***Official Game Thread*** Florida at Oklahoma

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 77-50 at the under 4 timeout. Really good game pulling away from Oklahoma. Robinson has gotten involved as has Egbunu

 

[NavetG8r]

Hill making some impressive drives to the basket I see. Glad he's making those layups today, seen him miss a bunch before.

 

[MertzJay26]

The depth of this team is amazing. We always have guys ready to step up when others are struggling. Love what White is building.

 

[MertzJay26]

Talk about OWNING AND DESTROYING!! This was ugly but I love it!

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida wins 84-52. Another good win, with a good 40 min of play all around. Hayes and Egbunu gave us a bunch down low. Hopefully that keeps going the rest of the season

 

[MidwestChomp]

Excellent performance. Okie scored 4 points the last 6.5 minutes. Hill and Hayes were great. They responded very well to White's challenge. Keep it up!

.... and we were thinking how bad LSU was.
OU >> FG%= 28.1% ...... 3pt%= 06.7% ..... FT%= 78.9%. Wow, think if they had shot poorly on FTs.

Hayes ........ 20 pts ........ FG 7/11, 63.6% ........ FT 6/9, 66.7% ... rbs 9 ....asts 2 .... blks 3 .... TOs 1
Egbunu ...... 7 pts ..........FG 1/3, 33.3% ........ FT 5/6, 83.3% ... rbs 7 ....asts 1 ..... blks 1 .... TOs 3
Coaches need to make Egbunu see that over this off-season he needs to acquire a shooting touch (he has none),
a dynamo motor, a steel-grip. Then come back next year and prove himself NBA-worthy. As an inside big-man
he should be shooting a FG% of 60%.

So if Egbunu improves, next year think about having Eggy & a seasoned Hayes inside together a lot.
Then by letting Hester play more/shoot more the rest of this season, we'll have 2 sharpshooters in
Hester & Allen ready for next season. Our future that looks fairly bright for the rest of this season, looks
even brighter for next year.

I did not see the game but the final score suggests this is a good win. Yes Okie is a below average team but it was at their place, they have some talent with final 4 experience and a very good head coach. This is the type of game that Florida athletic teams often teams lay a huge egg (i,e, Arky in football this year, etc.). So good for them and perhaps Mike is making some of the necessary adjustments that have been obvious for quite a while.. Will see myself when I watch the replay.

In all my years of watching sports, I have never heard the announcers talk less about the game they are supposed to be commentating on than this game. Good riddance Brent and please follow him, Dick.

But yeah that was a really good game overall. Collective team effort. If it wasn't for the commentary, I would have enjoyed it even more.

I watched a bit of it on my cell phone while my wife was driving as we came back from Jacksonville. I had this impression too. All the talked about was Brent's career and UK v. KU.

Oh well it was a nice win and it is great see that UF went to both its bigs and its forwards against such a small team. Also nice to see the under 25 come to pass from the arc.

 

[InstiGATOR1]

Also UF is up to 10 in Kenpom.

 

[KronoGator]

That two game losing streak could have gotten out of hand but they have kept it together and smashed two bad teams like they should.

 

[T REX]

Great game...nice to see the boys play well.

 

[GatorBart]

SEC holding their own in the challenge. Currently up 5-3.
Ole Miss hanging tough and KY/KS back and forth for the final 2 games.
Impressive outcome no matter the results of the last 2 games.

 

[MertzJay26]

Love seeing the behind the scenes stuff like this

 

[Tunaboat]

Mike White looks like he knows exactly what he's doing and is coaching the hell out of these Gators. This team appears be improving as the year rolls along. The Dance isn't the pipe dream that I thought it was for these guys.

 

[t-gator]

I'd also like to add that white has a top 10 class by espn's ratings.

 

[Jbossgator8]

Okrahoma OWNED and DESTROYED much to the dismay of the Haters and Complainers on these boards YET AGAIN!! Mike White doin work baby!! He is definitely coaching this team up and using our strengths to our advantage. Okrahoma is not that good BUT this is a good road win as they BEAT WVU on the road earlier in the season. Go Gators!!

 

[Tunaboat]

The game was great from what I could see of that split-screen box, with Dick Vitale kissing Musberger again and again on the left. It got ridiculous. I don't think either of them even looked at the damn game for 5 minutes straight, and they were supposed to be calling it.

 

[InstiGATOR1]

Yeah, I watch the whole game last night and I kept the sound off the whole time.
