Gator Basketball ***Official Basketball Game Thread: Gators vs #6 Kentucky***

Welp. Can’t be mad when you miss 50% of your FTs

This is an ongoing problem for some reason.

Put those mofos in the gym and make EVERYONE shoot 1000 FTs for an entire day.

It's simply inexcusable for a high-quality basketball program to be shooting this bad at the line. It's cost us multiple games this season, this looking likely to be one of them

 

[MertzJay26]

We choked, plain and simple

No excuse to lose that game. Practice needs to be free throws and only free throws.

 

[RivalFlorida]

Why didn't they guard Sheppard?

 

[gatorev12]

Turnovers and FTs made the difference in the game.

Incredibly poor focus down the stretch.

It's frustrating because we could have and should have won this game; but overall, this is a good basketball team and we'll win more than the last few years.

This ended up being a bad loss and set the tone. We will be struggling to get to 500 in league.

Seriously **** Kugel. Total **** when it matters

 

[MertzJay26]

That’s frustrating as it gets

Two of our better players in Samuel and Richard absolutely no-showed. Can’t have that.

I think we should just accept that we won’t get nice things as long as Stricklin is running the show

UKs size and athleticism will do that every game. Richard is too slow to dribble against them and has to rely on catch and shoot where he is like a Kugel. Hot or Kasey Hill level crap from 3. Samuel just isn't big enough to score against UK

Samuel should be able to utilize his quickness and strength against their bigs. Richard had plenty of open opportunities, he just bricked em. Having 2/5 starters play like crap against a top 10 team will get you beat.

You can’t afford to do an “orange out,” pack the stadium in an effort to revitalize our fallen program, and come out of there with an L in a VERY winnable game.

 

[MertzJay26]

We used to be able to at least hold football over Kentucky. Don’t even have that anymore

 

[MertzJay26]

This gotta change

 

[MJMGator]

This gotta change

It will. 1-19 will be the next step.

 

[MertzJay26]

Poor Todd has the force of Scott Stricklin against him. Tough to overcome.

You know that stupid queer Scottie is all smiles . Mondee is probably sippin on a Mai tai at ballyhoos now happier than a pig in slop . Good for nothing bastard makes me sick .

 

[FireFoley]

Very entertaining game between 2 good teams. Too much standing around on offense by UF late in the game, Cal proved again why UK will never win the trophy again unless he has far far superior talent. 3 consecutive offensive possessions by UF in the final minute in which his team fouled and never should have come close to committing a foul. All three possessions UF did the correct thing and UK defensed each one of them incorrectly.

 

[MertzJay26]

Haven’t fact checked this but seems right

 

[Back Alley Gator]

Our free throws have been chit all season. Same as Kugel. Yet nothing has been done to fix either problem. Makes you think it's not fixable or the Golden girl doesn't know how.
