Scott made some tough shots tonight, but he made a couple TERRIBLE decisions late in the game that almost cost the U. I'm much more comfortable with the ball in Larkin's hands at the end.
It was a nice win. This team has something teams in the past havent had. That is resiliency. Durand Scott and Reggie Johnson are this team come Tournament time. Cool larkin does some nice stuff and Kadji is a nice player but Scott and Johnson will be who determine how far this team goes in the memento.

I like larkin in the the pick n roll but thats not gonna work so easily deep in to the tournament. Durand Scott offers better ball handling and a better iso game which I feel will be necessary for this team to make a deep run in the tourney. That is also why I feel Reggie is the second most important player on this team; he can be given the ball in the post and you can expect him to score the majority of the time or atleast make the right play.
Dont get me wrong Larking probably shows more promise than any current player on the roster, but for this season it is up to Scott and Johnson to carry this team in the tournament.
Maryland beats Duke 83-81!...suck it Dukies
5-2 finish for Miami and they are ACC champs. Never would of thought that to start the season. Did not think Michigan State had any chance at a Big Ten le either this year. I picked them 4th in the conference. Izzo doing his thing once again.
det was close, and ugly as sin...but I'll take it
#2...if we win our next 2 methinks we'll be #1 next week
This Michigan St-Indiana game is gettin purty goooooood
Just tuned in, time to start getting serious about watching college ball.
Indiana is damn good. I think them and the Gators are the best teams in the nation
Payne has one of the ugliest shooting motions in the game![]()
How old is Payne? Doin work on both ends tbh, that tipped pass woulda been an easy 2.
Wow that was just great D. Don't wanna see Payne try to do too much here.
After watching so many years of Miami basketball never being able to pull out close conference games I am really loving this. Larkin to Johnson with 6 seconds left for the lead and then a Durand Scott game sealing steal.
I love this team...5 different players came up big at the end:
-Kenny Kadji with a big block on a 3PA
-Rion Brown with a big rebound (and much-needed bench scoring)
-Reggie Johnson w/ the dunk
-Shane Larkin making things happen and closing games per par
-Durand Scott steal and FT's
They've shown they can win close games and in this one they hit the FTs when they counted.
This team needs to get more urgency on offense. When our guards attack off the pick n roll they can make stuff happen, but passing around the arc for 25 seconds most possessions isnt going to work.
Florida must suck if they can get beat by a horrible coach in Frank Haith.
KU can blow me, just won over Okie St and only made 1 FG in 2 overtimes.
I wonder if we can crack the top 10 if we run the table and win the MWC tournament. Maybe.
Epic chokejob by the Hurricoons tonight...truly epic.
It pretty much is a free for all. Assuming the Lobos win out and win the MWC tourney there's no way we don't finish in the top 8 or so and make the case for a 1 seed. I seriously doubt a 1 seed is in the cards (except maybe baring a Gonzaga loss in their tourney) but I think we should be in the conversation if we win out.
Winning the MWC tourney is not going to be easy, though.
Tough loss today for your boys.
At least Miami finally woke up and finished with the regular season ACC le.
