Miami v. Iowa State - Sweet 16

[TheU1984]

So they’re the next to lowest seed left. What’s the scoop on them? First year coach. They were something like 2-22 in ‘21. Two respectable tournament wins so far though.

Play extremely hard and have butt cheek offense. That’s my astute take after watching 1.5 of their games.

They beat a bunch of good teams early, were ranked pretty high and then had a terrible end to the season. Now, looks like they hit the reset button. We will need to bring it.

I haven't seen them either but their scores indicate a slow pace and maybe a zone defense. Similar to Virginia but I doubt they execute as well as them.

Should add, Big 12 arguably best conference in my opinion. They are battle tested for sure.

First guy I saw on CBS Sports HQ said we’re a terrible matchup for them

I think that is because we are similar to Texas Tech and TT throttled them late in the year.

His basic gist was that they’ve had two favorable matchups, but we’re too athletic for them

Iowa State is very offensively challenged… they were held to 36 points in a game vs Texas this season and also multiple games for them only scoring in the low 40’s.

On paper this is a much easier match-up than Auburn or USC.

They play a slow style. Brockington can ball though. They have 3 or 4 guys that shoot the 3 well, lock em down defensively and should be good.

 

[Go Canes!!]

We roll.

Sweet 16 appearances in the last 10 years

Miami = 3
"New Bloods" FSU = 3

Let's be respectful to the opponent. Both teams are in the sweet 16 for a reason. If anything, we know two things about our canes. They will play defense and cause turnovers, and the game most like will be close.

Very tough defensively .... could be a low scoring, annoying game for us....

They are a hardnose defensive team... can't go into shooting slump with them or they rain 3s on you

 

[caneworld]

Get past them, we run into Kansas... at that point we are running on magic fuel anyway.

I wouldn’t count out Providence in that matchup…

 

[NC_Canes_11]

They are physical and Brockington is a shot maker. Kalscheur is a wild card. He can 0-10 from three or 8-10. For whatever reason they started making threes this weekend. If they continue that it’ll be a tough game. If they revert back to who they really are, Elite Eight here we come. Think we match up well against them, especially with how we’ve been playing defense.

 

[caneworld]

Only wish Creighton had taken out Kansas...

No such thing this time of year. Miami has to come out sharp and attack from the opening tip. If Miami can jump out to a big lead, they can ride the wave because ISU isn't a team built to put up points in bunches.
