Is UConn Going to Be Able to Beat Miami?

[uconnfan68]

Wrong. The team that gives up the least will win!

Tastes great, less filling.

 

[F101Voodoo]

This has me up. In addition to being UConn grad, I have deep Miami ties. I legit don't even want to watch Saturday, got me all messed up

Just get over it and support UCONN. Simple.

 

[Spaceman213J]

I think the team that scores more will prevail.

No, it will be the team that gives up the fewest points.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Miami had all their starters scoring in double digits and shot 28-32 from the line. Yikes.

 

[August_West]

UConn has more talent, but does Miami have the momentum?

 

[F101Voodoo]

I think the team that scores more will prevail.

Yes and some talking head will say you have to make baskets to score points.

 

[jorge34]

Nope. No chance. They shouldn’t even show up…

Now this is a Miami win over a Texas team without Disu who carried them 2 games ago with 28 points and their PG Carr who played injured most of that second half and their offense was not the same after that injury.

 

[UconnFanDC]

What in the question is this

 

[Huskydog45]

Think Texas keeps that 15 point lead if Carr does not get injured

 

[Spaceman213J]

UConn will need to take away the 3. The Zags did get some good looks. It will be difficult because you have to play the perimeter and deny their guards from getting in deep on the drive.
Miller is going to be also a tough matchup. He will be a tough matchup for Karaban.
UConn does have the size and hopefully that size will limit the penetration of the Miami guards. I don't know if they have anyone who can contain Sanogo and if they have to double him, than Sanogo will have to continue to find the open man. The will be the most athletic team they have played in the post season.

I guess Miami is our next Goliath lol. We are the Goliath in Houston. We are HEAVY favorites. The pressure is on us. Let’s get it done

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Good question. @Hey Adrien! , where’s the scouting report? You’ve known the opponent for over half an hour you slacker!

Thought Arkansas was loaded with athletic NBA talent, just bad shooters.

I know the feeling...i used to get a huge knot in my stomach when we played my alma mater, Marathon Oil. Those were some tough days.

You're killin' me.. UConn goes to FFs to hang a banner..Not to worry about winning a game.. Check out our history..

Nothing loyal about that question/comment.

 

[NJHoops]

I’m old enough to remember when people were fretting over Iona.

Respect the opponent, appreciate UConn’s talent.

 

[SubbaBub]

Play our game, don't do anything stupid, repeat.

 

[NJHusky]

They can’t do that again

 

[HeGotGame]

We about to crash Miami’s party and send them home crying.

Oh great, now we have no chance

 

[XLCenterFan]

We have the momentum. Stop it.

 

[XLCenterFan]

They better celebrate now. We’re going to ruin their party. We owe old man Laranega.

 

[bendm]

Two 5 seeds (most likely) between us and #5

YES WE DO OWE HIM.

Miami is basically Arkansas with the athleticism and the ability to drive to the basket and finish..... but with great 3 pt shooting.
