Game 32, 2025-26: Miami (MAC Quarters, 3/12)

[Juice Stand]

I'm still buzzing this morning. I'm going to spend some time reading all the recaps, watching the postgame pressers, and maybe watch the highlights again. I know the Gazette wasn't going to send someone out to Cleveland, but it's disappointing that they didn't have an original article about this game. Biggest win in a long time and they just posted an AP story.

We won wearing the black uniforms today... Berky must be very happy about that

Sooo, do they go with superstition and keep wearing them? Laundry crew on the road might be tough

[bottom line]

If you really want a laugh, go to the RedHawk fan forum (MiamiHawk -Love and Honor). They are all blaming the refs. UMass players, especially the Italian, were mauling and bullying the Miami players the whole game, and the refs were letting them get away with it.

For what it’s worth, this is BIG TIME College Athletics; they will make it work. If they had worn maroon, those would need to get laundered after every win.
Every team, but one, could have to change uniforms moving forward.

Still shocked they won and doing it making only a few 3s is really impressive. Congrats to the team.

Did anyone else notice when the camera zoomed in on Frank at one point he had a plastic water bottle, I could have sworn his hand was shaking… was I imagining this?

Saw the same thing but it’s none of our business what might be going on.

Go back and watch any presser or JBF podcast. Frank has had shaky hands for as long as he's been here. I don't know if they were extra shaky with the emotions of the game, but his hands have been like that for a while.

What a bunch of whiners. 17 fouls called on Miami and 18 called on us. That's right, they actually called one more foul on us than on Miami, and FT attempts were dead even, 18 apiece. And that includes the two intentional fouls late on Banks which resulted in 4 free throws. It's amazing what happens to Miami when the refs call the game even.

Did anyone see the clip of Travis Steele whining about how the MAC didn't do enough to protect their top seed? What a diaper baby. He got to play the 8 seed who was 4 games under .500 in MAC play and if he won, he would get the additional advantage of more rest heading into the Friday game. Total whiner BS. Add that to his outburst when he knocked over the opponent's band speaker, Suder and Co flipping off the whole Ohio student section, and Miami has quickly become very easy to hate.

I never noticed it until yesterday, but if you say it’s nothing new I believe you.

Agreed, very easy to root against them.

Today's Globe online......nomention of game

[PreecherJenkins]

Wait to see what this guy says on Sunday when his team is hosting an NIT game. The MAC should protect us, UMass should have never came in, we should have played Balls State, wahhhh wahhhh wahhhh, my blue shirt.

Travis Steele is a bitch, his half brother is not much better but we have not played them three times.

[MikeUMA]

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but good job by our guys to cut down on some of the fouls yesterday. Miami went to the line 18 times, that's a low for our opponent in over a month, and almost 30% better than our season average of opponent FTAs (25.5).

I broke Twitter silence yesterday to call him out for that. Super soft.

Razzed him again this morning on BlueSky

Miami WBB plays their #MACtion semifinal at 10 AM today. Anyone know if coach Glenn Box has been complaining about how they weren't protected?

Looks like we may have found a MAC rival. From what I’ve seen, they have the bast athletic program in the MAC.

He has a good point…..time for the MAC to become a trendsetter. You have the #1 seed select their opponent and everyone else #2 on down does as well until all of the teams are gone……no, then he would complain that they got beat because the opponent felt disrespected…..how about get a lead equal to the games behind margin of the team you are playing….how about making the games flexible between 35-40 minutes and once you reach 35 minutes the higher seeds can end the game whenever they want….

Anyone else want to help Travis !!!
