Didn't think so either, would be nice for our best player not to match up against someone that outweighs him by 60+ pounds

There was a story in the globe today about Clifford taking a cortisone shot about a week ago, so we'll have to see if that helps at all. Should be able to get a few minutes from Van Nest this time also..

Miami 67
BC 63

THIS IS IMPORTANT!
Maybe we should add a 3 column to bc's record ala hockey...wins-losses-moral victories
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Miami is a bad matchup for BC on paper. On a basketball court, not so much. As epstein says, Miami is the kind of dumbass team with jacking guards that BC's style frustrates the shit out of, just like Clemson.
If Miami pumps it in the post every possession, it's a bad matchup. But they won't.

I don't buy this analysis. Miami's guards are better shooters and much better players than Clemson's guards. Larkin has been great this year and is shooting 41% from three. Jones shoots 37% from three. Miami also takes a lot less 3s than we do on the whole.
Scott fits the description, but not enough to mitigate the advantages they have across the board everywhere else.
There's no need to fellate the opposition just for the hell of it, but in this case I don't think you guys give enough credit to how good the team is we're going up against. They, along with Duke, are the class of the ACC this year.

I think the important thing is to keep reminding everybody how few ACC players there are on the team.
Its also important to remember that the following things are unacceptable excuses and/or explanations, which show message board small dickery: a) injuries, especially to the only legitimate center on the team; provided that if the injury is mentioned it must be in the context of a recruiting failure to find more than one ACC starter quality big man in two recruiting classes; further provided that it is essential to ignore the aforesaid injured centers freshman year in its entirety or to selectively remember it and to comment that he lacks offensive capabilities generally because he lacks such capabilities when he is injured; b) 95% of scoring from players in their sophomore year and below; provided that is important when rejecting this excuse to be sure to point out that all past improvements of players from class to class are irrelevant because none of the freshman are as good as Troy Bell was a freshman; c) that the trajectory of this team is essentially on course with other recent BC teams from a tournament reaching perspective.

A. Them being better than Clemson is irrelevant to my point, and undisputed.
B. You citing 3-point percentages makes my point quite nicely, thanks.

Perhaps I am not as smart as you, but I do not follow:
A. Miami does not shoot an ungodly amount of 3 point attempts. Therefore, they are not Clemson style in that they don't fit the mold of a dumbass team with jacking guards. I agree that they are better than Clemson and that their guards are better than Clemson's guards.
B. Just because someone shoots a high percentage from the 3 point line doesn't mean they jack a lot of threes. In fact, if you take a lot of threes, it's harder to make them.
Miami is a pretty well balanced and experienced team that plays great defense and has size. We are also on the road. Therefore, I see a tough matchup.
