Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida vs Oklahoma St

[Double Gator Dad]

OKState is 10-10. Which tournament were you referring them likely to make?

10-10 and they are on probation and ineligible for postseason play.

But other than that they are a tournament team, I guess if that’s what you need to tell yourself.

Speaking of which, if you hadn’t noticed, Florida used to be paired up with one of the 2-3 best teams in the Big 12 when this tournament first started. Now we are lucky that we BARELY made the field of 10 teams.
Nothing like the slow and methodical destruction of the program Billy built.

I was just going off the fact the Big 12 is down this year and other than Kansas, Ok St should finish in the top half of the league. Lunardi and the talking heads said it's a Quad 2 win for us, putting us back in the tourney (for now)

Here's the issue. Admin will say, well he didn't have Castleton so let's give him 1 more chance. Rinse and Repeat.....

Well we play @Mizzou next, they are 8-12 and are not a good team but we never play well on the road. In fact the last time we played @Mizzou a couple of years ago, we were favored and Mizzou DESTROYED us 91-75 and it wasn't even that close. Mizzou hit 12/19 3s so they will look to BOMB away again on us as they are a HUNGRY team like Ole Miss was last week and they DESTROYED us too. Mizzou a down and out team but playing at home and are going to be REALLY AMPED up to beat us cause they already know they can easily.

If true, then they are the biggest idiots on the planet.

mw is responsible for his roster management (recruiting and transfer portal) and player development. He’s had SEVEN YEARS to recruit, retain and develop players and this year says all that needs to be said about his ability to compete at this level. The last 4-5 years weren’t much better…

Injuries, especially when he allows his players to be assaulted on the court without confronting the refs, is not an excuse. “Next man up” is prepared to do so, or you didn’t develop your team properly.

I completely agree, but admin will continue to look for some excuse to keep him around other than he runs a clean program.

Florida deserves a basketball coach that doesn't need excuses made for him.
Supporters must demand a coach that's functional. So many other SEC teams are growing better each season. Others are on the move upward.
Players come to those schools and there they get better each season. At UF, thanks to CEO White, players stagnate at best, backslide mostly.
There exist no coach-sense of identifying the most effective players, then working, practicing, developing an offensive scheme around those players --
-- called a TEAM.
And what kind of defensive guru has 45% of his opponents outscoring UF.? White has to be replaced, asap. Resurrect Florida's basketball program. White has guided it into oblivion.

I'm guessing that missing the big dance is lost revenue. They might want to do some math...

He runs a program clean out of town.
