True. But a girl could hope for “probable”. Lol.
Coin flip, so hopefully he can go.

It has been providential.
Not a prob IMO. Would appreciate the extra depth but we’ll flow more minutes to Lewis.

Hello from Amtrak en route to Charlottesville from DC. Go Hoos.

Have we had any players listed as questionable this season that have ended up playing?
Would probably just be Tillis and Jacari. Although I think there was a random add of Barkadale to one of the injury reports.
Carrere ended up on a couple too. Did Chance at one point?

Have a daddy daughter dance during the game so will miss this one. Anyone know how quickly ESPN makes gams available on demand after they’re over?

Right away - in fact you can just click on the game and pause it and it will stay there for you.

Two stats-y based anecdotes on this game, both stolen from some Basket Under Review product:
- Miami (#36) is the second best defense we’ve played. The best was Louisville (#30).
- Miami is very rim reliant (98th percentile rim rate, 94th percentile efficiency rating) and we are very good at protecting the rim.

Questionable worse than probable, but questionable at least means he presumably didn’t blow out a ligament.

This right here.
Anything that isn’t out for the season after the way he was grimacing on the ground is great news!
It’s a shame though because GT was probably my favorite game of his this season. The shots from a foot or two behind the arc that he was taking and making are the type of thing that will really stress defenses and make him valuable. And only one backdown into a turnover!
Someone else mentioned this but everytime he’s played really well he’s gotten hurt again.

Yeah, I know people said he banged knees, but I thought it looked more non-contact on the replay, so I was concerned. Maybe just another cartilage tweak. It’s a shame, because it seemed like he was getting back in form again. At the risk of annoying Haney, it seems like our highest ceiling performances also councide with Tillis looking good.

That’d be an interesting analysis that I’m sure the data exists for. Which player’s [performance metric of choice] correlates the most with team game score or something.
I have a hunch for us it’s probably Malik, Jacari or Sam because Thijs has had some big games in bad team performances, but could sneaky be like Dallin or Chance. Would love to see the data.
@AdventiveQuasar this feels up your alley potentially? might already exist somewhere and I’m unaware of it?
I am highly skeptical of this, but I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
As @DavetheWave noted in another thread, both Miami and the Hoos are in the upper right quadrant here. Hoos -7.5 point spread seems high.
