Official NCAAT Game 1 vs Drake thread!

good news: wong can’t possibly play worse than today

more good news: we can’t possibly shoot worse than today

better news: our team panicked but realized driving was the key. they pressed and stuck to it.

great news: we advanced and we likely play as underdogs next game

GO CANES

never a doubt

Idk about that. More like a win by .0005. It went from a struggle to up by 5 real quick.

True. Not gonna lie here, when Calhoun hit those two threes to go up six. Then their big got a lay up, I was more than prepared for the L.

I need to go back and see when Coach took Zay out. That’s what sparked the run. Trying not to sh*t on Zay but that let Pack take control. That plus the press saved us tonight.

Despite the win, where the **** was Wong all night? You can't be having a starter laying a big *** egg in a tourney. Those stats are AWFUL.

Wong is notorious for this. He'll probably drop 25 next game lol.

pretty crafty old Coach... ya been saying ya don't like how we can't barely close out a lead, so he figured OK we'll start the final 3 minutes behind. SmartF!

 

[Pentagon Cane]

Showed some great heart in an otherwise ugly game. Coach L just said he thinks that’s the best defensive team they’ve faced all year.

Very disciplined. We rarely got to run. Packed in and kept us from scoring in the paint.

 

[Cribby]

Because it tires them out

These are 18-22 year olds and we play 8 guys, you can press occasionally. Come on dude. It doesn’t have to be 40 minute if **** like Arkansas or UK

 

[IndayArtHauz]

never a doubt

That offense for the first 30 minutes was giving me Josh Gattis flashbacks.

Gotta give coach L credit. going to full press won that game imo.. when your players don't play well and you figure out a way to advance, hats off to coach L. now get those boys ready for sunday.. GO CANES

Some want to fire him or force retirement on him

 

[TC@ne]

So now we suck at offense but can close out games? Complete 180 but I’ll take it

Bruh

Big win, we're gonna need Wong to show up next game tho.

Admittedly I am no basketball expert but why would the more athletic more talented team look to constantly slow the game down? I don't understand running an offense that has 3 guys running back and forth 28 feet from the rim for 18 seconds most plays before they even look to get into their offense. Miami looks disinterested.

So as soon as Miami, the longer more athletic team, picks up the pace offensively and defensively the less athletic fundamentally sound team can't keep up. Some things are so obvious I don't understand why that's not the gameplan from the opening tip.

Changed the whole game and Drake couldn't adjust..took the big man out the game who was killing us inside

 

[skyman]

Purdon’t sucks ***; most overrated team in the Nation.

Farleigh Pausingson beat’em!

FDU has some fckin Dawgs on that team, those boys played like if they didn’t win they were gonna meet Purdue in the parking lot lol

You seen them boys woo walkin at the post game interview.. Them boys had to come back to the trenches with the W..

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Poplar’s been really big the past few games. He’s an important guy who doesn’t really get the credit

 

[txcanes]

Meh, in every other Miami sport it's the coach's fault. Not sure why Mario is expected to win with a true freshman QB while L gets to sit back and watch his guys fail.

There he is on que. Has not watched a game all year, and here he is bashing.

We have the dumbest fans in collegiate athletics, are you shocked they would say this nonsense?

Especially that jerk.
