*** Official Gators vs Alabama BB Thread ***

Chill out. We're fans. We cheer, we gripe, we cuss, we congratulate. Get over it.

Guys like this are why I have no desire to go back to Gatorcountry. You aren't allowed to criticize the team without being eaten. I want Florida to win as much as anyone here. But Florida is what their record says at this point. A borderline NIT team. They were outscored 28-17 in the second half today after having a good grip on the game. Win or not, that is just not good basketball.

I'll take any win right now and hope it creates some momentum.

If there is one coach who can do it, it's BD

They re 11-9. They can't put a complete game together. They deserve all the criticism they get. Maybe you'd like it more over at Gatorcountry where poo smells like roses and anyone that disagrees is banned.

You deserve all the criticism you get, as well. Try saying something, anything positive about them from time to time. You may like it.

Yeah, you'd definitely be more comfortable over at gatorcountry. You remind me of their mods.

There's only one thing positive to say about this game. Thank god for Dodo and the win.

Mjm is actually pretty real he's not an angry pumper. I can vouch for him he's definitely an a hole but he's honest

Agreed. The first half was great. The second half was one of the worst I've seen this year.

Billy is pretty much echoing my sentiments. "You can't be a good team doing this game in and game out." This team isn't able to put a complete game together.

Some serious work should be performed on Walker. He needs to be a "main-man in the middle" with DFS then
Robinson as standby inside man. This team has to work for that style since we have such unreliable outside
shooters ('cept Fraze). Take it to the rim and make opponents foul to stop us - ruin their floor lineup with fouls.
Hit a few long shots when they collapse fearing our inside game.

This team is not individually coordinated to run the offense BD's been making them try. I want to see game-long
serious scoring inside.

We're gonna need it Saturday. The hogs are 7th in the country scoring.

The truth is on display in every game.

We are a middle of the pack team right now.

 

[MidwestChomp]

This team desperately needed that win and especially a win like that. Will Carter ever not be injured somehow?

 

[deuce]

It says alot about our sense of desperation because we are so relieved with a hold on, 2 point win over Bama.

 

[MidwestChomp]

At this stage, I'll take anything. The dunk was Dodo's only points of the game. He got in the lane with ease. Where was that the rest of the game?

Unless you're Kansas, Duke, Michigan State, or play in a crap conference [see Gonzaga and Wisky], you're going to have a down year here and there.

This year sucks. It's basketball. It happens from time to time.

Even those guys have down years. Heck duke seems to lose to Cinderella every other year in the tourney. And Michigan state is struggling this year too. Kansas has also been a one and done quit a bit the last few years.

Didn't see the game but saw Walker was 6 of 8 from the field. How did that happen? Did he learn how to play offense finally?

Fever, his teammates passed it to him high. Chiozza threw an "across everybody" alley-oop slam. Walker did
strong moves to the rim to quick-bank it in, aggressively - belying his lack of body mass. Somebody, an NBA
guy or even lesser league tutor needs to do work with him in the offseason. He needs to learn to bang near
the basket. Geez, he's got high-end skills that he cannot seem to tap into. Wishing and hoping - even for next
year. hell, Walker may turn out to be one of our favorite seniors.
