Guess St Joes decided that our crappy shooting would continue forever and is willing to give looks from deep. Finally taking advantage. This is the team we thought we’d get this year.

How you liking the penetration? Looks were finding room and exploiting it. Shot selection looks great.

Is the play by play guy stoned? He’s crediting the wrong player half the time

I'm liking a lot of it so far. It does seem our players are still hesitant when they get in there, but really good to see

Bunch of fouls on the good guys so far. All earned. Biggest issue so far. Also, guys slowing down and movement not as good as it was.

Nembhard taking advantage of St Joes today. Great half for him.

I have watched a little and sure we have made some 3's so it can move the score quickly. I see this. St. Joe's is awful they are slow and not athletic. And they take awful shots.
As far as our offense, I don;t see a lot different. Besides making shots, I see the exact same sets. What I look for is not really are the shots going in, but what kind of shots are we taking and how are we getting them? I still would like to see much more player movement in the half court. And the one time I say Joe's go zone, we made one pass and Locke jacked a 30 footer which he missed. he could have gotten that same shot at the end of the shot clock. I would zone UF every possession and have said that for 4 years. Hopefully next game will be a more equally talented opponent.

I agree that a lot of the improvement we see is tied to us making a few shots and St Joes shooting like we have before today

We’ve had a lot of wide open shots in our losses, just didn’t make them. We are today. So while I agree we aren’t seeing massive differences, it supports the idea that coaching wasn’t the only issue - our guys have to make easy shots too. That said, standing around is less frequent today, which is an improvement. Haven’t seen 4 guys hanging out by the 3 pt line waiting for another guy who’s dribbling to create their own shot. Lots of smart penetration and dishing.
