Was mentioned in a football thread how the football coverage leaves something to be desired from our internal marketing, just want to say your coverage of Miami basketball has been outstanding. A 45 minute interview in August with actual questions from someone who clearly has watched taped, talked to coaches, and has insightful questions about the team is something Miami basketball has not really had for 20 years from outside media.
Sure, it helps the team blew up over the last 2 years, but your coverage has been a very welcome addition.
Thanks for watching/listening! Been fun to cover the program, and this staff has been great with access. Plenty more on the way this season, and I thought Travis was great in this episode.
Here are the podcast links too in case anyone wants to listen in audio form.
High Point is confirmed in Greensboro and will be coming to play neutral in Cincinnati next season! So it is a fake neutral home and home. Thats an awesome get for the staff.
Yes great stuff. I’m laughing at the haggling over Travis’s new contract partially involved ensuring the three Steele kids have a guaranteed place and scholarship at Miami.
If we have a neutral site game in Cincinnati coming up, it begs the question why we’re playing UIC in Jacksonville if we’re able to get something close to home.
Both incoming freshman on scholarship are very good and could play a lot of minutes for some of the bottom MAC teams; but since Miami is very deep, neither will get very many minutes.
Appreciate all of you tuning in for this episode. I cover Miami every day during the season, so here’s a shameless plug for the socials so you don’t miss a thing:
I think it was pretty well known. When it originally happened there were reports saying he was out for the season with a broken wrist which were denied by the team. Turns out they were correct about the injury, Luke just played through it
To be fair, the broken wrist didn’t really affect Luke’s play, since it was his right wrist. The left hand injury was what really impacted him down the stretch in the regular season. Once he had time to rest the shooting hand, then he returned to form against SMU. That was potentially the one good thing that came out of the UMass loss… he had extra days to heal rather than having his shooting hand repeatedly smacked against Toledo and Akron in what would have been back-to-back-to-back games.
