Gator player tips in FSU's final shot to lose at buzzer

[t-gator]

I hope we can make the nit

I think we also witnessed another reason why white players should never be on the floor under any circumstances.

 

[Go Gata]

The SEC is weaker than usual but if we keep playing like this, we are NIT bound once again. We wither go Elite 8 or NIT, I guess

I feel so bad for Kurtz...he plays harder than anyone...and he will never live this one down. Hope the team rallies around him...

 

[t-gator]

Did fsu atleast give Kurtz the game ball?

 

[Swamped Gator]

I love how the FSU players went absolutely nuts, like they actually made that shot.

He shouldn't live it down. It may have been the single most embarrassing play in the history of basketball, at any level.

Teachable moment?

I missed the first part of the game, but apparently Billy needs to teach layup fundamentals.

They shoot toooooo many threes early in the game. They ALL shoot threes.

Chiozza and Frazier should be the only consistent 3 pt shooters. We need slashers and jump shooters. We're not taking easy baskets. We have no offensive rhythm. That's why we're having these huge offensive lulls.

No clue what Kurtz was thinking. It was a frickin airball! And this coming after his solid hustle play. I don't remember any team being this unlucky in bball ever. What is that, 4 last second shots beating us in the last 2 seasons?

Dang this isn't good. That's 5 losses and you can chalk two more vs UK and we are skating on thin ice.

No March Madness would absolutely blow, that's arguably my favorite time of the year.

 

[t-gator]

Dang that pissed me off. I've played alot of freaking basketball, how does that freaking happen

I think we're all trying to figure it out. I bet Kurtz has no clue how it happened either. Maybe his depth perception went out at that moment.

 

[MertzJay26]

That's our 3rd loss in the final seconds this year- UM, Gtown and now this. Yikes

 

[t-gator]

Maybe his depth perception went out at that moment.

The only explanation is he was shooting heroin instead of cortizone

7-5 before conference play even starts with ZERO resume wins and plenty of bad losses. I don't see any way this team makes it to the tourney unless they go on an unbelievable run. I think they also have to beat UK twice because there are no other "quality" wins in our conference.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say at this point we can kiss the tournament goodbye. Does Donovan deserve any criticism or has it been determined he's infallible?

We've been so spoiled these last couple of years. Hard to replace the players we lost in short order. I don't put this on Donovan at all. FSU is also a really bad matchup against our frontcourt.

After 4straight elite 8's and a final 4 appearance I think he's allowed to have a down year. What exactly could the guy do differently?
