYOND me but seems like a bad decision.

 

lol relax

Ya ok. Worked out well didnt it

 

They fought, no one expected them to even be in this game to begin with.

**** of a fight, proud of them. Refs definitely helped Purdue, but we just can’t go that cold for so long against a squad that good shooting
