I think it would be. Certainly need a split with LSU.
Or a win at Rupp, this team never does things the way you expect them to do them. Heck This team might sweep LSU, beat UK at Rupp and lose home games to UGa and UMo.

I totally agree with you again.Or a win at Rupp, this team never does things the way you expect them to do them. Heck This team might sweep LSU, beat UK at Rupp and lose home games to UGa and UMo.
Some here assume that every fault the team has is due to White's failure to advise them against it. A good Professor manages to get students to learn more, but no one gets every student to learn everything. Some classes learn more from some professors than do others. Isn't it a bit odd that these Gators have learned defense brilliantly and offense so poorly? If the fault is solely, or even mainly, White's, should there not be a narrative to explain this peculiar result?
Remember, Coach White is young and learning too. Coach Donovan had a learning curve also, of course he gave us a lot more hope.White earns his accountability. If we discount his accountability, then he should give UF a discount on his 2 million $ salary? Also, I'd like to know what White changed to get all players shooting high % FTs?
White's defense works great, but that involves focus and physicality that is low to the floor. The best offenses operate with height, up high where White neglects out of his bball history. Up high (and inside) is where the 60+% FGs take place, nearer to the goal. Can we drive to get the opposing D stumbling? Can "bigs" follow to receive a dish-off or execute a put back? Can a 3-pt sharpshooter be set for the kick-out? How many times has all this been practiced, choreographed?

The collapses this year worry me for this team. But many posters are attributing every conceivable fault to his coaching. He has had a deep tourney run and tonight the team faced a run, took a TO and came back and put them away. Not getting my hopes too high, but it could mean the team is growing up.I think it more the case that people worry meltdowns are a White trait. His team won the regular season 3 straight years at LaTech but did not close the deal on bid any of those years. His first year at UF his team was in good shape for a bid and faded with some bad losses. This year it is the losses after having double digit leads in the second half that worry some UF fans.

The problem is that HC of the Florida Gators basketball team is not the place to be learning.
