I understand what you are saying but disagree. Playing against that type of competition gives the coach and the players very clear, visible feedback. Cannady and Much should walk out of the Miami game with some important takeaways. Stephens experienced the need to shoot 3 pointers as he cannot simply go to the hoop. There really is no substitute to playing to the highest level of competition.
I doubt that the blow away loss will take the fight out of the Tigers. The first 12 minutes of the second half showed that they had fight in them. Losing to Lehigh at home and playing the first half like they did may well be depressing vs. the Miami game.
IL teams will be loading up on Cannady so he needs to keep learning how to get his shot off under severe pressure unless the 4th and 5th options emerge.
