If we can win Tuesday I’m go to drive over Wednesday. Would have gone Tuesday but can’t get out of a meeting.

UM, coming off worst season in 27 years, hopes to do something “crazy” at ACC tourney​

-Miami coach Jim Larranaga and his players said they now have a boost of energy and confidence heading into the postseason after ending the regular season at 8-16, the worst record for a UM team since the Canes went 0-18 in the Big East in 1993-94. It was also coach Larranaga’s lowest winning percentage in 23 years and the third consecutive losing season for Miami after making the NCAA Tournament three years in a row and twice reaching the Sweet 16.

-The UM men’s basketball program is trying to rebound from a three-year slide that began when the program was linked to an FBI investigation. Although the team was cleared, recruiting suffered for the next two cycles. There has also been a rash of injuries that left the Canes with just six healthy scholarship players much of this season.

-Asked if there may be an issue with the team’s strength and conditioning program, Larranaga said that was not the problem, that it was just bad luck.

-Larranaga has been meeting with players to begin assessing their futures. Due to the pandemic, the NCAA is granting all players an extra year of eligibility. So, even the seven seniors can choose to come back, turn pro or enter the transfer portal. After initial talks, Larranaga said he expects players to decide in April.


 
In fairness, Pittsburgh has lost 3 or 4 players due to suspension and transfers so it is quite possible that Miami could get a win on Tuesday.

Would be nice to win at least a game in the tourney. Beyond that, our road would be Clemson, GT (they're red hot), and UVA.

Something crazy? You have scholarship players and you have to win 5 games in 5 days. That being said they can beat a depleted Pitt team and give Clemson a game.

There are no "injuries aside" arguments when most games we've had 6 scholarship guys available and only 2 or 3 would be starters if everyone was healthy.
