Anybody Seen Miami?

[Jimdish255]

Just wondering how good they are. In the second round could face a talented Colorado squad. The kind of team that can go off on you but may struggle in the end of games.

I am pulling for Miami all the way!! To see a former Beast bottom feeder win the NC would be great.

I saw the last 10 minutes, and facing a hostile "neutral-site" crowd in Greensboro (which we remember all too well from 15 years ago) they answered a challenge from an improved North Carolina team, and buried them at the end. Larkin is the real deal, and they're a good veteran team with a good veteran coach.

They're very experienced with a very good point guard. They could make it far in the tourney.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I'm pulling for them. Hopefully they win, eventually they get their wins stripped, and then the year that UConn was held out of the tourney, there is no official NC. Take that NCAA.

 

[Danzz]

They are a senior laden team and they are very good especially Barry Larkin kid.

 

[Fishy]

They should beat Colorado pretty easily.

They're almost like the prototypical mid-major that makes a run in the tourney - they're senior citizens by college hoop standards these days. They're actually older than the average Pitt team.

The only thing that can trip them up is karma and the power of good.

Thanks. Sounds like they are set for a long run. Thing about the Tourney is it just takes one off night vs a team that starts draining shots and you're done. They have a great record. Beat a decent MS team early but lost to Ariz (PAC) who CU should have beaten twice during the season. Loss to Wake is a head scratcher. Were they locked in by then?

I like this Miami team. One thing that I factor in to my bracket is swagger and it teams have to have it to win the NCAA Tournament and they have it. Shane Larkin is very good and he does a very good job running the team. I have them in the Final Four losing to Kansas.

Miami-Butler Sweet 16 could be a great game. Keep in mind no players have NCAA experience, but I think their coach has a won a game or two?

 

[whaler11]

Oh they could face Colorado. How frightening. Colorado should worry about getting to the second round before they worry about who they upset.

 

[whaler11]

I would be shocked if Butler makes the Sweet Sixteen. That is just not a good basketball team.

I completely agree about them not being good. However, neither is marq and I think they match up well with bucknell. So don't be surprised if they get there and Miami runs them out of the gym.

I wouldn't read too much into the Miami loss at Wake Forest. I watched a good chunk of that game and it was just one of those days for Miami honestly.

They weren't at full strength when they played zona. Every team has a WTF game, Wake was miamis WTF game

Well yeah... Marquette might not get through a round too and it's an easier trip. If Butler gets to the Elite Eight they should just put Stevens in the Hall of Fame. They just don't have a good team.
