No football money for a buyout for a nonrevenue sport.
It has to wait.

He wasn't happy with the D at all. He changed after that Gonzaga game and giving up like 80 points to a few scrubs. It was fun watching the team score 110 a game.Something happened last year after the PK80 Tourney. We were lighting it up before that, #1 in the country in points, and the it all broke. I think White is in the head of the players and himself. Something hasn’t been right sense.
That Gonzaga game was tied 78-78 at the end of regulation before going to 2OT and winning. We then lost to Duke 87-84.He wasn't happy with the D at all. He changed after that Gonzaga game and giving up like 80 points to a few scrubs. It was fun watching the team score 110 a game.
Not exactly. Jay implied that recruiting for this year may have been a fluke and I responded with we have top kids in the next class that are interested too. I haven't made one excuse .Little t, you are ate up with excuses and could be's.
Who are your inside scorers? I’m not seeing any. As in literally zero. Hayes gets a few putback’s and layup feeds from Nembhard. You write off hundreds of literally the same hypothetical posts, yet you never list who our inside scorers are. Who are they?
So are you still guarding UK at the three point line? Not exactly. They killled us inside.
That's right, it was the Duke game where we were up 10 with like 5-6 minutes left.That Gonzaga game was tied 78-78 at the end of regulation before going to 2OT and winning. We then lost to Duke 87-84.
We came home and lost back to back games against FSU and Loyola Chicago.
Patric Young, Scottie Wilbekin, Casey Prather, Will Yeguette would like a word with you please.And tell me how our mighty Gators are supposed to beat this almost NBA team? We had a great game going until their incredibly superior talent kicked in.
How many more losses would we have if Hayes got more attempts? If other bigs got inside for "inside-game-playing attempts, how many more losses.. I believe our opponents beat us with inside scoring rather than by 3s - while we were shooting at 3s. Inside shots score 65% of attempts, 3s score less than 40% of those attempts.
I suggest that the essence of college basketball coaching is successfully developing an inside game to score from the highest % area to complement outside shots of lower %.
Hayes' shooting percentage is very good. However, that doesn't take into account how many times he fumbles the ball, turns it over or throws it away without taking a shot. And then there's his poor free throw shooting when he gets fouled taking a shot. Yesterday Florida had an 11 point lead and the momentum with just over 14 minutes left in the game. Hayes misses 2 free throws that would have put us up by 13, but after those missed FT's KY went on a roll and never looked back. I do agree that there should be more set plays to work the ball inside. But Hayes is not a reliable go-to guy in the paint. That's never been his game.How many more losses would we have if Hayes got more attempts? If other bigs got inside for "inside-game-playing attempts, how many more losses..

No one is asked to do more on this basketball team than Hayes. He has to play out of position and has no other bigs to complement him, he is on an island. I'm sure he does fumble a few passes, bricks a few more shots and FT shooting is horrendous. He's pretty lathered up by game's end and needs the whirlpool. Our team is not well balanced at all positions (most notably CENTER) and Hayes suffers for it and unjustifiably bears the brunt of the criticism.Hayes' shooting percentage is very good.

I've played thousands of games of street pick-up basketball, often with complete strangers. Watching this team reminds me of that: guys that have never played together out there trying to win. No one moves, and if they do it seems they have no idea where to go. Each player has something they want to do and they are going to do it regardless of the defense. They seem to have no idea the strengths and weaknesses of their fellow teammates. In other words, it's like they have never practiced before and certainly have never heard of running a play to get someone an open look. In fact, I can't recall a player getting a single open look the entire season. Every game is like they just like they all just met for the first time before tipoff.I have no problem with shooting a lot of threes.....if they’re good looks. Shooting a bunch of contested threes due to lack of movement on offense and White’s “stall ball” is what I take issue with.
