    Pitt vs The U

    Tell me you don't watch Miami basketball, without telling me. Miami throughout the L tenure has historically been quite solid coming down the stretch. There's a reason why Miami coming into today hadn't lost this season when leading at half. Let that marinate. Hardly a team that comes apart...

    Pitt vs The U

    The committee practically ignores the polls when they make their decisions. It's the other advanced metrics that matter. We all know that the polls are a joke, because the people voting on them aren't putting much thought or attention into them. It's something for sports radio and marketing...

    Pitt vs The U

    Why does our fanbase worry so much about the polls? They serve no purpose. This isn't football. Miami winning in the ACC is what matters. Win as many conference games as humanly possible, run though the tournament, hope for a decent seed.

    Pitt vs The U

    I've said it once and I'll say it again: It's amazing reading this board after losses. Good lord is it beyond comical. The same team that pulled out close wins over solid teams earlier in the season magically doesn't have that killer instinct because the law of averages kicked in. I'm...

    Pitt vs The U

    The difference between an elite team and a good team is one that can close out decent teams both home and away. Miami hasn't shown the ability to consistently close out solid teams on the road. You look at it, Miami takes care of business today and last Saturday, this is a completely different...

    Pitt vs The U

    And THIS is why you can't let a team stick around, especially in their gym. All it takes some belief, a couple of shots falling and it comes back to bite you. That energy from the crowd kicks in and then the team starts to think they have a shot. Frustrating loss, first time all season Miami...

    Pitt vs The U

    Refs want to swallow their whistles late, Pitt knew it and swarmed. Wong has to find a way to give that rock up.

    Pitt vs The U

    The point I'm making is that there have been tons of great coaches that didn't work the refs the way you think it should be done that have been successful and gotten calls. There isn't one way to approach leadership, or coaching basketball. L does what he feels is right and honestly, it has...

    Pitt vs The U

    Defensive stops will win the game. Offensively, Miami has to find a way to finish at the rim, those looks have been there all night.

    Pitt vs The U

    How did it work out for Haith? How did it work out for dozens of other coaches? As I said before, one could argue that a lot of refs eventually learn to tune out the guys that take it too far. Even a guy like John Thompson, who would blow up at refs, started to tamp it down, saving the big...

    Pitt vs The U

    Walker is a borderline walkon at this point. Dude provides little to nothing of value. I just don't get why someone that athletic can be that incredibly bad. Even a guy like Quan Jones, who couldn't shoot, at least could defend, could be a player in transition. Walker has ZERO feel for the...

    Pitt vs The U

    Bobby Knight also put his hands on players, guess L should do that too. Let's be honest, L is from the Dean Smith, John Wooden, Lou Carnesecca school of coaching. Those coaches picked their spots. L does the same. It can be argued that refs pay more attention to the coaches that only say...

    Pitt vs The U

    I hate to say it, Miami is better off playing Aire over Walker. At least Aire won't take stupid shots.

    Pitt vs The U

    It's overrated. Good refs aren't listening and bad refs can be affected by anything and if you get on their bad side, they can ring you up. Would rather spend that time managing the game. L has never been that kind of coach, and honestly it works for him.

    Pitt vs The U

    Get Walker OUT OF HERE. Dude insists on taking 3s. HE CAN'T SHOOT.

    Pitt vs The U

    People overrate the "Working the Ref" angle. We see this narrative get whipped out a ton, L isn't going to waste time on that nonsense, and that's fine.

    Pitt vs The U

    The refs with a solid call on that charge, I'm shocked they saw that elbow, usually refs miss it. That said, Miami has to be willing to finish with contact, because that's how the game is being called. When you step into the paint, know that Pitt is going to bump and grind, adjust accordingly...

    Pitt vs The U

    It's going to happen, that said, Miami has to find a way to avoid the obvious set ups.

    Pitt vs The U

    Stop expecting people to be rational. This isn't the board for nuanced, sensible takes. If Miami isn't up 40, everyone sucks....

    Pitt vs The U

    Not the best finish to the half, but to be up 5 on the road against a solid team isn't something I have a problem with. Need to make sure that coming out, Miami takes firm control, don't let Pitt stick around. It's obvious that the 'Canes have an athletic advantage, the key is to punish inside...
