Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida vs Boston College

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 87-63 at the under 4 timeout. Running different halfcourt sets now and started trying out the 1-3-1 zone D

Come on Nevada, I know you are watching. Like I said yesterday, maybe these guys will win despite their coach. Just tell yourself that and get on board.

wow this is very impressive against a BC team that took #3 ranked Nova down to the wire. KJ with 24 points and 12 rebounds.

 

[lagator]

We gave up too many easy baskets the second half of this second half. Plenty to improve on.

 

[LeeForThree]

Lewis having a good half. Lots of turnovers on sloppy halfcourt play down the stretch here

 

[Marine1]

3 consecutive 40+ point halves.

 

[Marine1]

Shot 56% from 2, 41% from 3, 81% from the stripe.

Very satisfying win that will be minimalized by the select few that hate White. Good win against a very quality big conference opponent and scored 90 on them! We took good shots in the flow of the offense for once and hit on 56.5% of our shots so we made our shots(I get made fun of for that line - just make our shots). KJ was big with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Scottie with 14 points and 5 rebounds. Mann with 17 points and 6 assists. Locke with 12 points and Payne with 10 points. My only complaint is we had too many turnovers late in the game the last 8 minutes of the game but we had a 24-30 point lead most of the 2nd half. Go Gators!!

First look at these guys this year - team showing a lot of energy all the way to the gun. Aggressive D looking good harassing BC all nite. Looking a bit wild in the 2nd half with too many moon shots, but then some surprising court runs with layups and set-up dunks. Entertaining basketball that i can't remember seeing out of us before. Could be an interesting year!

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida wins 90-70

Keyontae, Mann, Lewis, Locke, Payne had really good games

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Gators with 44 points in the paint and BC with only 22. Gators would have 10 blocks if not for questionable bail out fouls when it was clear we blocked the shot with all ball.

That seems to get called when the block is decisive and from directly behind. Is that standard procedure for the zebras to always call fouls on those blocks?

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Still not bringing the ball up court confidently against a press.

 

[rogdochar]

Let's see consistency from here on out. I think this collection of guys can do it.??
These fellows should gel further as they play more enjoyable basketball together.

I casually watched while feeding kids. I was impressed but still haven’t seen what White’s contribution has been. Look forward to seeing the Coaching influence, not the talent discrepancy.

 

[NVGator]

I swear some of you are fixed on White
Leading us to a National Championship.

 

[GatorBart]

White still sucks.

 

[rogdochar]

White will need to show himself coaching us out of difficulties onward to beat good teams before I am convinced. The coach coaches his teams to best use their winning abilities consistently developed.
Go Gators. Keep playing correct basketball.

I watched the first half and then went to bed. Whitey still sucks. I see the same problems I’ve always seen. If Whitey somehow avoids getting his face kicked in yet again by clowns on Dec. 12, I might change my mind.

 

[Musclepug]

I'll post clips as I see them
