Men vs Florida Game Thread

Who fed the guards stupid pills for breakfast 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Green should not run the slowed down, last second shot offense. It's been multiple times this year where he can't get it set up in time.

[mustache eagle 2,405]

If we simply improve our offense to just “bad” then we’ll win

[GTNupe11 2,034]

What the hell Wendell Green? Like seriously, what the hell was that? You have 25 seconds to do something and you don't do anything to get the offense going...

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Interesting stat: we are leading in rebounds and assists but we don't a single steal or block.

[BigBlueWDE 1,136]

What an ugly half of basketball. Florida ugly brand of bball rubbed off on us. Wendell and KD are terrible today

Jabari looks frustrated. Hope he gets in their ear during halftime.

I wonder if we wouldn’t be more affective with jabari defending castleton 

jabaris athleticism 

But.......Castleton has that look in his eye.....🙄

[AUGoo 2,664]

Hard to imagine we don’t have a time running out play

that was aweful

At least Moultry stayed on sides!

Tournament revealed the top 16 teams. Purdue and UCLA in our bracket. Not great matchups for us.

This same absent-mindedness is also what cost us the Arkansas game at the end of regulation...stupid low-% halfcourt shot that sent it to OT

Nah, we do but Green shouldn't be the one running it. Give it to anyone else at that point.

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,670]

Pretty good half by Jabari, Walker Kessler recovered after a non-ideal start vs Castleton; thought he finished well. Nothing I can say about the guards on offense that we aren't all saying, but I thought they did really well on defense across the board. Gave up some open threes but that just comes with the team sometimes. 

I don't think the game should get away from us even with the STELLAR offensive production we've had to this point

They cleared out the lane so he could drive it … and it looked like he thought it was a different play

I know I'll get down votes on this take but KD Johnson is a freaking turnover machine that needs to learn how to stay in control. The gauge is from 0 to 10 and he stays on 11 at all times. He plays out of control and reckless. Collegiate version of Russell Westbrook and that's not a compliment. KD's style will cost us in a big tournament game if Bruce doesn't reel him in.

I'm less concerned with UCLA, but, Purdue would present some problems for us. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

What's even worse, the damn turds blew a 13 point lead and are going to lose to KY when they were without 2 of their starting guards. You had ONE job, bama!

Wish he had it at the  end of the half though.

You're wrong. KD plays out of control but he typically does not turn it over that much. I'm sure you're speaking of Wendell. KD's turnovers have not really cost us. The ones you saw today, he threw the balls out of bounds. Wendell usually makes turnovers that keeps the ball in play with the other team running the other direction on a fast break.

I watch a lot of UCLA being on the West Coast. Jacquez is really good. A swiss army knife as a guard and forward. And Juzang is so streaky, he could hang with Jabari. Tiger Campbell would give our guards alot of trouble. I don't want to be in their bracket.  

[AUinMS9528 1,086]

7-0 run to end the half was very helpful.   If we stop the really sloppy play, make better decisions with shot selection, and out hustle them consistently, we win comfortably!

[ArgoEagle 1,788]

We are losing because we are letting UF control the pace.  They have turned this into a boring half court yawn fest.  We have got to force the pace.  Play warp speed the rest of the game. Force them to play our pace.
