Frankly, being down by 3 is fortunate.

If not for the tech and antwone stepping early on a free throw it’s tied

Oh, and keep Perry on the bench.

I feel like we’re lucky that it’s only a deficit of 3 points.

Akron is clearly the best team we’ll see until we get to the Sweet Sixteen.

Better second 10 than the first 10, still not physical enough but I saw better effort. Can we avoid another second half cold spell?

Evan Ipsaro is not walking through that door in uniform. Somebody has to replace him. And I don’t think they’ve quite figured out how to do that yet.

Perry hasn’t been good but without Evan we need some other guys who can handle the ball. The reality is we lack that at the moment

We need Perry, and despite his poor play the past few weeks I’m willing to let him work it out without killing his confidence in January so he can come through in March

Surprisely Miami has 20 rebounds to Akron’s 19.

With all the negative comments on this thread, including my own, we are still only down 3. This is very much a winnable game

Yeah it’s not like Akron is missing a bunch of wide open looks. We are defending well. Just like the game at Akron, their physicality is preventing us from getting into any offensive rhythm.

Shooting 30% from the floor and 25% on 3’s, with 8 turnovers. Yeah only down 3 seems lucky. Feel like no way the 2nd half sees a similar percentage.

That’s the point. We aren’t lucky, we are playing good defense and that’s keeping us in this game.

5-20 on threes

Down by 3

Suder leads the team in rebounding (5) and is the only Miami player with an assist and has 6.

I knew I sensed a disturbance in the force

43-41 Miami on Byers and Elmer 3’s. Akron TO

Ps, I still see us winning by 7. We will shoot better second half.

We shot 30% in the first half. If that ends in the 40s I like our odds
