Overall being up 9 I’ll take it! Had you told me that before the game started I’d have snap accepted. We haven’t even shot well but the D looks better today just need to watch the fouls. Go cats!

Jasper might be the worst case of AAU’itis I’ve ever seen.

I don’t even think the kid is that selfish. Just has so many bad habits. Shoulda just stayed at a normal high school to develop

Actually only 9 teams played a worse schedule. Every other team in their league played 2-3 power 4 teams at minimum not 0 like they did.

I can't believe Linardi doesn't have them last 4 in at least. I know he's not the best at it or close to it bust just saying.

Way to go Jasper. Kid is a walking turnover/bad shot chucker. Can’t help himself. And can’t play D. Kid is lost, and I don’t see Pope saying anything to him, ever.
Pope doesn't need to say that. He just needs to tell him that he’s not ready yet and then give him the appropriate minutes for any player who isn't ready yet.

The whole argument is dumb tho so I don't want to get into it.

The fact is Miami OH isn't winning this thing. They are lucky to win their 1st rd game.
Any other team you put in there .......ditto.

My thing is why would u not put in someone that is clearly more deserving. All those teams on the bubble, on a neutral court MIami would be the underdog.....and by several points in some instances.

It makes no sense to me to put them in just based on record. They won the majority of their conference games by single digits. They weren't dominant against a horrible conference........on what planet should they get in.

This team is so frustrating. Last minute with a golden chance to push the lead to 14-16 points.
instead, a missed layup, free throw, give up a three, and can’t make a shot on two straight possessions. Will be sweating this out now.

Pope is difficult to listen to ... at times.
There is a mumbling cadence to his delivery.
I struggle to understand what he says.
Perhaps he is just amped up and wants to get into the locker room ?? If so, I get it. Good half !!

No they shouldn't there's no precedent for any team who made it through their regular season unbeaten being anywhere close to left out of the ncaas. I don't care if they only played Richmond high school from coach Carter lmao

Again there's nothing they can really do about that. They're a tiny MAC school. It's not like they're gonna schedule Michigan st Gonzaga Arizona Kansas etc. Games are scheduled years in advance. They're the only team who can say they beat everyone they played, which are schools of similar size and resources

Who cares, Aberdeen is smart enough not to get 3, and if he does, oh well

They haven't beaten anyone. I don't think some have looked at the actual teams they have played.

The new good news for Miami OH UMASS was 204 on NET and that win will turn from a quad 4 loss to a quad 3 loss tomorrow.

Jasper Johnson is a walking disaster. We would have been up 20 if his *** was permanently parked on the bench.
I just don't understand how a coach doesn't come unglued on him. He desperately needs tough coaching. He has obviously always been allowed and probably encouraged to do whatever he wants. His coaches have failed him at every level. I hate to keep talking bad about the guy, but he has to change at some point.

He should've matriculated at Woodford County, versus the ego-centric focus at Elite.

He needs to chew him out but I am sure Pope is only Mr. Positive

We just have to get used to it i beleive he got a 2 year deal on his contract
That's fine. I have nothing against him. I hope and expect he will be better next season. Right now, with our season on the line in every game, he just needs to sit and learn by watching.

Maybe, maybe he needs to light into his *** on the bench after a stupid, boneheaded, selfish play.

It’d be great if pope had the balls to tell his players to stop shooting threes when going inside or driving is absolutely killing the other team. So many unnecessary force shots especially against a zone. Move the ball and find your lanes.
