Florida is up 48-33 at the half. We got crazy hot the last 6-8 min or so. Made like of our last 10 shots. Have to keep that up. Kentucky has like 4 or 5 3pters in the game already as well. Need to keep playing tough and with heart in all phases

Kind of looks like he wanted to dunk but changed his mind
Agreed. Just always seems like he's got a loose grip on the ball. Don't know if I've ever seen a player have the ball swatted out of his hands at chest level when going up for a shot as much as he does.

We're near that dangerous point (and I know we're all thinking the same thing here) where we're up by 15 points with 15 minutes to go and Coach White slow-balls us into a close game. Please, dear God in Heaven, let us keep the foot on the gas peddle this time.

I will explain.

We are playing Kentucky who will go inside and drive and try to score 80 pts in the paint if we let them. We have 1 small C, 1 small PF, 1 broken big C, and the smallest C in the nation at our disposal today. It's UK...fouls will be called early and often

1. Zone slows the other team down
2. Zone limits driving
3. Zone limits feeding the post
4. Zone limits fouling by our team
5. Zone makes the other team shoot jumpers more (UK has gotten better but still not good shooting)
6. Zone forces communication-Duke has used zone for this reason and K said it has worked wonders making them talk to each other (White keeps complaining about this)
7. You don't need it all game just at times
8. Zone will rest our legs (Which White has complained about)
9. Zone is the best tool to defend the post when out matched like we could be today
10. It's about not doing the same thing and losing the same way for the 12 time lol...its worth a shot for a 4 min segment here and there vs teams like UK
You don't zone when you have a small unathletic team. Our small guards would leave us way to susceptible on the perimeter and it would put us at a big disadvantage on the boards. You wanna stop drives, you go man and sag in the lane off of the shooters ,like we're doing. We don't have the personnel to go zone.

Florida is up 64-48 at the u Der 12 timeout. A 23 pt lead already down to 16. UK may be going zone. We have to keep scoring and playing tough on defense and rebound. Huge next 4 min. White better get them to keep the pressure on Kentucky

It doesn't appear that White is slowing things down at all but the refs are gonna do their part to keep KY in it

Refs definitely trying to keep them in the game. Put them in the bonus as quick as possible. Let them come back while the clock is stopped. Brilliant gameplan by Kentucky's coaches in black and white.
