Basketball Hangover?

[jackedaround]

It's one thing to see Sun Life 30% full of cheering fans, but watching the "U" playing Monday nights basketball game is astonishing...Looks like 80% of the seats empty...Is the lack of a quality football program bringing down other sports venues?

Absolutely not. I believe Miami sold 6,000 season tickets. Miami just beat a team that is favored to win its conference, but you'd have to follow college basketball to know that. They'll draw for the known big names. Sound familiar? BTW, this might be Miami's best basketball ever if it stays healthy. It's deep and talented and their wing players are as good as anybody's in the conference and in the nation.

Not as much talent on paper as the team with Scott, Larkin, and Kadji. Also not as deep as that team either.

We're going to have to disagree. When Murphy comes off suspension Miami plays 9 without drop off. This team has deeper wing play and a true 5. More scoring options. Rodriguez doesn't have to be Larkin. He just has to play controlled.

we will be a top 4 team this year in the acc. you heard it here first. uva is over rated.

agree with u on rodriguez--think he is def a liability. I think tonye is a force in the middle that u need-especially on the defensive side.

Ive watched a lot of Rodriquez now and he is a liability on the court. Him vs Larkin is what separates these rosters so much.

This is college basketball, we dont need a true 5. I would rather have the better forward depth that we had back in 2013 than Tonye.

Larkin is much better than A-Rod. McClellan is better than anyone else on the 2013 team. Davon Reed might end up being the best player on this team when the season, and then especially when his UM career is over next year. Jekiri is a better big man than Gamble and Johnson. Murphy led Oklahoma State in rebounds as a sophomore. Cruz-Uceda has started this year, like the player we thought he was going to be when he came in from JUCO. I'd put Newton and Palmer up there with Rion Brown and McKinney-Jones. I think the wildcard might be what they get out of Lawrence. Game one he looked lost. Last night he looked like a stud.

I cant tell if you are underrating Durand Scott or over rating McClellan but I figure them to be about equals on the court. We will know a lot more about this team once we play some real competition though.

Agree, this team is more talented top to bottom.

That doesn't mean it's better though. We'll see.

The acc is way better now

I loved Durand Scott. McClellan is better than him.

Maybe on offense but Scott is a noticeably better defender.

Rough first week for the ACC so we'll see. This year's edition definitely looks more versatile. It matches up well against physical teams and looks to be able to match up against smaller, very athletic teams. Like the upside of this group.

So you're confused as to why there was low turnout to a UM basketball game, on a Monday night, against a JV opponent (basically a pre-season game), in a city that didn't even sell out Miami Heat games when Lebron was in town...? Riiiiight.......
