RODNEY WITH THE REJECTION. SECOND COMING OF HAKEEM BABY

 

[Consigliere]

makes sense, foul Rodney who sucks at FT

Why is Rodney getting that pass to begin with?

 

[DrewStogs]

Nice to see Beverly play well down the stretch. About the only positive outta this game.

 

[casualcane]

Smart play by DJ

We may survive this, but anyone who posts this was a "good win" if we do, I might downvote

Great win!

 

[IncaneInTheBrain]

Ugly win, as always

 

[casualcane]

We win 66-58

Sam has been playing tough despite his injury. Some well deserved credit for him

Agreed. Rodney was shockingly decent as well.

Sam was 2-2 to end - well done - but sucked shooting the whole game before that. Rodney and Bev finished strong, for them, and made the difference perhaps.

Welcome to college basketball

Agreed. Rodney was shockingly decent as well.

7 pts, 7 boards. I'd take that every game from him and be OK with it.

Ugly win, as always

95% of our wins since 1985 have been ugly. The other 5% were in the Larkin-Kadji years. Seriosly, how often have we ever routed opponents. In the Hamilton years, we often won by 3 points or less, on good FT shooting.

The details were ugly, but if you’d told me before the game that Lykes would foul out with more than eight minutes I would have pegged our chances of winning at zero.

That was probably Rodney's best game in his UM Career. Not to say he was great but he was half decent especially at the end of the game

Agreed. Lykes is the only one who can the ball into the frontcourt without giving you a major dose of anxiety.

I remember when starters who played 40 minutes would score over 20 points and grab over 10 rebounds.

Coach Capel makes a good point. Miami has lost to Louisville twice and Duke once in the conference. If Miami only loses to Louisville, Duke and Florida State then they would be 14-6 in the conference.
I think those three are the best teams in the conference and everyone else is fighting for 4th place.
