Yeah @Tenn is a LOSS just like tonight cause Tenn has been flailing lately and NEED a win and its on the road and REVENGE for what we did to Tenn earlier in the year. NO CHANCE we win that one at all. So we will be 13-8 but probably 13-9 after the SECT and OUT of the NCAAT. Thanks MW!

White is what he is: an average coach. He’ll win games he’s not supposed to, and lose games he’s not supposed to. Is what it is, and he isn’t going anywhere.

UF motto under Strickland is being “good” is good enough.

It's a foul in every sport; the refs never call it.

The AD needs to get off his azz and tell the league to start enforcing it...and if they don't, send a bench player to level the next person who does. The league will wise up. The Ole Miss player gets a flag for fake pissing to taunt the Miss State Bulldogs...how is doing the Chomp different?
Well, he didn't throw a shoe.

Stricklin would never be so committed as to jeopardize his reputation by complaining about anything

I don't.

Like I've said ad nauseum since Strychnine was hired....STARKVILLE MEDIOCRITY. This is UF, not Cowbell. Someone please inform the smiling dunce.

We lost because of the turnovers, plain and simple. Despite playing a pretty awful game we were tied with 15 seconds to go and had a chance to force OT. Mann continues to impress on the offensive side. He had a little lapse and let the guy get past him on Mizzou's winning circus shot, but it still took an almost impossible shot to get it past the blocks of Durj and Cas. Overall Man keeps getting better and more confident which could carry us for a couple wins or more in the Tourney if his teammates show up.

This loss isn't the end of the world despite what Jboss says. Remeber, he only has two settings, insufferable pumper and chicken little lol. If you look at the SEC standings right now, other than Arkansas, no team has more than a 2 game win streak. I guess you can call it parity. Sure, this loss sucked, but the fact that we can play this bad against a pretty solid club and still be right there in the end gives me a little hope. We punked UT once and get a chance to do it again on Saturday.

We lost this game by shots not taken because TOs sent the ball the other way for another Missouri scoring opportunity. We were atrocious at taking care of the ball. Hell, the team shot 58% on the shots we did take ... but 0% on those we turned over to Missouri. This team must be judged on how together they played, using the basketball IQ their coaching trained into the team-unit. Profiting from the continuous awareness of where their actions are taking them. BBall-IQ & game awareness are what make a winning team, game by game. That is what the coach puts into his program that sustains this team and a long line of successful teams, successful seasons. It is what lights a fire in players & recruits. When this season have you seen a "fired-up" Gator team take the court by storm? It should be in play at the start of every game. Their coaching doesn't inspire them.??

Missouri is not a team that should have beaten us. Excessive TOs show a lack of awareness and poor BBall IQ. That's from poor coaching all season long.

Between @Jay26 @Jbossgator8 @stephenPE @Marine1 you all soak up the mediocrity. White is your guy. Have at it.

Occasionally they acknowledge the dysfunction and the overall decline of the program until CMW’s guys win a game they weren’t supposed to and then they jump right back on the bandwagon and tell all of us how cynical and unrealistic we all are.
As if to suggest that losing 3-4 home games each year is acceptable. This attitude permeates the athletics office already so I need to accept it I guess.

I guess part of me is still somewhat surprised there are Gator fans actually tuning in and watching these games. Mike White is the Muschamp of basketball, he's ruined the program.

Ya don’t lump me into that group. I’ve made my position on White pretty clear that I think he’s an average coach who wins the occasional big game (feel free to look back through the game threads).

Do I hope he turns a corner and becomes a better coach? Of course. Do I celebrate when we win the big games? Of course.

Not sure what’s wrong with that position, but whatevs
