Rough start to the second half​

It’s been a rough start to the second half for Miami, which is just 2-6 from the field so far. Virginia is faring slightly better, 3-7. The Canes just don’t have an answer on defense.

HALFTIME: Miami 23, Virginia 38​

Just an embarrassing first half for the Hurricanes.

Miami has put themselves into some trouble heading into halftime. Very slow and sloppy start for the first half for both teams.

Tru Washington leads Miami with 9 points, Shelton Henderson with eight, along with three Hurricane spiliting a piece of two: Noam, Malik, and Dante.

Canes shooting 32.1% FG, 10.0% 3PT.

Halftime adjustments are definitely going to be needed. Let's grab a snack.

The Canes have arrived

Jai Lucas's Miami Hurricanes are in the building.

 

performance tonite was literally dreadful... would it lose our bid for dance?

Uh no Miami was locked in regardless. They’ll probably be a 7-8 seed.

 

3 for 18 on threes

 

Wonder if Sebastian can give us a few minutes

Might get a better effort.

 

Timo sighting...lol

 

LFG Timo

 

There is absolutely nothing to learn from this game except to never give that crap effort again. Flush and watch the selection show on Sunday.

 

Jai: guys let’s get a W tonight
Guys: lulz coach say what?

 

Does miami stay a 7 seed?

The thing I learned is that if Tre picks up 2 fouls in the first half, you leave him in and take your chances

 

performance tonite was literally dreadful... would it lose our bid for dance?

0% chance. Looking at an 8 seed. Don't think we drop to 9.

 

Saw more of Sasquatch today than I did of Malik tbh

 

Does miami stay a 7 seed?

Yes.

 

Jsi tried every combo and got nothing. Look on his face walking off the court says a lot.

 

0% chance. Looking at an 8 seed. Don't think we drop to 9.

We aren't dropping from a 7 to an 8 after losing to a top 10 team.

 

**** poor effort burn the tape and do not do that again or else they’ll be embarrassed first round.

 

Team never showed up and despite that managed to quit in the second half

Jsi tried every combo and got nothing. Look on his face walking off the court says a lot.

 

Terrible game here’s to a better NCAAT

 

 

What 10 seed is getting belt to *** next weekend

 

Terrible horrible game tonight. I enjoyed the first 4 mins when it was 4 0 Miami. After that.. No. But let's be real everyone, this is a Round 2 team at best. I can also see them lose in Round 1. They cannot shoot. They cannot defend the 3. They often get out hustled and out rebounded. They don't have much of a bench. If I see Altuntas on the court after this season, I'm gonna lose my mind. It's been an overachieving season for sure, but this is not a team that can or will advance very far in the big dance.
