as we were at times slowing the pace down to Miami's LIKING.

I have noticed this as Syracuse slowed down pace in many games this year, god how I miss the speed of decades past and this is with the same coach.

We just might be one of the lowest scoring teams in the ACC this year as I really can't see another team wanting to pick up the action when we like to run a slow down deliberate offense.

plus a 40 minute zone defense is boring as hell as I think some man could help the pace of the game
 
No we aren't. Miami slowed the game down and we didn't get the lead to force them to play quicker. UNC and Duke will run with us. So will others.
 
Our pace this year is #301 out of 350. The 2/3 allows teams to slow us down, and we tend to just to let them do it. Ennis is deliberate as well.

So I would say we are not a Big 10 team, but expect many other low scores this year.
 
This was the 2nd game all year we failed to score 65+ points, so no. And not sure if you noticed, but we have been pressing much more this year. Every once and a while we come across an opponent that wants to slow things down to a snails pace, and Miami was able to make this one a grinder.
 
Our defense is too good. It takes teams 25-30 seconds to get a shot they like on us, and usually it's a matter of time winding down, not that they get an opening in the zone.
