Leaving George Mason basketball program does wonders for people. Coach L and Luke Hancock best decision ever to leave this program. We will be in the dark ages for next decade.

- Start date
If Jeff Jones can turn ODU around in 1.5 seasons, I have no doubt that with the right coach Mason can do the same.

That's the great thing about college basketball. Also obviously one of the worst things too.
Anyone happen to catch the result of the Duke game last night? Did they get beat at home?
You can't beat Duke at home. Only a Coaching God would be able to pull that off . . . twice.

I dunno, maybe its because im younger, but I hate UNC more than I hate Duke, even though I was sick of hearing about Duke basketball growing up. Hell, I hated the Terps under Williams more than Duke too.

Binghamton beating UNC a few years back was confusing as well. Although, that was during the Doherty era.

WTF? How do they know me? My real name is Yama. There's no way there's another Yama down there in Coral Gables............. or is there?

Duke Win and ........

Post game comments,
Not much to comment when perfection has been achieved,
Miami ran for the 1st time this year, probably reminiscent and recollected by Coach L over Coach K in past games.
And these possession stats speak of it,
Possessions, Miami averages 65, Duke 68, last nite, fagetaboutit, 74

I declared that Miami had all the pieces after the BC game, and last night they showed them,
AR - The best point guard to play for Miami, talking about controlling and handling the ball. His comment after the Duke game was priceless saying, of all the teams we would face, I felt Duke would be the easiest to beat.
TJ - as commented below, shooting 60% in league play, with a better FT stroke, few fouls & turnovers, and a runner for 37 minutes, the list is longer, but my posts are already too long. Coaching staff has done a marvelous job getting TJ to stay within himself.
ML - Miami having 2 point guards who can play on the court together or in relief, is a luxury that I can never remember Miami having. Would I take ML & AR over the Heat's MC & NC, on an at their respective levels, YES.
SM - The best athlete on the floor, whether he wants to, looks like or just looks off, he will score in double digits, a rare commodity.
OS - At his current ability, he is a winner, at his future level of play, a prime opponent scouting nightmare.
DR - A bit of a mystery, right now a very good 6th man,
JN & DB - a race to see who makes All American first, at least one of them will achieve it.
JT & JP - Both play at the ACC level concerning giving the team another team player to balance off the 40 minute grind.

it all should boil down to tj playing 30+ minutes, preferably 34 minutes, the team should be fine.

TJ quite the star again.
what stands out like a sore but welcomed thumb is tj's field goal percentages, and you can just about take that success all the way to the beginning of the year. to comment on tj, his shooting was clutch to me, way more than is ft effort. and again with limited turnovers.
DB solidified the 2nd half comeback against VA, but seems to get lost in the offense as he mainly bails one guard out and passes to the next on the weave.
The one great thing about this team is,
They seem to have the
pieces, let's hope the coaching catches up to the talent.

re: coach l talks adidas, uva loss, angel, tonye
but going toe to toe with the #3 team, is hot stuff. (Edit Reiterated by AR after the Duke game)
I don't mind saying that the VA game, gives all of us as fans, a renewed hope for the remainder of the season.
TJ too only had 1 turnover in 39 minutes, the rest of his line is as good as it gets for TJ, and this was against the crème of the crop.
Especially noting that the Canes had the Cav's for lunch in Points in the Paint scoring.

coaching strategy -- round peg square hole?
tj, to me, can out run any other tall man in the biz, that is his strength, and it shouldn't be stifled.
playing 4 guards next to him, should enable the team to run as well.
Conclusion
Coaching helped make that game one of the most enjoyable, it can't be escaped though that Duke is not the perfect team at this point in the season. And Miami took well advantage of the situation.
Where a couple of posters gave projections of Miami's tournament hopes based on the outcome of Duke/ND.
We all now can dream that those prognostications may now hold water.
Miami has destroyed 2 of the longest home winning streaks in college ball (Duke & UF).
The pieces are there, now enter a new one with ICU at the plate.
Miami is now serving for their future, and oh what a serve it is!

I never imagined I would see a time when I had the feeling that Miami could win any game they played in basketball, now I do.

Ah yes, Pablo thanks. I forgot about my cousin Sal Chankenstank. He was born with an extra butt cheek but he really knows his Miami hoops.
That's the one that killed me. Maybe we didn't have that every single game of every single year, but pretty close. That feeling was the best. I want that back.
