Great overall 4th qtr. Almost no turnovers and solid defense. ASU next good luck and GO CANES !
I noticed in the post press conference a reporter asked Katie barely legible something about I think the lockeroom and she upsettingly said she would not talk about it. Anyone know if something happened during or after the game ?
Don't know for sure, but during the 2nd half she sat Beatrice Mompremier for an extended amount of time. The announcers were questioning her decision because it came during FGCU's run.
I'm really glad to hear that (the good crowd). Was it a 'different" student crowd from Men's games, meaning more women students showing up to support the Lady Canes?Good crowd. Students came out. Manny was in the house and Lots of Gold Coast fans. Sunday game at 7pm will show if we have legitimate support. Judging by the number of posts on this board we won't. Real shame.

If you consider that a good crowd for a HOME NCAA Tournament game, then you have pathetically low expectations. Miami has 10,000+ undergrads, there were fewer than 300 students there, judging from both live shots and pictures of the crowd. Think about how few students that is. You get rallies on Foote Green that are better attended. Did I mention that student admission was FREE with an active Cane Card? Yep, it was shameful, and you could hear more people cheering for FGCU, than you did Miami on the broadcast.
The game itself was a case of surviving and advancing. What bothers me about this team is that when they have a team down, they sometimes don't finish a squad off. Miami should have cruised to a win, they had FGCU ready to quit, but allowed them to crawl back in the game. I get that FGCU is a tough matchup due to them playing a unique style, but we saw that when Miami played sound perimeter D, the game was in hand. FGCU(Nor any basketball team) is going to hit long jumpers at a high rate if there's a hand consistently in their face. Miami didn't close out worth a **** for long stretches, and that's unacceptable.
I hope they get it in gear against ASU, because the Sun Devils have the talent to compete and win if Miami doesn't play the kind of ball they are capable of playing.
No one will ever care about women’s college basketball in south Florida. We can barely draw more then 4k fans when the men’s team is good for crying out loud.
Maybe the Mens games should all be free too? Would we get "real" sellouts then?
Outside of this season, Miami has had righteous sellouts in regards to the men's. The thing that a lot of people forget is that a lot of our fans buy season packages, but then sit on the tickets or try to flip the seats on the secondary market. Problem is that people down here aren't going to buy tickets on the secondary market, so a lot of those tickets go unused. The school doesn't care if you show up at that point, because they've already collected the funds for the seat.
You're telling me that a large percentage of the so-called "sell out" crowds we had in past, good seasons somehow bought their season tix with no intention of ever actually going to games? Who does that??? We rarely had a real full house (defined as azzes in seats) for even ACC games. It was, and remains, embarrassing!
Looking forward to it. We earned home court so am hoping that really helps!Big night tonight both teams have to get to the next level but has fallen short in recent times. Should be a war.
