Gator Basketball Noles wax Gators for 7th straight time, longest streak in series history

I hope this isn't something that will hamper his career. Get yourself in tip-top health K.J.

Oh, so @NVGator is making a huge assumption... which is contributing to what appears be a growing perception that he's a doosh.

Perception is reality.

 

[lagator]

Never a good sign when the network hides the score

 

[NVGator]

I’ll just leave this here. If that Barnes kid for FSU passed out, would all you be calling to quit playing the game? If you say yes, you’re lying to yourself. What if some random kid in Duke’s game passed out? Would you expect them to quit playing the game? No, you wouldn’t. It’s only because he’s a Gator.

 

[no1g8r]

I do approve of someone relieving the showboat freshman Barnes I’d his front teeth.

 

[Marine1]

Cool. So now we are going to use the KJ passed out excuse when we lose.

Never.

It’s just a factor albeit a major one. Still have to compete.

Nothing you just said has anything to do with the fact that you casually downplayed a player collapsing on the court and acted like it's not a big deal. Nice unrelated whataboutism, douche.

White got a T

Down 18. Game will probably be a 30 pt loss

The difference is his teammates suspected something major had happened and were literally in tears. Some are treating it as if it was a sprained ankle.
The answer is yes if it was any player on any team you would be extremely worried and almost immediately think a major heart issue. We have all seen or heard athletes die in competition.
Trying to frame this as a non-issue is just trolling.
The player is in critical condition.

I’m not saying the game should have been canceled, but I don’t hate Mike White so much that I’m going to trivialize the severity of what happened to Keyontae. And while it would be a “tough guy” thing to say that the team should “shake it off” and not let it impact them, to expect a bunch of 18-21 year olds to have a pro-level of focus on the game is unreasonable.

Everyone understands that “things happen”, and there should be no asterisk or big picture excuse for the loss, but to not feel for the players and understand their concern in this circumstance can only be accomplished by a person who is an a$$hole to his very core.

 

[lagator]

We were going to blow them out before Keyontae collapsed. We are better them

We're not the same team without KJ. All that matters is getting his health back, and for now I'm assuming he won't be playing this season. Hopefully I'm wrong, but talk about a setback for a team that was looking like it had some serious potential.

My views of Mike White are well known. I’m not blaming this one on him. He gets a pass today.

Well said. In fact, very well said.

Those were expressions of how without KJ in there then there is no sense that we will compete - not about closing down the playing of the game. Gators have plenty to learn here.

I fear his season and career could be over. We just don’t know enough yet. I’m praying it’s not a heart issue.

We've had "potential" a lot every year because he can recruit and on paper we have solid players.
Then they get "coached up in MW system" and all season we talk about the potential...

If you think I'm acting like a tough guy, you're mistaken. I haven't trivialized it at all, I'm just not in the camp that the game should be canceled. Sorry if that makes anyone triggered or upset.
