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.

 

that was such poor effort on the rebound

 

Jai looks incensed

 

you have watch this kid all year correct?

Of course. Where do you think we are without him?

 

What the fck is this effort? Biggest game of the yr with a chance to go to the ACC champ and this is the garbage effort theyre gna give

 

Digging their own hole too deep.

 

8-0 run for UVA. Nice!

 

Wtf happened the last 5 minutes?

 

What the fck is this effort? Biggest game of the yr with a chance to go to the ACC champ and this is the garbage effort theyre gna give

Relax lol. Conference tourneys are meaningless

 

Just nonchalantly walking around. WTF?!?

 

Of course. Where do you think we are without him?

he plays no defense at all and puts forth no effort which is the biggest problem. Miami is above average with him so they would probably be around the same

 

asleep at the wheel

 

This is 3 really bad defensive efforts in a row.

 

Getting severely out hustled which is unacceptable

 

Embarrassing effort

 

Welp. See you guys Sunday for the selection show.

 

We need a do over. This half was absolutely awful

 

lol ok see ya next week I guess

 

The worst half we’ve played all year.

Bravo boys

 

Relax lol. Conference tourneys are meaningless

Conference tourney is very meaningful for a program like Miami trying to build a consistent program.

 

Embarrassing

got much worse, probably worst ending to a half ever. sad and silly and awful.
