Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida vs LSU

[LeeForThree]

Down 4 under 8 timeout. Still fighting

 

[MertzJay26]

If we keep switching guards (especially Appleby) onto Days, he’s gonna go for 30. Figure it out.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

Castleton is legit one of the best centers in the SEC. Night after night, dude battles.

 

[MertzJay26]

Again, sit Jones.

He was the best big in the SEC last year by advanced stats.

 

[MertzJay26]

11-20 FTs. WE DO NOTHING WELL

 

[LeeForThree]

Down 2 under 4 timeout. 11 for ****ing 20 FTs. Should be up easy if they didn't truck at the line lol

 

[MertzJay26]

How on earth did we end up with this piss poor of guard play? It’s hideous.

White’s teams will always find ways to let you down.

 

[LeeForThree]

Down 4, 1 min left. Why Kowacie wasn't in the game i don't know. Fleming and Jones miss 3-5 open 3pters in the last 2 min

 

[MertzJay26]

Team takes personality of its coach. Absolutely no “it” factor or anybody who wants to step up outside of Castleton.

 

[Born2beagator]

Ho hum. Not heartbroken at the close loss at all. This was a typical MW loss. Nothing will change as long as he is here.

 

[MertzJay26]

That’s one of the ugliest losses I’ve ever seen.

It’s past time to do what’s necessary.

 

[MertzJay26]

Recap:

- LSU missing starting PG
- LSU best player fouled out after 7 minutes
- Refs gifted us 10+ more FTs
- Refs gifted us 10+ more fouls

AND WE STILL LOST.

The fact Myreon Jones is getting starter minutes is laughable. Our guard play is the worst we’ve ever had here at UF. I’m disgusted.

Fitting that my least favorite player on our basketball team also has the last name of Jones.

2. We won't shoot that poorly from the FT line in the second half unless our poor percentage FT guys keep getting fouled.

...you jinxed us. (J/k...this team's garbage and it's not your fault)

FTs made the difference tonight. If we were 70% at the line, we win, simple-as. **especially** given that we'd do dumb things like miss 2 of 3 FTs after getting fouled and closing to within a few. Or getting fouled in a four-point game and msisithe first. Takes the fans down a notch when they're just itching to get involved.

We just need to fire Mike White...nothing is improving on this team.

Again, sit Jones.

Idk what is up with this dude's jump shot but damn...If it's broke, you gotta fix it. There's so much arch on it. It looks so funky coming off his hand. If he hits one it looks interesting because of the rainbow arch. Usually I would say a decent arch is part of a good jump shot. Jones' is out of control. I don't expect coaching to fix any problems though.
At a certain point they gotta get rid of Mike White. This **** is embarrassing.

That’s how his shot always has been. It’s just not falling as much as it did at Penn St, because like most guys under White, they regress.

 

[GatorBart]

I forgot about this game and just remembered.
22% from the 3 (7-31). Yep, we took 31 3s.
50% from the FT line (11-22).
We still suck.

 

[Spurdog98]

What ashame...we lost.

 

[MertzJay26]

I never choose not to watch (cuz I’m a sucker), but I think this is the tipping point. There is zero enjoyment watching this team which is also why the arena is half full for a top 15 team coming in.

Stricklin has really outdone himself by keeping White for his 7th(!) year.
