***NCAA Tournament*** Florida vs South Carolina

[LeeForThree]

We choked. Terrible coaching and play the last half

Yep, where is jboss...needs to say White got OWNED AND DESTROYED LOL

That's what, four regional final losses since 2010? This hurts.

Getting to the Elite 8 and then not getting into the final four is like kissing your sister. Totally unsatisfying. Unless you're using your tongue, in which case a regional final loss is deviant and transgressive.

Then why not call an is for Allen...he finally touched it with a min left and got an and 1...can't go 10 min with the PG dribbling for 29 sec and throwing up a bs shot

How are we going to beat them trading 22-footers for layups? That was the fundamental problem we faced in this game. They're physically dominant.

 

[NavetG8r]

Can't say I was especially impressed with how the zebras called this game, but you gotta give SC credit. They played amazing defense. Not sure why we were trying to drive the basket in the final minute, down by 6 points. Seems to me our % ain't good on the inside against their zone. I felt we should've been trying for 3s instead, but I'm no Bball xpert. Was a good run to the Elite Eight. I don't think many of us expected them to go much beyond the first or 2nd round without Eggy, so they over-achieved really. It's still great to be a Florida Gator!

That's weak, dude. Step off the ledge. We had no business making the Elite Eight. Appreciate what we did.

OWNED and DESTROYED, live by the 3 die by the 3, the 3 hides a lot of weaknesses, coaches and players,
but it was a fun tournament

We had those shots because White wont call a play or design a play to screen off the ball to get good players open. It's the same crap offense UK ran...but Cal has even gone away from it and gone to more screening instead of 100% dribble drive

Another good ole fashion Gator choke job. Reminded me of the Louisville game a few years back. Elite 8 as well if I remember correctly. We were killing it from 3 in the first half of that one too, but went ice cold in the 2nd just like this game. Still made it further than I ever thought we would, perhaps we caught some breaks not having to play Villanova or duke as well. We would have gotten destroyed on the inside by Gonzaga anyways. South Carolina will be able to challenge them more than us. Still think the Zags take 'em though. Still a greater than expected season and that's hard to complain about.

 

[SC Gator]

We lost this game for one reason and one reason only: the gamecocks played incredible defense. Sometimes you just got a hand it to them. We have a bunch of open looks for three-pointers they just want falling.

We could not drive because their guards were better than ours. I have no clue if White is the best coach around but you can't judge him on going to the elite eight and being disappointed in a team nobody thought we get to the elite eight especially after we lost our big man

We just did not have enough today. Barry very poor from three even when open. Almost no inside offense, still we should be very happy to make the elite eight with our lacks on offense.

I saw it different. We were able to get guard penetration, but instead of dishing off to someone in the paint or off on the flank, our guy would put up a prayer.

We have some issues and need some polish, but we're headed in the right direction.

 

[CGgater]

Not a lot of ball movement in the second half, just a bunch of standing and dribbling until the desperation heave. No real threat to draw a foul when silva and Thornton were in foul trouble. I hope this turns out to be an "a-ha" moment and major turning point for White.

It's a joke lol

 

[itsgr82bag8r]

Refs ain't making us go 0-12 from 3

No, but they damn sure are getting SC to the line every possession. It adds up.

Exactly. Gonzaga is gonna have its hands full.

 

[itsgr82bag8r]

How was that not a travel?

It was only 4.5 steps. They get 5 steps today.

 

[Wuerffel4Pres]

D-Rob was rarely seen.

Players weren't run through Allen enough.

Barry was non-existent.

Missed every three we took the second half.

Couldn't get a defensive rebound to save our life.

And yes, the refs sucked a big fat hairy one.

The farther you go in the tourney, the harder it is when you lose. So close to the Final Four...

I'm inconsolable right now.

 

[MatthewM.]

Inconsolable?

Get a grip dude.

 

[T REX]

They played 5 feet from the rim and we played 20. You're not going to win many like that.

Our defense was not there today. They owned us inside.

It was a great great season. Tough loss.
