We play the winner of Maryland-Miami Friday. BC was 3-0 against those two this year. In an effort to prepare for either team I am taking a look back at both. Here is the Miami flashback.
What happened?
BC swept the series, winning convincingly at home and then holding off a pesky Miami team in Coral Gables. The Miami home game was the first sign that something was up with Williams and McClain as both road the bench in the second half without explanation (at the time). In the second game Al distracted me with his t-shirt.
Since the game…
The Miami games were two bright spots of the season. We got killed at Clemson following the first game and hit our skid following the second contest. For the ‘Canes BC was just another team that pushed them around during their rebuilding year.
How will this game play out?
Miami has enough talent. They beat Maryland and Virginia and hung around in many of their ACC games. But they don’t scare me. I think we matchup well with Rice and Dudley and they even had trouble guarding Marshall as he cut to the basket. Beating a team three times in one season is hard, but I hope we play them.
Losing to Maryland would be somewhat acceptable. Losing to Miami would not. If the ‘Canes somehow upset Maryland and then beat us, our season would be over. Sure, we would still make the tournament, but a lousy performance against Miami would be a good indicator that we are on fumes.
