Second half, LSU couldn't miss a shot. We lead every statistically category, except 3 pointers and shooting percentage. It wasn't about playing hard, it was they switched to zone and had a few guys trying to play hero ball for about 5 minutes. During a time out that stopped.My summary of Gator bball fans (you know who you are) this season...:
First half or so of this season: "We have GOT to learn how to hold a lead, finish games, and find a way to win! NO HEART! Faggity Todd and The Queers SUCK!"
Second half of the season so far: "Yeah, yeah, yeah... we are now finding some heart, finishing games, and winning, but we aren't winning by double digits! NO HEART! Faggity Todd and The Queers SUCK!"
Let me know if I got that right.

I agree with your comparison to Scottie Lewis and I do agree that both players should or should have taken advantage of the four years of college, I want to believe that Riley is more focused on basketball than Scottie ever was.
If you recall, after his freshman year Scottie decided that he was a social justice warrior first and a college basketball player second and his game regressed from that point forward. Call it a distraction or call it karma or whatever you want but he lost his edge and never found his game to go along with his athleticism.

It was a fun game, we were on the side of the home basketball in the 2nd half. Mrs Dougie, was yelling pass the ball you dumbasses.

ScottieS has made it less appealing for students to attend and it has bleed over to others not attending because the once intimidating atmosphere is essentially gone, even when student section is now full.
At least he is consistent in his effortS to degrade the game day atmosphere across all sports other than his beloved Olympic or bat and ball sports.

This is great to see. Much better than “we’re constantly evaluating….”
Golden: “But our halfcourt execution especially against zone or junk defenses has not been nearly good enough. And that’s not on [Coach Kevin] Hov, that’s on me, I need to make sure we spend enough time on those things in practice, and we just haven’t done that, so we’ll give our guys tomorrow off and we’ll obviously address Thursday or Friday before we head to Georgia on Saturday.”

We won I'm happy enough. Sitting at 7-4 in conference. Go 4-3 and end up 11-7 and I'll be happy with that.

Glad I missed it, but let me guess. Reading that the team blew a 20 point 2nd half lead, much attributed to LSU switching to a zone defense, all I could imagine was one guy dribbling around against the zone and the other 4 guys just watching? No cutting through the lane to move the defense or post flashing in and out just to cause the defense to think?

LSU switching to zone didn't have anything to do with us allowing them to score 46 in the second half.
We're playing a 3 guard lineup with really only 4 serviceable guards and at the same time we're one of the top teams in terms of pace. I think those guys are getting tired late in these games.

I also missed this game, but having watched most of the others, I'd guess that is exactly what Pullin did for 80% of our possessions in the last 10 minutes of the game. It's been the same way in nearly every non-blowout game, or made blowouts not blowouts by Pullin's beating the ball to death play.

Allowing 50% from 3 and overall, and still win the game? I'll take it, especially since we shot 23% from 3.

exactly, it was crazy in the stands, because it was like they couldn't miss in the second half.

Is there ever a time to not take a win?

You make a good point that I didn’t think of. Maybe we *gulp* need to play Aberdeen a little more when we get bigger leads…

I don't know. He really sucks. We could also give Haugh some more minutes and slide him over to SF.
