Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida @ Georgia

[Double Gator Dad]

Yeah, I’m sure flem is disappointed that his family isn’t wearing HIS team’s colors.

He played like a scorned lover today.

 

[Marine1]

52%-45%-80% shooting which is impressive for a poor shooting team. Aggressive defense and minimal turnovers (6).

Fleming played an awesome game. Appleby as well….actually everyone played well.

Enjoyed this game despite a disappointing season.

Games like today are frustrating because you wonder why they don’t play at least close to this well all the time.
I know that the weak opponent has something to do with it but I think we could win 20+ games each year with a little consistency

It’s hard to believe how the UAA has lowered their expectations for the program.

Mike White has taught them demeaning of life.

We shot a pretty good percentage today but from the look of the shots, it was pretty much all shots that we have taken all year that haven't fallen in other games. Just have to make shots?? Made them today. A lot of in rhythm shots, case in point, Jones hit 4 shots today, 3 of them 3s, the SAME EXACT shots he took vs Ark he missed all 4 so it can be as simple as just hitting shots.

 

[rogdochar]

"Body position awareness when releasing the shot" = White's practices apparently do not drum this deep enough into our players' mindset. It needs to be like an autonomic reflex -- like breathing goes on in our background physiology while we do everything. The rare times we get a player "in the zone" they have locked on to this athletic process. Castleton is good; determination is his great asset. Still, for this whole team, how tuff is it to perform well against Georgia as they are at this point.?

We going to the tournament.

UF can do much better than barely make the tournament.??
Mike White will always produce an early-exit tournament team ... a disappointing showing year after year is not right for UF.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!

Is brando serious??? What an idiot. He acts like being a bubble team is a bad year for mw when it happens to be our best hope. Billy on the bubble was rare and not an expectation.

The third comment down says it all.
“This is why Tim Brando is not a respected member of the media.”

The other thing I like is the fact that Brando offers no facts or logic to support his position but instead chooses to call those that disagree “helmet heads”
When you can’t win a debate you always resort to name calling.

 

[TN G8tr]

Brando is an idiot. Never liked him, never will.

 

[ChiefGator]

This team is so inconsistent that I don't even watch the game after I know that we won. Very disappointing after a pretty good start. Beat FSU, Beat OSU, declined instead of improving. Time for a change which I usually don't think.

Fortunately female sports are starting.

 

[g8tr76]

Only 2 more wins for a 20-game regular season.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

2 and 3 in our last five games. Really getting em going alright. We'll be 3 and 4 to end the season if we're fortunate enough to beat Vandy. Dude's a Mike White pumping moron.

Being on the bubble is one of the most consistent storylines of the Mike White experience.
It means we're usually ranked at about the 40th-50th best team in the country. Apparently, this is perfectly fine performance, and he should expect another raise/extension soon.

It is truly amazing how many in the media think like this. That, gator fans should be ecstatic with what Whitey is doing.

 

[rogdochar]

What is White..? 1-19 vs top 25 teams.

We going to the tournament.

Brando's hatred for UF athletics, mainly hoops, goes all the way back to the 80's. The dumbass even claimed Frank Kornet was a much better player than Dwayne Schintzius.
This is the first time Brando has ever said anything positive about UF basketball.

And his stupid phrases such as "the iron kind" and "fly in the ointment."

 

[Jbossgator8]

We should be a program that gets 20-24 regular season wins every year and be in contention for a top 4 seed every year with a Sweet 16 caliber type team every year just like under Billy D. Idk what coach out there would qualify and would come here but that is surely not MW so he MUST go this season.
