****Miami vs. Virginia Tech GAME THREAD****

Just can’t give up that offensive rebound

I mean they might not continue winning. But IMO you’re 5-1 finish with 1 win in the ACCT away from no worse than a 6 seed. And that’s doable. The only “tough” games are UVA and Ville. SMU is tricky but I don’t think they are an upper tier ACC team. The other 3 *should be* easy wins.

Lunardi has us projected as a #8 at the moment. If we lose tonight, we’re back on the bubble.

Wonder why they aint ranked still?

Ya, on one hand it was disrespectful to see us unranked still. 20-5 team in the ACC should be ranked after the two wins we just had.

On the other hand, if you watch us play, it’s hard to blame people for not jumping on board. And I’m sure a lot of voters didn’t give us credit for the NC State game because they ascertained that they gave the game to us.

We look exhausted. Lack of energy in the building and/or lack of depth catching up to us.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Announcers just gonna ignore that our best player hasn't played in like 10 minutes?

Lunardi has us projected as a #8 at the moment. If we lose tonight, we’re back on the bubble.

I tend to agree with that. This would be a bad loss at home. Which means you would absolutely have to win 5 more games. You finish 3-3 (which is likely with UVA and Ville left) and then don’t win a tourney game, it’s curtains.

It’s hard to believe this is 20 win basketball team when they cant make 3s, turnovers machine, average free throw, no bench depth and they are just so careless with the rock. Mind boggling

Does this announcer even realize Reneau hasn’t played lol

And a classic let down spot after last week

 

[Genghis Cane]

Can’t get a stop.

Writing is on the wall.

 

[STG]

Defense is non-existent

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Does this announcer even realize Reneau hasn’t played lol

He's not even on the bench

 

[Genghis Cane]

We make a big shot.

Get a stop.

They get an offensive rebound.

Sigh.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

Take control right now.

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Chickenwing used to be illegal, but karma's still a b tch

 

[Genghis Cane]

Donaldson is taking over.

 

[Genghis Cane]

Too much dribbling there.

 

[JZCane0825]

Too much dribbling there.

Eh. Got to the rim. Fine with the shot.

This team is always in the fight, the issue is that it's tough to win fights when you know that late in the fight, you are sucking wind because you have absolutely no depth.
