Miami Post Game

[kingtidge]

Effort with poor players looks different than effort with good players.

We simply give up way to many easy baskets. It's why we often lose and why we lost tonight.

Carlos is my least favorite player ever to don the orange. I’d take 5 Billy celuks

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

Who’s going to guard him? They shot 50% from three without doubling him. What’s your solution?

You're right. Red coached a great game. Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce our way.

Defense rank out of 364 NCAA teams
Oh how the mighty have fallen…

25 - 324
24 - 284
23 - 264
22 - 314
21 - 177
20 - 174
19 - 43
18 - 10
17 - 141
16 - 30
15 - 88

Well that seems bad I am not sure but it does seem bad. Are we lowest P4 team have to be close.

 

[Janner]

This program needs to be put down like Old Yeller. Please ADJW just pull the damn trigger already

 

[Madbiker]

Terrible defense ... like most games.

 

[Irt4su]

Red man walking

You still don’t have an answer to the original question. How would you stop him?

I feel bad for liking this post because he seems like a genuinely good person, like his coach.

Great question! Miami's lineup is far too powerful for coaching to make any kind of difference.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I appreciate the silver lining, truly.

But someone has to get stats during the game. We had guys get stats.

JJ, Eddie, etc, these guys aren't rocking out on our best teams playing as much as they do now. ESPECIALLY when they cannot play defense.

Eddie is playing a trash team. Everyone should feast on Miami.

I just can't give any more benefit anymore. I'm glad they are giving effort. That's the absolute lowest bar you can ask for. The program needs to demand better. Much better.

Yes, but it seems fait accompli that he's going to be here another year and get another go.

If that's what it's going to be, I hope he can hold the talent together that we already have. The worthwhile ones, anyway.

And something (several things ...) have to get better. I don't want to be angry or disappointed all the time. As tough a critic as I have been, it seems like he's trying lately.

We knew that 16-17 team had big issues especially defensively but that team would look like the 2018 warriors against this team.

Still no answer.

Based on the number I would say we are somewhere under the Syracuse Boys and Girls Club under 12 youth intramural team #4. I think they are 320th.

Hey, I'll say this. I went to the game in Brooklyn when they played Texas and were clearly out-manned and outcoached. Eddie was LIMPING when walking and was getting work done on his back and legs during timeouts and he still gave a helluva effort. And supported his teammates. And got the crowd into it.

I don't think Eddie is great, but it's not for lack of caring.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

Still no answer.

Clearly I'm being too subtle here with the subtext.

 

[OttosShoes]

Well we've finally reached the part of the year where I just want the season to end so we can move on to basketball season.

Wait, no, football season. So we can move on to football season.

 

[phil77]

 

[Scooch]

Still no answer.

Aren’t we paying Red to answer that?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Guys, guys. We were in a Final Four less than a decade ago.
You're spoiled.

And NIL.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Guys, I was told Red is a “players coach”

Whatever the heck that means. I guess it means you put up dismal results and the players don’t feel bad about it.

 

[albanycuse]

Little does she know that we are the worst team in the ACC.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

I had a feeling Bethea would go off tonight. I’ve watched Miami 6-7 times this year and Bethea was a total non factor. He scored tonight, but his handle and decision making are still very suspect.

Maybe he was auditioning to transfer to Cuse next year? Ah, wishful thinking

 

[hoopsupstate]

Clearly I'm being too subtle here with the subtext.

I’ll take that as you have no clue.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Can we do what LeMoyne did only go the opposite direction?
