Gator Basketball UF loses to Butler 61-54 to drop to 3-3

[lizardbreath]

Was unable to watch due to travel, but browsed the thread. And this post by Lee, the bball afficianado is disturbing to read as it appears that Mike's offensive coaching prowess is as strong as ever No player movement, no ball movement, no motion, no off the ball action and 4 guys standing around watching the guy who has the ball. I discern this from reading the thread and then summarized by Lee. I am sad to read this and am sorry that some things have not changed.

I watched for the 7 or 8 minutes it took confirm all of the above. The offensive prowess that seemed to be on display at the beginning of last season has vanished without a trace. At this point in time, this team is just awful - particularly on offense, and it only seems to be getting worse. I suspect the near total absence of anything resembling actual post play is the primary underlying defect. However, the perimeter play ain't that great either, so who the F knows? It's just bad BB, no matter how you slice it. White needs to get a clue and fast.

so it sounds like MW sucks. was pretty clear to me last year this was the case. watching the team was painful. offense consists of dribbling the air out of the ball, then jacking a contested shot from deep. he'll get one more season regardless of this year, but that'll be it. im honestly glad i cant watch the games this year, because if i could i would, and it would just be painful.


everyone thank fooley for another diamond in the rough dollar store bargain bin special.

There might be talk of how much this team misses Chiozza, but this is an entire team that's failing.
What skills did White present to recruit so well for 2019?
This team has plenty of experienced guys, especially high "scorers" Allen & Hudson ?? No way should this team start the season offering no awareness of how to play the game.??
Is White concentrating on developing a BBQ sauce?

Spot on. SSDD with White’s teams. He hasn’t learned a damn thing nor show he can actually coach.

Florida takes on Stanford tonight at 7 PM on ESPN2

Gators are 0-3 so far against the spread, wth!! Cmon man!!

 

[rogdochar]

Once I read Zaga beat #1 Duke, I watched the entire game on replay. The difference in the skills & teamwork compared to us is shameful.

Youre comparing duke to uf? Cmon. There was a serious debate last week that duke could beat the cleveland cavaliers.

And anyone with half a brain knew it wasn't a discussion...they would lose by 30 lol

You guys are morons. Mike White is considered one of the best young coaches out there. He’s attracting top ten talent to come to Gainesville to play in half empty O-dome. We’re so lucky to have him. I am grateful he’s our coach. All you haters will be eating over cooked Crow by the end of next season. Book it.

This is a must win for us

Wisconsin blew out Oklahoma this afternoon. Gak, C. Johnson & Stokes are all unavailable this weekend due to ongoing injury issues. Leaves the frontcourt very thin. Gators Dealing With All Too Familiar Frontcourt Issues - Florida Gators

Locke started for Hudson

Florida is up 2-0 at the under 4 timeout lmao

I was holding the Duke/Zaga up as an example of how the game will be played by top teams. The point of every program is to be a competitive top program. That's what fan-bases root for.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 9-4 at the under 12 timeout. Ballard has 5 pts. Hudson hasn't played and Allen is missing so far

 

[maheo30]

Allen is missing so far

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 19-7 at the under 8 timeout. Ballard has 8, including 2 3pters

 

[AugustaGator]

From my perspective we are doing well, but I'm not an expert in basketball. Just enjoy watching it.

 

[maheo30]

The defense is igniting our offense. Ballard is proving he deserves more minutes. He needs to stop loafing on d though.
