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.

 

See ya Sunday

 

This team is done for. Will take a complete 180 to win a game next weekend in the big one.

calm down

 

We played sloppy but we also had a couple in and out shots that could have went in. Everything went wrong.

Shots will miss but sloppy TOs and lack of hustle is inexcusable

 

Yeah without him we are about the same. Sure.

correct.

 

correct.

lolololol

 

calm down

3 **** poor efforts in a row. This team is exhausted. Lack of depth is showing up.

 

23-6 run after miami was up 17-15... worst ive seen them look all yr

 

That was a bad half. The last 5 minutes were terrible. It's going to take a complete turnaround. You can't be giving up offensive rebounds like that when you are shooting that bad.

 

calm down

Impossible for these guys.

 

Relax lol. Conference tourneys are meaningless

So be excited for pathetic effort heading into the big tournament lol...ok. and its not meaningless. Another win could have bumped miami into the discussion for the 6th seed. Also winning an ACC champ would have been cool

 

Feels like this one is over. More than happy to be proven wrong. Smh.

The officials have made sure that UVA has every chance to win it. We should be down maybe 6-7, but that was atrocious **** on their end

 

Have we got off the bus yet?

 

Don't blame the refs. Worst and most embarrassing half of basketball played all season. Totally unprepared.

 

When Donaldson and Reneau have 2 points combined you know you’re in trouble. Just like to see some fight this second half.

 

lolololol

Indiana stinks and they didn't even want him anymore because he plays like a *****, he only works when he can put points up. Grant it, Miami needed him but this is a terrible defensive team and he is the direct correlation to that because he has never sacked up his whole career but LOLOLOLOL. Miami is terrible on defense with him so yeah they would be the same without him. Its not tough to understand but you may only watch Miami play ball so you think Reneau is some stud. Everything he does offensively is 100% negated by how bad he is on D. He make Udeh and everyone else work so much harder. Its a joke

 

Don't blame the refs. Worst and most embarrassing half of basketball played all season. Totally unprepared.

Sorry, you might not have been watching. We sucked, but they were good for 6-7 bull**** points for UVA. We are to blame for our ****** play, but calling a spade a spade. We have cold ugly stretches in every game…there were some absolute BS calls…Jai was not asking them how their family was doing

 

Anyone drawing any conclusions about how we’re going to fair next weekend from a game against a top 10 team has the IQ of a mosquito

 

They should always foul Udeh on those alley oops

 

More offensive rebounds for UVA

 

Dovrat played only 2 minutes that half. sure he missed his shots though one was a good effort bad bounce. 88 played 5 minutes, altuntas 3 (all awful). I dont really give Jai a pass for this effort.. it was team effort incl refs. and his player mgmt
