Miami at VT 7pm ACCN

[Gables Canes]

Hugely important game. Since Lunardi, Palm, and the other bracket experts have us as a 10 seed, a loss tonight puts us firmly on the bubble.

VT is a 5 point favorite. Kenpom and Vegas are still very high on VT on low on us. Per Kenpom's model, VT is 42nd and we are 64th. The model thinks we are fairly worse than VT despite a much better record. Let's hope the models are wrong.

Despite 2 gravely tough losses to FSU we should come away with some confidence. Also previously winning on the road will help us here. I like Miami -6

Aluma and Mutts deservedly get all the press but don't want to see the kid from Orlando, Hunter Cattoor, going off on us with a barrage of 3's. He can be deadly.

VT played last night on the road after playing Saturday. They lost to UNC by 10 (game was close until the last couple 5 minutes), but VT should be a little tired.

I’m ready to celebrate not having to go up against buzz Williams led teams anymore. One of my favorite coaches in college hoops

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Getting 5 against this god awful Tech team that played twice in the last 4 days. Something is way off but I’ll take that trap line.

 

[Miami04]

What am I missing? 10-9 VT. 2-6 in the ACC.
5 point favorites. 82% win chance on ESPN.

The ref was about to blow his whistle and then just pointed at Moore to stand up. Wtf

Zero clue. I put 100 on canes to cover the alternate -3.5

These announcers are horrendous.

 

[RBradleigh]

Sam went up strong there, like it. Respect that man

 

[jkdood]

Can't take her voice so on mute. Let me know if they say anything interesting (so far they haven't).

 

[moneymanj]

This chick is just reading stats, and the commentary sounds like she started watching basketball 2 months ago and is reading a script.

 

[scane]

Camera angle and audio mix are both terrible

 

[scane]

A little too frenetic since Kam and another player went to the bench

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Anybody know why were in zone against a team that loves jacking threes and get a lot of Long off rebounds?

 

[chris2183l]

Don't think they can afford to have multiple bench guys in at the same time for long stretches...just doesn't seem to flow when they go that route

 

[jkdood]

A little too frenetic since Kam and another player went to the bench

I feel ya (and agree... Im actually missing that other player right now)

 

[RBradleigh]

Not as bad as at Duke, that was making me dizzy

 

[jkdood]

Maybe its a question of SAMantics, but other players need to tighten up!
