That might be it but I hope Miami's next coach runs the Princeton offense.
I have seen way to much one on one basketball in the past 3 years.

you need to push the ball nowadays, kids are not going to go for an offense that takes every possession down to the last seconds : Creighton doesn't have many 5 stars but moves the ball, and Baylor good grief that ball moves quickly

The Princeton offense doesn't take every possession down to the last second. It creates spacing and ball movement in the half court.
The Hybrid version does not need the entire shot clock to score.

Looks like Oregon State being actually bad is gonna finally catch up to them tonight. Beatdown incoming.

they tried to control tempo. which usually means walked it up, and keep possessions to a minimum

Apparently the only thing that can stop Gonzaga's domination is the ref passing out.

Doubt it happens but if USC and UCLA win tonight....
The Final 4 will be Texas vs California:
Baylor vs Houston
USC vs UCLA

This UCLA team's really growing on me man. Impressive performance after impressive performance.

What an incredible run they're on. Sometimes regular season momentum means nothing. They came into the tourney with 4 straight losses. Now they're in the Final 4.

Juzang carried them last night. To have any chance, Jaquez needs to join him with the kind of game he had vs Mich State in the First Four play-in game. I give them a 20% shot vs the Zags, higher than I give either Baylor or Houston.

Aside I watch Houston and Baylor play, I realize the only person keeping Miami from getting to that level is Coach L.

Way to show up Houston

Why is Miley Cyrus on my TV right now?

 

[Pentagon Cane]

As good as a college basketball game as you will ever see.

 

[We'retheBoss]

my goodness, what a game and what a finish

 

[Gables Canes]

**** of a game. Compare the quality of basketball to what we play. Oh and btw, both teams only played 7 players.

Well ... A great replacement as HC and a half dozen players who we don't have right now. That might get us to the Baylor/Houston level.

I'm still blown away by that full-court bounce pass after a blocked shot that the Zags pulled off. A blur ...

I agree. We need to make those changes now. Hard to imagine that Waco, TX and Spokane, WA are more of a destination preference than Coral Gables, FL.
Then again, Coach L is driving players away.

I think the whole notion that players should come to UM because Coral Gables and the campus are beautiful has been proven to be false. Otherwise, we’d be able to sell ourselves in all major sports which clearly we aren’t able to do.

It probably means Miami has the wrong person selling Miami. Waco, TX and Spokane, WA has a better salesman.
It is really that simple.
