Florida wins 77 to 63. Really good offense tonight. Would have been even better with Robinson playing the second half. Hope he gets well soon. Nice open to conference play.

Not pretty, but any win over UGAy is a thing of beauty.

Allen is turning into a boba fide stud ala Beal. We have got to cut hill and walkers time on the court (I know I've said this 1000 times but it's true), they are huge liabilities.
I'd rather play BFR over hill and Walker. Call me crazy but I still believe BFR is going to be a good player for us soon. Mark this down.

Still cant believe how bad Hill's shooting is - its about time to just pull the plug on him after the last 2 seasons. If we just had a decent guard this would be a pretty good team. Maybe 11-7 is in reach in the SEC as I think that would get us in the tourney.

I think Allen and Chiozza are pretty good personally. We have a lot of talent, just need to start clicking.

Allen looks to really be getting better. Chiozza is still up and down a bunch imo. We are really lacking there in many games.

Can't say I disagree. Need some guys to step up and I think it'll happen

Good to get a win over UGA. The things to like about this bunch of Gators is that they play hard on D and seem to balance or exceed our own turnovers with takeaways and forced poor shots deep into the O possessions by the opponents. Our press, which was not as hard as we had become accustomed to seeing under Billy with the sideline traps, was effective in knocking about 8 seconds on the average off of the shot clock before UGA could begin their offensive set. Egbunu, while not scoring as well as he did in the pre-conference games, was pretty big on the boards and we obviously defended fairly well despite some pretty dumb fouls.
Agree that DFS needs to be bigger on the offensive end from the get go, but I appreciate his scores late when we needed them to help salt this one away. Hill is going to continue to get his minutes as long as he keeps up the takeaways and can slash. He's no threat to go pro anytime soon, but his play of late, excluding FTs, has been some better.
Overall, we are not a great offensive bunch, though I think we are seeing how good Allen is and will become. We shoot poorly from the perimeter (and the FT line), but we've got to take the open perimeter shots (by the right guys) to keep the D honest. We'll get better under White's tutelage, as he is a good defensive coach and will likely be regarded as such offensively when our youngsters better understand their roles and I think they are beginning to. Billy is gone and I think it behooves us to understand the make up of the squad White is working with and the strides made. Not real pretty or what we have come to expect yet, but they're getting there.

I like our energy, the length and speed of our bigs, and the number of people we're playing. I think if we can keep that up, we can wear most people down on a consistent basis. As Cover2 noted, the press is eating up a good chuck of the other team's offensive clock.
I do not understand how Hill can be such a poor FT shooter. He made some nice drives in the GA game, but wow for a guard he leaves a lot of points at the line. Allen is playing very well for a true freshman, and it's not just his shooting. Looks like the real deal.
And I also don't understand why we seemingly do not make a consistent effort to pass the ball inside to the bigs.
That said, while I am not really a knowledgeable BB fan, in this last game the half-court offense seemed to be executing with a plan. We got burnt a few times by having 4 guys within 2 yards of the the backboard on offensive rebounds where the ball bounced long, but OTOH we got a ton of offensive rebounds, and those are almost as valuable as turnovers.
We're back to being a basketball school. At least until NSD. :)

Funny when we shot better
I almost feel sorry for Walker. He doesn't really do anything very well except play defense with effort. He probably should have transferred a couple years ago when his brother was bitchin about Devon not getting enough minutes. Then came his injury. I appreciate his hard work, especially coming off a tough injury but he's just not good enough to deserve the PT he's getting considering the depth of this team.
Hill's speed is under-appreciated and actually helps the team when Allen is rolling because when they have to focus so much on Allen it allows Hill to get to the hoop easier. If he can just get his FT shooting up he will be an asset as we go forward.
