***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida vs Gardner-Webb

[LeeForThree]

Very stoked (although we're un-Stoked) on this year's BBall team. However Chiozza wasn't a star last year (regardless his flying buzzer shot). He got stuffed a lot on foolish drives toward the basket.Has he improved so much and do we have a competent sub for PG - not K.Allen 'cause that drops his scoring by 10 ppg.??
Go Gators - I'm looking for rebounds, blocked shots, and multiple Gators draining 3pt shots in high %. It should be fun for our guys and us spectators. = White's New Era.

We are all good with PG in Allen's hands. Okauru showed some promise in the last exhibition game as well

Chiozza coming off bench tonigh


3 Things to watch:

Hudson's defense
Chiozza's health
Team rebounding

Good list, I would add:

How does Stone look, ie is he completely over his illness problem last year.
Is Bassett as good as he looked in the exhibition.
Is Gak good to go on that knee

I hope everybody's faith in Chiozza pans out. Maybe he can be a high-plus in assists, but defenders can drop back on Chiozza to defend sort-of inside then jump up & out on Chiozza's shot and still tip it. IDK but we'll see tonight. How accurate is Chiozza on 3s?

I share some of your worries about Chiozza. Some of my hope is that without Hill around we will see less Hill like bad plays out of Chiozza.

Didn't Chiozza hurt his hand? So, maybe tonight it won't be fair to expect his best? My hope is that Gak shows really well tonight and 3-Gor.

Alley oop to Allen on the opening possession. Final 4 here we come!

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 8-6 at the under 16 timeout. Really is an substitutions right now. Now flow allowed from White. At least 2 subs a min right now lol

Florida up 18-14 at the under 12 timeout. Getting into more of a groove and starting to make shots. Stone played 3 min and got 2 fouls. Johnson hasn't played at all yet. Not very good reb and defense with 4 guards

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida up 28-19 at the under 8 timeout. Johnson finally comes in and gets a block and mid range jumper

 

[GBHOR]

Nice ball movement on the break

 

[G8trwood]

Now that was truley Koul!

 

[GBHOR]

Wow

 

[-THE DUDE-]

Damn this is going to be a fun team to watch.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida up 42-26 at the under 4 timeout. 3Gor went off from the arc. Problem seems to be interior defense all game so far. 3Gor not a great PF and Stone got in foul trouble

 

[Jack o' Diamonds]

Basketball may score more this game than football scored all year.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 55-32 at the half. 3Gor has 23 pts. Florida is 10-22 for 3pters at the half. Great offensively not so reb and on D. Really hurt by the small lineup for us and them

 

[G8trwood]

Lamenting the days when football would be up 20+ at half
