Gator Basketball Gators crushed by Michigan, bow out of tournament with a whimper

[sminings]

Our offensive approach is maddening.

This must be your first time watching this team.

Florida is down 32-28 at the half. We are 6-12 for 3pters and Michigan is 4-12 for 3pters. The game has come down to Michigan getting dunks and layups and we are forcing tough shots so far. Last 3 min we got nothing easy and they went up 4

No one is driving...its all around the perimeter resulting innards long shot clock and a 1 on 1 hope to score move

Nobody is driving because there is a very tall person waiting on them. We will need more effort and better decision making to win this game, if we are competitive throughout that will be fine with me.

 

[SC Gator]

We need height and length.

You've got quick and agile players who can play ballhawking defense, yet you fall back on straight up defense and an excruciatingly slow pace, giving up transition points in the process. It makes no sense to me.

Rip a page from UF 2000, Coach White. Get after it.

A good idea would be not having Hayes playing at the top of the arch so much. Given up several dunks like that

Our offensive approach is maddening.

Yeah, deliberate is one thing but when you have an advantage take it no matter how much time is on the shot clock.

Not the first game I've watched, but I haven't followed the team live regularly. So, yes, I am reacting with some surprise.

I counted three, maybe four possessions where our dribblers got locked up by UM and threw up a prayer. It's up to Coach White to create plays that give his players a chance to score. He's done a shyt job so far.

Only pts the paint we have are from Hayes and Basset had a tip in. We are down like 20-8 in the paint

Someone needs to explain to Hayes that if he has the option to either dunk or lay it up, dunk the damn thing. He’s given up at least 10 points in the last two games because he keeps choosing the “touch” shot over the physical move.

This game is about to blow wide open.

White just crapped himself. Michigan headed for a blowout at this pace

Ok. Based on my personal observations of this team expect a 2nd half blowout

See post #91.

We are a poorly coached team.

 

[lagator]

Well, sh;t. Not exactly the start to the second half I was hoping for.

 

[SC Gator]

White telling Allen to **** the bed was a bad move.

 

[Politigator]

How many steps do you get these days? That's two times Michigan has taken 3 or 4 steps on the way to the basket.

 

[sminings]

The talent gap is very apparent. Michigan has a coaching and talent advantage

For the love of God, do you think you're going to overcome this deficit playing it slow and safe? You have ZERO scorers.
