We lost by 3. Dovrat playing more than 4 mins in the 2nd half would have helped. Dude is blazing hot. Donaldson and Washington are solid from 3 but that's really it. Reneau didn't shoot any 3s today. Allen is not good from 3. We needed Dovrat more.

We couldn't defend today. Dovrat isn't a good defender. This isn't computing for you.

Noam Dovrat Becoming a Real X-Factor for Miami From Deep
These last three games for the Miami Hurricanes have shown a real factor for a big-time player coming off the bench. Miami has been looking for a shooter all season. It really hasn’t been falling behind the arc, but the Hurricanes have been able to score and win in the paint, so it didn’t...

Band-aid on a broken leg. We gave up 92 points on 60% shooting from the field and 50% from 3. We shot 42% from 3 on 19 attempts. It wouldn't have mattered.Noam Dovrat Becoming a Real X-Factor for Miami From Deep

I am not sure it would have mattered, but with no one really playing strong D (Or any for some parts of the game), I wouldn't have been broken up going with the hot hand offensively.
We fought back and folded a bit at the end. I don't think he would have corrected those failure points (if we want to call them that).
And a long athletic big who is switchable that can protect the rim. I say 3 players short minimum. Not to mention couple viable 2 way players off the bench.
No wonder everyone argues with you. You're a moron. Who cares if he can't defend? No one defended today. Might as well get the hottest shooter out there to help us come back and maybe give them a bigger lead than 2 pts.
Who here thinks in a game where no defense is being played anyways, bringing in Dovrat for more playing time in the 2nd half would have been a BAD thing? Who here thinks his great shooting of late couldn't make a difference in a game that was back n forth by 1 to 2 pts the past 4 minutes or so? No way I'm alone in this thinking. His defense couldn't have been worse than Allen or true or Tre in today's game! Jesus.

So play Dovrat more and lose a game by 15, but at least your boy fills the stat sheet right? We were down 9 at half. We needed stops, and got enough of them down the stretch Blame our defense in the first 10 minutes of the game. Not a 3 three point specialist who 'should have played more'. To say that Allen shouldn't have played much in the second half is one thing, but to say that Tru didn't is crazy.
Also, next time, come at me with more than 'you're a moron' if you're attempting to a prove a point that zero logic associated with it.

I think down the stretch we went with the starting 4 plus Tru iirc. That's probably our best lineup tbh. Dante has looked erratic again and Noam could theoretically only replace Tre there and that isn't going to happen

Exactly. It was high pressure minutes.

Miami could have also lost more games as well. This team played in a ton of close games, a TON, and we need to recognize that things could have easily gone the other way. Why is it so incredibly difficult for this fanbase to merely enjoy what happened and be realistic about what this team is?

Miami played in a ton of close games this season. For Miami to win as many as they did, that's a tribute to coaching. Good coaches win their fair share of close games, but even the best aren't able to win every single one.

We played 8 games decided by 6 or less. We were 4-4 in those games. We were the better team in all but 1. Need to close out close games, especially at home, especially against lesser teams.

This team doesn't shoot FTs well, lacks legit depth and had to claw to get back into some of those coinflip games. When you look at what this team is, going 4-4 in those games, with some of those losses happening to other teams in the same tier, I'm not grasping what the issue is.

We lost to a team that made seemingly every big shot. It happens sometimes.
I don’t think there is much more to takeaway from yesterday’s game. Teams get hot. But UM did a lot of good things as well.
The real problem is if a team gets hot like this in a tournament format when it’s one and done. I wish Jai had switched up the defenses a little more in the 1st half when it was obvious that Louisville was hot. Just to change the rhythm and pace.

Look at it this way. We WON three games by a total of just 6 points.
That's the nature of college basketball. Tight games.
Tru's heave at the end almost went!

The box score says 60% and 50% for regular shooting percentage and 3pt shooting percentage. If thats true, that is some **** good shooting in an high stakes game. Not sure that they shot that good all season and i don't think we suddenly played bad D.
Will all that, they still needed a gift from us to win.
This is a good team. We've got to shake it off and get ready for the next one. We may get another crack at them.
