#1 Duke rallies, beats Gators 87-84

[LeeForThree]

3 min up 3.. .come on Gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LeeForThree]

Probably game is we don't score

 

[LeeForThree]

1 min left going to be down 1.. just pathetic by White. Stupid ass slow****

 

[LeeForThree]

Hudson come on...down 1 22 sec left

 

[LeeForThree]

Screw white...2 timeouts left and just let them dribble...so ****ing pissed

 

[SC Gator]

Too much dribbling

 

[rogdochar]

No Gators are hitting. I'm pissed at Egor. He has no confidence in his shots. Of course, how great would it help if Hayes & Gak had 10% the offense of Duke's inside men. Failed on last shot = loss.

 

[LeeForThree]

Down 3 let's play slow and keep turning it over.. no timeouts taken. Why can't white learn

 

[LeeForThree]

So ****ing stupid. Great loss White. Still think we are 15+ better with Egbunu. White lost it trying to slow the game down

 

[rogdochar]

Again, my pregame statement = you gotta play mean against Duke. Never let them close the gap.
Duke screwed up letting Chiozza get close. Then Egor can't handle it.

This one hurts but will be a learning moment. Should have never slowed it down like we did last 6+ minutes.

We played the most talented team in the country on a “neutral” site to the wire. We are GOOD.

LOL i’m a terrible fan i guess. The team played well and has loads of potential BUT to not concede that that was a major choke job is just being a blind pumper. Up 14 we had no reason to lose that. But again i guess i’m not a real fan.

 

[KronoGator]

Suck end to a suck day.

Any team that has a player in the middle will give us trouble, Hayes and Gak are backups at best.

 

[DarksideGator]

As soon as we slowed down our rhythm was dead. We have thoroughbreds and turn them into mules? Allen 4/12 Cheez 4/12 3Gor 4/11...can’t win with that shooting.

 

[KronoGator]

I think we got tired, White tried to sub and the D went down the drain, that's why we slowed down.

 

[Gator Fever]

Yep we should have never slowed it down with them having the big man advantage. Just keep pressing it more.

We were outscored 17-4 the final 5:29. We missed shots and had too many turnovers. Bagley 9/10 fts when he shoots 55 percent so he beat us at the line. Gotta MAKE SHOTS and we didn't down the stretch. We played good. We will be fine. Go Gators!!

we played well. winds came out of our sails at the end. We need egbunu back. really need a post prescene. Bagley was the ONLY reason Duke won

 

[rogdochar]

Going forward, maybe White should cut Egor's PT, so we can develop others. He was a sub-mediocre
player at PK80. Hope Gak developes as an inside force i.e. scorer and defensive denier. Wish we could have another 6'11" inside man to help us in the future. Ahhh, but I dream.

 

[gators4224]

Like others said we stopped making shots and started turning it over. Duke was getting easy baskets all day inside from bagley. Need to shore up post prescence. Florida will be fine and honestly should have won
