Tip time moved to 8:04.

Miami up 5-0.

I think we can matchup decently well on defense, we would just have to wear out larkin and pressure him constantly. On offense, I see Otule and Gardner having a lot of trouble scoring with their length and size, so the scoring load would fall on blue, wilson, junior, and lockett. Thats assuming they win of course, which i think they should have no problem doing against this streaky Illinois team. 

[TallTitan34]

Miami started out on fire.  Now neither team can make a shot.

7-2.

[TallTitan34]

7-7    This is an ugly game.

[TallTitan34]

Do both teams live and die by the three?

Do both teams live and die by the three?

Illinois definitely does, not sure yet about Miami.

[TallTitan34]

12 combined three point attempts in under 8 minutes and they've made 3.

They just keep jacking it up.

Wtf is with the connection? Anyone else's tv keep getting choppy

[TallTitan34]

3PT

UofI:  4/8
UM:    2/8

[TallTitan34]

Hopefully Illinois can blow their three point load tonight and go cold on Thursday.

1) why is Gardner playing for Miami?
2) why does Illinois rim sound like an aluminum can when they hit it?

Fun game to watch thus far, neither team really scares me as a potential matchup.

Miami does not scare me.

Bring em on.

can you imagine that matchup?  DG is clearly superior skills wise.

Anyone know if MU is down in Austin scoutin' this game in person?

[netty24]

Larkin seems to be bothered by pressure/double teams, something i am sure he will see if they advance.

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

I don't know anything about it but I'd imagine they would... Probably Chew & Wainwright each scouting each team?

[4everwarriors]

I'm not down with this neon shoe color thing.

[TallTitan34]

Is there anything more than can be learned being there instead of watching on tv?

Yes. Buzz said before that you can hear the coaches and what they are yelling or instructing etc.

[TallTitan34]

Ah gotcha.

[DCWarriors04]

Is Miami a good 3 pt shooting team...or are they just on fire right now.
