In response to SRP
My walkaways from last night: Miami coach post-game stated that their goal was to shutdown Cannady which they did as Miami is very athletic on the perimeter. Will IL teams be able to shutdown Cannady? Amir stepped up which he strangely does against better competition. Myles style of play gets somewhat negated against big athletic players. Although Much missed so many 3s', he had the guts to take them and a number of them were just a little too long. He looks like he will be the 4th option. The 5th - who knows - especially if Gladson is injured.
Tigers played very competitively thru the first 12 minutes of each half which is actually a positive sign. Tigers and Miami's 3 pt shooting results wildly different and Tigers do not shoot the 3 as well as last year although we shot the same % last year against Notre Dame. Princeton has a lot of growing pains if they have enough talent.
Other walkaway from yesterday is that the IL continues to demonstrate issues as to the quality of their play. To me, Harvard is the most talented team with the most amount of upside but they are 3-6. IL regular season, other than possibly Harvard, will be a crap shoot and who knows the results of the absurd IL Tournament. Unfortunately, the winner will not be a 12th seed like the Tigers, Yale and Harvard teams of recent years. Finally, watching last night's game reaffirmed the grit of last year's Tigers team and affirmed the absurdity if Penn not Princeton went to the NCAA Tournament based on being a 12th vs 15th/16th seed.
