Suck it Mike White and UGAy

I hate to see it but Haugh is getting pushed around by their big man in the #1 jersey, and his confidence is off.
He's reduced to missing 3s and dishing the ball to others vs taking the ball in.

I would love to see a replay of Haugh's first drive and the block he sustained. It seemed to hurt his confidence. Was it hurt by a legitimate block or by a foul that wasn't called?

Is chin gonna break the florida rebound record?

No
Neil Walk has over a thousand and holds the Fl record, chin is sitting around 500 at Fl.
Walk had 491 in one season which is also a record

Walk averaged like 19 a game one year and scoring 27 pts game. If not for Kareem he his player of the year.
Now tonite, our guards played lights out. Reuben got all the rebounds. Lee looks like a real ball handler. If he just shot a little better from three he is an AA guard. Boogie just gets better all the time. Isiah came in and played real minutes. Like starting guard minutes. Refs let them foul us more than we were allowed to foul them.... Watching White's offense in that first half was like reliving the nightmare of his offense in Gville. I am so glad that face and expression is up in Athens now. He looks like a man that would hit a woman at times. Georgia played hard but we are 20pts better than them all day long. Reuben hits a few shots and we win by 30. Announcer said we have swagger and by GOD we do. They know they are good and are playing with great confidence........

About time for me to go to my "go to" from last year. I bet against us on fan duel every game the rest of the way and I lost erry one of them. Only cost me about 75.00 but it was worth it. Starting that against UK, hoping for a repeat of last year.

Good morning, Georgia’s entire team was only able to out rebound Chin 35-20 and Chin wasn’t on the court for the whole game.

What is the realistic expectations for this team in the tourney now that we are embracing our identity. If we can play our game of stout defense, rebounding dominance, and working inside/out we are very hard to beat. The question still remains about the guards. If teams are able to swarm the paint, can the guards carry this team in March? They couldn’t against Auburn and they did against UGA. The emergence of Brown and the consistent shooting of Klav can be huge if they keep it up.

The Arky game and final game at Rupp will tell us a lot, I think. We’re going to be favored in all of our remaining regular season games. Last night was a big deal, but I don’t think we can bet on that guard play every single game in March. Time will tell.

One of my favorite things about Golden is his second half adjustments. White was awful at this. Golden did a fantastic job of this in the tourney last year and that is key. UGA countered to start the second half last night and Golden countered right back. The game never got close. Pay this man before the NBA swipes him.

Keep playing that defense we'll repeat.

Typical Mike White. I can't remember what call he challenged but there's just 43 seconds left in the game while down by 17.

Condon has 4 or 5 turnovers all on his own tonight. I guess since he’s not allowed to take dumb 3s, he is going to make up for it with dumb passes.

I have said that Condo has not played well offensively all year, but I think something is going on mentally with him. He just seems lost on offense but could be he is really playing out of position. At least he has stopped jacking up 3's, but even around the basket he seems to have no feel and really missed some close in shots badly. And as you said he was attempting to make passes in this game that were not there, And he is not a threat on the offensive boards b/c he typically is not near the basket, which is not his fault, when a shot goes up.

With that said, any road win in conference is a good win. They are not easy to get.

Condo went 6-8 from the field last night and we’ve all been complaining about his shooting. It’s clear Golden has told him no more threes which is a huge improvement.

The issue is we had 14 turnovers last night and Condon had 7 of them. That will doom us in March against quality opponents. We really need to start getting complete games out of him. When he was shooting poorly he was still a menace on defense, rebounding, and was distributing well on offense. He seems to consistently improve in one area while regressing in another area. An example would be him having 7 turnovers last night after being a key part of breaking A&M’s press the previous game. It’s weird how he’s been all over the place.

I think there’s a strong argument that he should come back next year for his senior year. With NIL it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he will. He really needs to develop his game. This season has honestly hurt his draft stock immensely.
