***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida vs James Madison

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 31-27 at the under 4 timeout. Just pathetic D. No reason not to be in a zone if we can't play on the ball defense

 

[ChiefGator]

This team appears not to be able to defend especially in the post, I wonder if some tape of our previous teams that won with defense might encourage them to play properly. They won't be covering at this rate.

 

[KronoGator]

Ugly.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 31-30 @ half. A loss is imminent. Worst coaching I have seen in a while. Such a terribe job by White. Also non passion by the players

I've seen our guys "freeze'there arms extended before passing it. That's telegraphing that will lead to interceptions
And that's a display of abandonned fundamentals.

Bad coaching, bad play, indifferent effort on both the part of the coach and the players.

We may not be a “team.” Missing guys like Leon and Barry who brought the energy and scrappiness instead of going thru the motions.

I would say we are missing a coach over 6'6" tall to work with bigs.

Florida is up 41-34 at the under 16 timeout. Came out of half against the zone and White made the adjustment to get the ball inside and go from there. Couple of open 3pters putbus up 10. Better keep it going cause another 10 pt 2nd half collapse could put this team out for good


Edit: Now it's the under 16 timeout. Same score though

True, but holding JMU to 1 shot in the first 4 min is great D. Only gained 6 pts in that time though is garbage...but better than past couple of games lol

 

[LeeForThree]

I mean...wtf. Hudson just played 30 sec and came out

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

2 NIT appearances in 3 years, but our coach is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Bull****. He's in way over his head.

 

[LeeForThree]

4 min later and the 10 pt lead gone...no timeout

 

[InstiGATOR1]

He is pulling people for bad D tonight. Hudson fouled. I am not sure a foul is always bad D, but that is what he appears to be doing.

 

[InstiGATOR1]

He may screw around a play Ballard enough to lose this game.

I get that, but you have to let players play through some bad D. If he won't call a timeout during an 10-0 run then he should let older player play more than 3p sec without coming out....especially for a foul

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 49-44 @ the under 12 timeout. Ugly last 4 min. Starting hitting some open shots though

I hate to say it but this team looks more and more like they are NIT bound.

I am not arguing what he should do. I am pointing out why he pulled Hudson so quickly.
