****Miami vs. Louisville GAME THREAD****

[casualcane]

You simply can’t pick up two fouls within the first couple of minutes

Not without lights out perimeter shooting.. which is what we lack.

We have shot the ball extraordinarily well as of late compared to beginning of year.:

If dovrat can continue to give us great minutes hitting shots, Trey & malik hit a couple like they usually do, Shelton hit his 1, and tru hit his 1 or 2…. We have enough perimeter shooting and have shown that since mid February

Also, dovrat should have been out there much more in 2nd half. We need his three pt shooting!

He also doesn’t play a ton of D and we needed stops. Not why we lost

Meanwhile, UConn lost to an 11 win Marquette team

Please enlighten us Mr Miami Basketball historian with examples of Miami getting screwed on Selection Sunday

Well the obvious one is 2012-2013. How were they NOT a 1 seed that season?! I remember the 2014-2015 season where they had the resume but got shafted. I believe there was another season or 2. Oh yeah the year we made the Final 4, we were a 5 seed?! Come on. We all knew they were better than that seeding!

We really need to win 2 next week. That’s our only shot at gettin on that 6 line. Avoiding 1’s & 2’s is paramount. There is a huge drop off after the top 6-8 teams.

Disagree. I feel like getting to semis puts us on the 6 line

Too many people bring a football mindset into basketball when it comes to losses. All teams lose in basketball.

Has there been a game that Lucas called a timeout at the end of the game versus just running the offense that has worked out?

Dont believe so. But i know theyve lost what 4 last possession games? Fsu, Cal, UVA, and Lville

I think that depends on how everybody else finishes. I felt like we needed 4 wins starting this week to get there. But I hope you’re right.

There were sites putting us on the 6 line before today. Maybe we slide back to 7 but another win probably moves us back up

Miami fans are weak as ****. This loss means nothing.

 

[Cane30]

It was just a tough game from the start. I wanted this win for the team. Tying the best record is still a huge accomplishment. We looked better the past few games, not that we weren't good already. The Cards on , bad D and Reneau having a tough offensive night is a bad mix. ACC tournament time.

 

[hoops156]

man UF is really looking like a repeat title contender.

Yep, those 4 loses over the last two months by a grand total of 9 points.

I got in at +2000 for them to win the title after they had a bunch of close losses against elite teams.

To be fair though.. No one played a lick of defense today and Dovrat isn't dreadful on D like Altuntas. We needed his shooting to really put us over the top and he barely saw the floor. I believe it would have won us the game. He's out hottest 3 pt shooter!

Your first point is why we didn't win. Not a lack of 3 point shooting.

 

[Notsince1985]

I thought for sure we'd win when we came all the way back, but I guess they didn't want to break the school record for wins in the regular season.
