BAHAMAS HOOPS INVITE Friday Nov 17 (Georgia 3:30) Sunday Nov 19 (final vs KanSt 2:30)

Are the refs required to act like grumpy old men? What exactly was the problem with what Wooga did? It was not a delay of game because he was coming to shoot the free throws.
Refs just can’t help themselves.

Yea really no reason to throw the T but also no good reason for Wooga to do it.

This team is more than capable of beating Kentucky and Colorado if they can just put it all together. The first half was certainly promising.

Let’s be clear. UM should be favored in both games. The real question is whether UK or CU plays so well that they beat UM, not the other way around.

We will not be favored at Kentucky, I’d expect them to be -6 or so

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Solid win, was never truly in doubt. KSU is going to be a solid team in the Big XII, and Miami handled them.

They will get better because they flipped their roster. Going to be a problem for their conference once the jell.

 

[Applecane]

We are a very good free throw team. 15 out of 18 today. No misses in the final minutes.

You take that bet all day long. My guess is 2.5 tops.

This is because of the names of the schools. The smart money will be on UM.

That's inaccurate. The lines are not based on names.

There was someone a few days ago that posted Miami can’t go 0-3 between the Baha Mar tourny and Kentucky. I should have pounced on it then but I am now, at this point after the last 2 season postseason runs I don’t say they need to win at least 1/3 of upcoming games, my expectation is they win’em all. They won’t go undefeated but I go in expecting the W as this team and coach has been there. The moment isn’t too big for them and if someone is going to knock’em off then they’ll have to earn it. I’m really looking forward to the Kentucky game and Miami celebrating in Rupp arena.
Go Canes!

It was me I totally agree with you, I’m just always conservative with my expectations. This team’s really good. I’ll be in Lexington. Let’s go canes

Just like last year headed into March madness (after 2 late disheartening losses) the team can beat anyone if all play well or pretty well in any single game. With this team, maybe even just 4 of 5, like Bensley was awful today but George and others were enough for the solid win.

 

[Bird4um]

Did I lose my bet?

 

[Bird4um]

Scared to look. I turned it off up 15. Saw they were making a come back.

They cut it to 7 with 45 seconds left, but Omier really saw us through.
(those that say never in doubt didnt see my knuckles.)

Last year we ran into a buzz saw in Maryland. Played our worst game of the season. IIRC, around this point in the OOC schedule.

Hard to maintain focus when you're up by 20+ or so. Basketball, at all levels, is a game of "runs."

Kentucky been down a bit but it doesn’t get much bigger than playing Kentucky on their home court. Should be quite a scene….
