Same. This team can beat anyone and lose to anyone. Zero consistencyI could see this team losing to a doormat like Vandy and then going into Rupp
and winning. We looked like a top 20 team in the first half, and a middle school
team in the second . On top of that it seems like at least one player on every team
we play has a career high against us.
Steve Russell just said the gators made EIGHT baskets in 2nd half! Wtf!
No one is NBA talent . They are all weak sauce
And then he proceeded to take ten minutes talking about all the reasons why we should blame the players not the coach.
Nothing like listening to one UF employee cover for another one.
I don't get this point. We beat one decent team, Auburn. We lost to all the other teams with a pulse that we played so far. This team is consistently bad. Where is the evidence that we are erratic and can beat anyone on any given night?Same. This team can beat anyone and lose to anyone. Zero consistency

Dude is legit though.At this point I'd take the Polar Bear over this team, and it's 100% disheartening.
It is almost like these guys think the coach has nothing to do with improving kids shooting via coaching. The fact that all of our players become worse shooters the longer they are around White is telling. Compare that to Donovan, where players seemed to become better shooters every year with him. You could also hear him discuss shooting form, release point, balance, etc. when asked about the players. This is why the argument we keep hearing about the "open shots" just being missed still falls, at least in some substantial part, upon White.

This is just...explains a lot
This is my opinion as well. The players do not seem to want to play for White. They don’t appear to be “rallying” around their coach. It’s the only explanation for a talented defensive team not playing good defense. Offense takes skill....defense is largely hard work. We are not working hard on defense.
Lewis played 25 minutes against Baylor without a rebound and another 33 last night with 1. How do we explain that? 1 rebound in 58 minutes?
Offensively, while I hate the tempo and pace, I cannot argue that we generate an extraordinary amount of open looks that we miss. Lewis has shown flashes, especially early last night, but this incredible athlete has more air balls than dunks through 20 games. Mann has done little. Glover, the least talented of the 3, plays with the most motor.
There is clearly a disconnect somewhere and it appears to be with the coach/player chemistry.
I can only hope it’s not another Chris Walker Kasey Hill scenario.

next we get the fateful "the athletic director has full faith in the coach."

About the only player that I can say has definitely improved under White's tenure is KJ
