That's a problem with Kessler getting 2 cheap fouls

So the strategy is to bounce team the ball and not even bother to cover Flan. 

Smart if so

[JMassie11]

Obvious the ncaa has told the tournament refs to swallow the whistle 

[Pedaler]

We’re getting straight up outplayed.

Teams starting out hitting everything against us. What else is new?

And Kessler! WTF! 2 fouls already.

Yep, that's my thing. It gets old that team after team just come right out of the gates hitting everything. Just gotta weather the storm

Ball handling already looking shaky 

Looks like they're gonna trap the ball handler off screens and Jabari every time. Finding the next guy is something I hope we prepared for! 

[AUGoo]

Got to able to hit jumpers

Gonna be a long game

Kessler can’t foul 20 feet from the basket. 

[AuCivilEng1]

Can someone explain to me how every team we play against always has 5 Steph Curry’s on the court for the first 10 mins. 

[jw 4 au]

First call on Kess was questionable, as they allowed the Miami guy to trip KD; but did not allow Kess the same. Then an over the back???  He’s over his back just standing there. It looked like he went straight up to me.

Cardwell can still have good minutes. Miami doesn't play a lot of bigs. Just play smart, don't bite on fakes, and BOX OUT.

Yep. That’s the plan. They don’t look prepared for it at all at the moment. 

[MaxCohen216]

Their defense is more active than our offense.  They are trapping high forcing our guards to give the ball up or turn it over. 

We have not taken advantage of our height advantage, and now will have to suffer through most of the first half with Cardwell in the game.

Why couldn't we be the aggressor?

[33gles]

I'd be much happier if Xfinity didn't decide this was the week to crap the bed on their browser streaming.

[AUBwins]

The first foul they duped him with a clever move by the guard.

Yeah, we haven't see that before, smh.

[Dual-Threat Rigby]

that's what I was saying a couple pages ago about running the zone

edit: they shoot 38% from 3 as a team and all starters shoot 31% or better from there iirc

[Maverick.AU]

And Miami makes a long 3. 13-4 Miami smh

[tgrogan21]

Cooooool, coooooool, coooooool.

Just hit every effing shot why don't ya?

[WarEagle1983]

This team can flat out shoot. 3 guards that can shoot. We need to use our size and get them in foul trouble 

[Maverick.AU]

KD fouled and will shoot 2. 13-4 Miami 14:59

makes both 13-6

Edited March 21 by Maverick.AU

[jw 4 au]

Not sure if this stat is available, but do teams shoot their best games against us?  Miami can’t miss right now. Seems we see that a lot. 

[AUBwins]

Not going to outrebound Cambridge though

[homersapien]

Foul saved another turnover
