Here are some of my thoughts from last night's impressive victory, particularly from the first half when game was being decided... Best half of basketball I've ever seen from Waardenburg. He was outstanding, not only on the offensive end but defensively as well. Put the cuffs on Bacot in the 1st half. For some people things click a little later than others and that may be the case with Sam. Still would like to see him on the boards more, but anything remotely close to this version of Sam the rest of the way and we're not only going to the big dance, there's a good chance we could make a deep run once we're there.... Granted, UNC didn't shoot particularly well but I'd like to think Miami had a lot to do with it. Canes defense did a great job of pressuring the ball, swarming and creating havoc in gaps and in the passing lanes. Haven't seen that kind of effort from a Miami team in some time... Larranaga's squad has been on quite a run during the last few weeks. They've been putting up points offensively for some time now and if they can continue to give this kind of effort on the defensive side then there's no telling how long this run will continue.... I know it was at home and UNC may have not been their sharpest, but that was as thorough an ***-whipping I've seen anyone give the Tarheels.... Lookin' forward to watching Miami destroy fspooh on Saturday.... GO CANES!!!
