Game 14- Miami

[csims0917]

This game is currently ranked as a Q1 game for us. Could be a game changer for the resume.

Because it's on the road, it will likely remain a Q1 game unless Miami really falters. It has a high Q2 floor.

I've been worrying about Miami's 3-point shooting (and our lack of 3-point defense) for several days now. Someone please tell me why we're gonna be okay in this game. 😆

It’s a new year. We will be fine!

This is how I'm feeling as well. We've been able to run up the score on the cupcakes we've faced, but pissed down our legs against the 2 quality mid-majors we've faced. Mainly due to being out of position defensively.

 

I'm hopeful we can turn it around, but on the road against a quality opponent this will likely be our toughest test in MAC play. History shows no MAC team has gone undefeated in conference play since 1958. If I had to pick a game on the conference schedule that we're most likely to lose it would be this one.

I agree, it just stinks that it's so early in the conference schedule.

Sight lines at Millett Hall are brutal.

I've never been there but it looks like it would be tough to shoot there, based on how it looks on TV. It reminds me of the ballrooms that some of the early season tournaments are held in, just bigger.
