It was a fun one

 

[txcanes]

We roll.

Huge win. Louisville stinks.

Remember when we used to never win @Loserville? Man they’ve really fallen as a program. Beautiful arena, nothing to fill it.

 

[AmherstCane]

How do we not find a way to get Watson into the regular rotation.

He could definitely be another scoring option off the bench for us.

He’s still figuring out the game at this level. But I think he’s an absolute star in the making.

 

[SanAmaro2005]

We played a couple really weak teams in the non-conference. Louisville was worse than all of them. Unbelievable how they have collapsed as a program.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Played the bench with extended minutes, too. Very important down the road for us.

How the mighty have fallen. Two major head coaching scandals in a row. Makes you appreciate Larranaga all the more even though he was born before the American Revolution.

He has an unusual release, but if he can make it work, so be it. Too many people try to change guys that shoot a certain way, instead of merely improving on it. Markelle Fultz is a classic example of a guy that had a shot, it worked for him and then someone tried to rewire him and completely ruined him in the process. I think Joseph's shot isn't awful, he needs to fine tune it a bit. Reps will do him a world of good.

I don't recall Fultz ever having an outside shot that really worked for him. Even in HS.

Picked 1/1 in the Draft, he was clearly over-hyped. You are right in that the shot-rebuilding attempts didn't help him much, if at all.

Sometimes Wong is hard to watch. Still our top player but it's not all paradise.

Agree. He's still our best penetrator to the basket, though, and the guy who will have the ball in his hands as the clock winds down in a tie game.

Good team win over a team you should beat by 30 points.
Don't undervalue winning games you should win.

Bad opponent or not, this team seems to play as well as a unit as any Larranaga team I can recall this early in the season. Btw, it may have posted already, but the Rutgers team we beat handled #10 IN fairly easily this weekend.

Prior year elite 8, taking care of business and playing well - we should be ranked.

Coach L teams generally get much better as the season progresses.

If Casey and (MUCH longer shot) Aire somehow become serviceable ACC level contributors this season… hoooooBoy could be fun.

I think Casey will get there but pretty unlikely with Aire (though he’s clearly not redshirting and almost certainly will get minutes over the season).

Hang on for the ride guys.

Watson has that stroke. L hit a home run on this class.

Based on the disrespect we have always gotten, I fully expect to be somewhere between 26 and 30 at best, while the pollsters put Va Tech at #25 for beating UNC today, even though UNC hasn't beaten a decent team all year.

Combination of good Miami defense and bad Louisville offense!

 

[King of Allapattah]

Great win! In year's past I don't think we'd ever expect to see a Miami team beat Louisville by almost 30 despite only shooting 27% from behind the 3pt line. Would've loved to see Walker shoot more 3's today (kidding). He was 1-1 from 3. All jokes aside, I love to see how hard the team played. The team was tough on D and on the boards. Seemed to get most of the 50-50 balls as well. Shaping up to be a good season as long as we can stay healthy. Also, need another big to step up. Just be serviceable. Unrealistic to expect or ask Omier to man the middle by himself the entire season. Coach L has this team playing hard and together. GO CANES!!!

I liked what I saw from Casey today. He rebounded well and had a couple nice buckets. If he can give us 10 or so qualify bench minutes a game, that’s a huge plus for this team.

This was by far walker’s best game of the season. He blocked 2 shots, had 2 steals, grabbed 5 boards, and even hit a 3.
