BenjaminRivals SuperCane Staff Jun 7, 2022 4,786 674 113 Nov 28, 2023 #33 Glaring takes in this game Miami does not have a true point guard to run the offense. Kentucky has the athletes to run with Miami and has shown they are better in transition. Miami is losing the assist battle and the paint points battle by a wide margin. Canes don't have a presence inside without Omier on the floor; got into foul trouble early. Miami needs a third scorer to step up. It can't be just Poplar and Omier. That's not enough against the best of the best in college basketball.
