He will never be thick but he can get a lot stronger. With more strength and his stroke it will help when they play him physical he will be able to beat the physical D and then hit open shots that he creates. I expect a much better player next year. He is got to better scoring when he is open. MSU let him miss. Pressure is too much for him. He shoots better in second halves when we have a lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerOne 1,152 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Bruce and Golden are good friends, back before the season game Bruce said he didn’t want to beat them or something to that effect and he’s probably a better coach than Buzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I’m not sure my heart can take basketball! What a fantastic slug-fest!!! Those MSU players are brutes.

WillMunny 1,383 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I think I'd rather face TAM. UF's big men would nullify the best part of our game, and we'd have to rely on our weakest part: outside shooting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e808 3,028 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Some of yall might get the tamu wish if this keeps up. I personally prefer Florida .

TigerTennis80 345 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 As y'all have said, a tough, gritty, win for us in a close game... all good for the Tigers! As a couple of y'all have said, watching basketball is exhausting! In a football game there can be whole stretches where not much important is happening but not so in basketball! I'm amazed at y'all who post during the game for the simple reason that I can't sit in front of my computer (or phone). I'm up pacing all over the house! Seems to me that in the last month or so Aden has played well about every other game (which is better than the month before that). He played well yesterday (hit some shoots, very few turnovers), then not so well today (no shots & more turnovers), so I'm hoping he's going to be good tomorrow. The play of our point guards will be key, I think, to how long we keep playing in March. They're getting better, & I expect both of them to become very good. But we need them to learn & play better now. I'm not asking for great, but they need to be like yesterday rather than today. I wonder if we could convince Hubbard to transfer. He has such a sweet shot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamZero77 1,785 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Texas A&M and Florida are both top rebounding teams not only in the SEC but in the country. Florida has some trees down in the paint and Texas A&M has 3 guards that are all healthy now and playing out of their minds. Both of these teams have given us trouble through the years but I can guarantee you that neither of those teams look forward to facing us tomorrow. One thing that A&M has done during this tourney is score alot and play with some good pace. Buzz Williams teams usually try to slow the game WAAAAY down, similar to Tony Bennett's Virginia teams. Buzz even said before they played Kentucky yesterday that his guys were gonna have to muddy the game up, run the shot-clock down most possessions and play tough defense without fouling. He knew his team didn't have the talent that Kentucky does but A&M handled them very well and it has really shocked me how A&M is able to play at a pretty fast pace. Foul trouble is killing them in this game right now and that's allowed Florida back in it. As deep as the SEC is now, nothing's going to be a cakewalk if you contend for the conference title. I like our chances tomorrow and Bruce seems to have this team dialed in and focused the last couple weeks. WDE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need TAM to win this game. Fatigue and UF's talent is getting to them. We don't have the offensive talent to stay with UF.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,731 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 A&M has an atrocity of an offense; they pretty much either have Radford/Wade go off or they stink. I don't think we'll get our wish, but it's impossible to look at their roster vs Florida's and look at A&M's as more of a challenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homersapien 11,440 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Is ATM Auburn's Kryptonite or is is Florida? That is the question. We have a history with both. Edited March 16 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
