Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida at Auburn

[LeeForThree]

Florida at Auburn tonight now on ESPN

Auburn is without Cooper their best player and one of the best innthe SEC

 

[LeeForThree]

Timeout 1 min in again. Bad team without their best player....White has this lol

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 9-3 at the under 16 timeout. Mann with a 3pter, layup and a runner. Lewis with a layup

Auburn stymied without Cooper, their best. Still, Gators need to work on playing rationally balanced inside & out.

[MertzJay26]

Duruji and Locke look awful again, other than that can’t complain.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 18-6 at the under 12 timeout. Mann has 11 pts and leading us pretty much everywhere so far this game

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Lucky break for us tonight
Please tell me we can pull this one out.

How big a lead do we need to prevent the typical Coach White late game collapse?

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 21-8 at the under 8 timeout. Mann hit another 3pter. Now has 14 pts. Need the rest of the offense to match him this game

 

[rogdochar]

We've got to do the work on smart-driving, good ball control (low TOs), decent assists, teamwork all around. It's time to get serious for an entire game. Learn it now.

Lewis drains a 3...FL shooting 50% from behind the arc: 4 of 8; and 48% overall.

FL up 30-13

 

[rogdochar]

Auburn's star Cooper is out, while UF's Tre Mann is being our Cooper.

 

[LeeForThree]

Mann out with 2 fouls. Someone has to step up here to end the half for us

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 32-18 at the under 4 timeout. Offense has to come from somewhere in the last 4 min, who is it going to be

Lewis just ripped through Auburn's defense on 2 consecutive possessions...missed a +1, but he's with 11 pts now...

 

[gatorev12]

Locke with a 3, then Lewis nails another.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 44-22 at the half. Lewis scored 14 pts. Hit 2 2pterd and a layup after Mann went out with 2 fouls. One of his best games in a long time so far. Need to keep this up the whole game

 

[gatorev12]

Impressive first half from Florida--we were hot shooting from beyond the arc (allowing us to run up a big score); but have been playing pretty good defense too.

Multiple contributors on offense with Mann and Lewis leading the charge thus far; but when we've wanted to go inside, we've been largely able to score there too outside of a few Auburn blocks. Castleton has been quiet, but that's the only downside

 

[rogdochar]

Lewis & Mann are playing well = as they should together next year.
