This is the story. We’re a good shooting team, but not a physical team (yet). Where the shooting goes, the team goes. Go 30% there and it’s a 1 point game.
I realize the MAC tournament isn’t a super hot ticket, but why would you pay for courtside seats just to be on your phone the whole time? Dude was about 5 feet from getting wiped out by Ipsaro because of lack of situational awareness.
I like watching Potter penetrate and hit cutters…and I hope he never speaks to Bultman again after freeing him up for an open blown layup
Could you imagine the rafters in Millett if they gave out MAC Quarterfinals appearances banners?
Why is Elmer on the bench?
Potter has looked pretty bad today himself. Granted, I’m not sure who’s actually looked “good”
Anderson did for a minute
A THREE!?!!?!?!?
Yeah, but then he was almost individually responsible for the 13-4 run to start the half.
“I’m not sure that’s the look Travis Steele is looking for.” If Hunter is unguarded within 3 ft of the 3 pt line, it’s exactly the shot you want.
at graduation play a highlight real of Mirambeaux missing layups inside the circle
just looking for positive signs to hold on to during the offseason
IMO, there are tons of positive signs. There’s a lot of raw talent like Potter and Elmer, but they look like freshmen and play like freshmen. They have streaks where they look lost/confused, but it’s easy to forget how much different the team looks compared to the start of the year. I got laughed at for saying they’d have a better season than the year before. The freshmen will get stronger, they’ll know the offense and defense next season and practice can be more deliberate.
My take - the team is one, maybe two pieces away from being in that top 4.
Give me Larry Bird and Elvin Hayes
David West and Barkley
This will be the 14th straight year of Miami failing to play on tournament Friday.
Screw making the NCAAs at this point, we can’t even make it to Friday. I had zero expectations for this year and I’m glad we made Cleveland, but damn, I’m so tired of losing.
I had the exact same thought earlier. Even Friday would give us hope, and show progress. We’re stuck in “wearing road uniforms and wearing down on Thursday” mode and it’s been that way for years.
Mirambeaux with 17 points while being -18 on the +/- is a super on brand stat line.
We couldn’t hit water if we fell out of a boat the last five minutes.
