Shame if he take a full week to recover. Absolute shame. Don't want him to rush back and risk further injury.

Pitt is pretty close to being ranked (29th in today's poll) for the first time since Dixon's final season in 2016.

Jordan Miller of Miami is really good, He has to be first team all ACC.

Miami up ten with two minutes to go. Can't believe UNC was favored by six. Missed making money on that.

Wong can be a turnover machine at times. He can be really careless.

Miami making some mistakes and making it interesting.

Miami struggling closing it out.

 

[Orangezoo]

just sucks we couldn't close out both of these teams ughh.

Miami is a very good team. They are better than Virginia. They are better offensively than Virginia and are good defensively. Carolina is now below SU in the standings.

Miami is worse than SU defensively ( 125 Ken Pom vs SU 120). They are a top 10 offense but they are not better than UVA based on any metric right now.

Just watch them play. They can guard on the perimeter as good as any team in the league.

I've watched them quite a bit. They are a playmaking bunch. They can turn you over they defend well in stretches. They also give up too many as well. That's where the analytics come in that show their inefficiencies when defending. They do a better job defending late in games which is a combination of coaching and being a mature squad. The problem with them is that while they look good in conference, they are doing so against weaker teams this year.

To me they are a team that will give up too many easy buckets in the tourney to an underdog and not be able to claw back.

For a recent example.. they gave up 85 to Louisville and 83 to VT. They keep opponents in the game far too often for a team with such a potent offense.

Other than they've already beaten them.

Yes but at UVA. Neutral games are best to evaluate h2h imho.

Duke 68, ND 64

Pitt up 20 on BC late in 2nd.

 

[CardiacCuse]

Non ACC but #1 Alabama vs Tennessee should be a great game.

Tenn favored by 3 at home vs the #1 ranked team in the country. I'm not a big fan of Tenn but Alabama is definitely not a dominant powerhouse.

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Putrid Louisville off the a good start vs overatted Virginia

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Tenn favored by 3 at home vs the #1 ranked team in the country. I'm not a big fan of Tenn but Alabama is definitely not a dominant powerhouse.

Teams knotted at 29 at the half. Cavs up 3 on the Cards at the half.

Quincy vs Hop tonight at 11 pm. Set your DVR's (or your VCR's).

 

[hoopsupstate]

Alabama has really struggled against the Vol’s pressure defense. They turned it over three times on baseline inbounds. I don’t see Oates doing anything special to get his better players shots. Double digit turnovers in the first half. Tennessee has taken 15 more shots, but are tied at the half 29-29.
