Over 20 games into the season and both of these teams are just bad. Sure there is some individual talent out there but as teams, they are both not good. Outside of a couple of good possessions against the A@M zone, we are totally disjointed offensively. If not for being left wide open on a number of 3's and hitting them we would be no where. Not enough Blackshear in the low post when he was in the game. As far as A@M goes, and I like Williams as a coach, but how dumb can you be to ever leave Locke? Locke is a one dimensional stand still shooter. Why would you ever leave him? I would stay attached to him at all times and he becomes taken out of the game basically. But hey if they want to treat him like everyone else, then even Mike is not dumb enough not to be able to take advantage of that.

Watching this team "play" is the athletic equivalent of dental surgery without gas or novacaine.

Florida is up 51-41 at the under 12 timeout. Some.missed shots. Defense has held A&M without a FG for 6 min, but we only extended the lead by 2

Edit: Apparently now it's the under 12 timeout, Florida is up 53-43

Just got a good look at the crowd
There can’t be more than 1000 people there

I would laugh but that could be our crowd in a few years

Ball movement has been phenomenal and defense has been legit.

Turnovers remain an issue although second half has been much better. Hope we can build on this (said this too many times this year)

Great ball movment since about the 10 min mark of the first half

Also, Mann's shot has been inconsistent, but his defense has been night and day compared to earlier in the year. Looks focused and guarding well

Payne fouled out one of their best. New weapon.

I haven't watched all the games, but we definitely seemed to have more ball movement tonight than I'm used to seeing.

White must have loved Gators' style this game - the inside game was sacrificed to shoot more from outside. It worked tonight because our shooters were sharp. In future games that will let us down and we'll have not insisted on feeding it inside, then the other team will go inside to take 60% likely shots and White's boys will be clanging it.
