That dude pulled a straight Lebron. Wasn't even touched.

Needs his own "Bobble-head Doll".

Florida is up 44-41 at the under 16 timeout. Haven't played great D this half. Lots of easy baskets for South Carolina

Can anyone explain why White likes having the shortest man on the floor throwing in the inbounds pass?

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 55-46 at the under 12 timeout. We are moving the ball better against the zone and using pump fakes (great to see us finally using) well. Stone is having his best game in a month and he has only taken 2 shots. He is rebounding well and passing well

Edit: Now it's the under 12 timeout. Nothing changed but South Carolina going to the line now

Same reason we let URG be a mod...to make him feel special.

It depends on the play call...1 big is down low, 1 sceens, 1 goes for the oop, and a shooter ( Allen or Barry on the outside) that leaves PG inbounding

 

[diehardg8r]

You mean turning the ball over.

Strategy implemented by the head coach of the #13 team in the country?

 

[diehardg8r]

Chiozza has thrown it in twice, two T.O.

 

[GatorJ]

Trying to catch up... you referring to the flop? When will sports call a foul for that? In bball it should be a technical.

Yes. It was abysmal.

 

[GatorJ]

We are getting eaten up in the paint right now.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 66-57 at the under 8 timeout. We are playing better right now, but South Carolina keeps posting up Thornwell and we need to figure out how to stop it

 

[diehardg8r]

MIght start with getting Kasey Hill off of Thornwell. I thought that was just a mistake the first time. WTF??

 

[diehardg8r]

Frank is going for a matchup challenge the next 7 min and we need to answer.

 

[CGgater]

"Chipzza got away with one." . What a dbag.

 

[CGgater]

"Allen jumped into him." . Again... dbag.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 80-64 at the under 4 timeout. We have played great this half. We need to keep it up for the final 3 minutes

 

[MertzJay26]

Does anyone else know the exact moment the game swung in the first half? Simple answer: When USCe went to a zone defense, we completely went flat. Why? B/C as I have said numerous times this season, Mike has zero concepts when it comes to attacking a zone defense. It is a shame too b/c this is a good team and whether watching live or on TV, I shake my head in amazement in Mike's inability to understand zone offense. Yes, USCe is a good defensive team. But a darn good D-1 team like UF should have a better method and understanding of how to play against a basic zone defense. My guess is USCe will continue to play zone D in the 2nd half and Mike's answer will be to try and shoot over the top of it. It may work, but that is not a zone offensive attack per se.

Bump

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida wins 81-66. Didn't think we could do that with Barry not playing much and Egbunu out, but what an amazing 2nd half. Big props to Allen...might be his best overall game in all categories!!!!! On to Saturday against UK. Keep getting better and keep figuring out how to play and win without Egbunu

 

[BMF]

Nice win. Impressive 2nd half.
