It’s not an anomaly. This team is inconsistent. Talented but inconsistent. That Mizzou game wont be the last. The hope is that we find a way to reduce the inconsistency.
I'm not ready to say THAT just yet... I've been critical of Coach White, but maybe he's been dealing with player attitudes or gameplan limitations, idk. If he can compete against top 10 teams like this consistently, maybe there's hope for him. Maybe we sneak into the big dance and surprise people?Extend him!
Its gonna take more than one win over a top 5 team for me to think white is the answer
Absolutely - I am too. What I’m hoping is that the extreme inconsistency from early in the season is finally smoothing out some. I guess I’m doing the opposite of what FF is - he’s setting up this “everyone sucks, no excuses for losing” argument so he can complain in hindsight - like he always does. I’m setting up the “we’re young and inconsistent so there are still likely some head scratchers mixed in with exciting wins” argument to acknowledge reality (or excuse a bad game - if you’re a pessimist).Ok...I can appreciate that and enjoy the wins we get while we look good
That was sarcasm MC... I’m not sure hes the right guy for the program but I do like that he’s bringing in a ton of talent in the event we move on to a new guy.I'm not ready to say THAT just yet...

I missed the game because of work and cranked up YouTube tv just in time for the final seconds. Glad we won, though!
Go Gators!!!
Notice his “not sure how they score so many points” and “not sure how they don’t have more losses” comments? He’s trying to say they suck and this win isn’t that impressive. Minimizing the defensive effort and Auburn’s impressive start to the season. Is Auburn a top 5 team? Probably not. But they are a very good one and will scare teams come tourney time. Crazy year - lots of parity. Will be interesting to see what the tourney holds. I’m guessing a lot of chaos.@SeabeeGator yeah I see what you're saying about FF. He is doing it again minimalizing a win vs a top 5 team and that is ok to wallow in that for him. Obviously its a huge win vs a top 5 team that has been riding high since last year's Final 4 run. When you hold a top 5 team to 47 points when they average 81 points a game is huge and we have to give credit to White and that players for a great executed game plan. We totally dominated this game, especially in the 2nd half. We were working the ball inside out to perfection. Nemb was able to fight off his flu bug and show some toughness and grit and heart to help lead this team to victory. Payne just played his way into the spotlight and will have NBA scouts taking another look at him. Blackshear and KJ once again steady and played tough as usual. Really impressed yet again with KBJ with 11 points and 16 rebounds. All in all huge Gators victory today in a game most of us thought we were gonna lose. Go Gators!!

Aub has been killing teams on the board. I think Payne and Blackshear out there together really helped... We shot 62.5% 3s! .... FT 80%.
But TOs = 8 Aub - UF 15. ..... Rebs UF = 44, AUB 29 against a banging team. Gators scored 34 in the paint, Aub 18.
We beat the #4 team in the nation by 22 points!
Mike White needs more than one game like this. In our previous 5 losses, White owes us 3 less losses. Perhaps White just step back quietly to let our near the basket game unfold. Blackshear has needed a partner 'neath the basket = enter Omy Payne. Payne got 19 points, 11 rebounds; that's a big mark by even any veteran Gator. Locke really helped with timely 3s.
These sleek athletes can do even better. + Locke scored only 11 points. He can give us 16. Johnson scored only 8 points; he can give us 16. Nembhard scored only 6; he can give us 14. By this I mean that we have more luster in us. Just bring it out. No backsliding allowed by White's 'developings'.
Defense set the table so we could feast on our extra-high % FG shooting. We shot 50% FG%..... We shot 62.5% 3s! .... FT 80%.

Way way to go, Gators. Now stay calm-confident and thump mighty LSU next to show that this is our real turnaround stretch of the season.
We didn't suck today; we may well suck next game. Whether we do or don't, half the board will be furious and confused.So, we don’t suck any longer?
I’m so confused.
