I admit I didn't follow the team really closely this year until the end of the regular season. So, these are the thoughts of a casual:
-The team seems very well-coached. Obviously, they play defense hard and rebound their asses off. On offense, they are patient and disciplined. No shenanigans, but the patience is almost to a fault.
-We need more shooters. We just don't have enough guys who can put the biscuit in the basket, especially from the perimeter. Tru Washington was very hesitant; he passed up a few open 3-pointers. I don't know whether that was the gameplan or he was gun-shy.
-Shelton Henderson is amazing. Pay him whatever it takes to get him back.
-I was not impressed by Reneau. But the way he cried at the press conference made me like him because he clearly cares a ton.
Our program does not travel. Purdue had a ton of fans there, and they were loud. The Miami section was basically friends and family and a handful (probably <100) randos like me. I love that our team can thrive against a hostile crowd, but it's embarrassing how little support we gave. Toward the end of the game, some Iowa State fans came and sat near us in order to get ready for the following game. There were empty seats all around my girlfriend and me. By midway through the second half, there were fewer Miami fans there than Iowa State or Kentucky fans. Anyway, the Iowa State lady had a sign that she got at the Pop Tarts Bowl. She told me that UM was poorly represented there. I was shocked that we didn't even travel to Orlando to support the football team.
I'm going to become active in the local alumni group. It's time for me to do more than ***** around on CIS and make little donations. Time to put my time where my mouth is.
