[Eric15]

1/5/22 at Miami: we had an 18-point first-half lead, and lost 88-87.
3/5/22 at home: we had an 18-point second-half lead, and an 8-point lead with 1:44 left, and lost 75-72.
1/16/23 at Miami: we had an 11-point second-half lead, and lost 82-78.

This is a huge game on Saturday to really start to get our resume moving in the right direction. No more drama like in the last three games.

We have to guard the 3 point line. They have 4 guys shooting 42% from there and a 5th at 37%. They are the 3rd best shooting team in the country.

Remember when Miami first joined the Big East and everyone else got to chalk them up for two easy W's? Those were the days.

If there was a sexier time in college basketball history, I would love to hear it.

Constantine Popa, their center.

That’s who I remember well too.

I miss the Miami football teams of old. Guys making more than pros. Coke flowing freely. Sweet jerseys. Those teams were fun.

Every story needs a good villain.

Moral of the story - don't get a big lead on these fellas.

Bad look but the guy could play a little. I'd kill to have him on this team.

The 2 games in 22 Cuse did not have a lead guard. I sat courtside and watched Cuse struggle to inbound the ball 3 or 4 times inside the last minute and turn it over. Walked out of the Dome that day in shock that a program I started watching with Pearl and then Sherm couldn't inbound a friggin basketball. Didn't renew my tickets but thinking I may get seasons again next year now that the product is on a slight uptick.

Constantine was the man!

Rumored to be 25% pterodactyl.

Is that someone's awkward tiny 15 year old son wearing a player's game worn jersey and shorts?

 

[cusefan88]

Feels like a decent matchup because they also only have two bigger guys. Obviously Omier is top quality but still. A lot different from playing against Bacot and Ingram at the same time.

Was playing in a TS poker tournament that day and once I saw that 8 pt lead I stopped paying attention until the rest of the room started howling. That loss was the final nail in the no losing seasons since 1968-69 streak.

Slide rule was broken, I guess.

No. Torrance was out, and we had no one else who could beat their pressure.

Not the finest moment for Joe, Buddy and Cole Swider

 

[orangepassion]

So you're saying we should spot them a bunch of points and try to sneak up in the end? 3D chess.

Yeah, I have been disappointed by losing so many times to Miami when I didn't think it would even be a competitive game. Give Larranaga some credit.

The current generation has Boban. We had Popa!

 

[Sbucketball]

Is our perimeter defense good or have teams just shot poorly against us? It will be really important v Miami.

 

[Eric15]

Miami FSU in a great game on ACCN. FSU was up 16 a short time ago and now they’re up only 2.

 

[pearl31]

The Maliq-Omier matchup will be really interesting

Lots of missed open shots have helped in wins
