Florida takes on Virginia tonight at 7 PM EST on ACCN. First true test of the season vs an usually great defensive team. Pullin out 2 more games, so big game tonight without him as well

Go Gators!!!

That happened on Monday too

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 21-20 at the under 12 timeout. Lots of back and forth. Kugel looks bad right now. Pressing and missing layups. Hanglogten and Samuel dominating down low

 

[FireFoley]

And AZ playing at Duke also. Was looking for something to do and now the remote is in overdrive.

 

[LeeForThree]

Lee, what is your impression of this team so far. I can wait to see how the PG does when he can finally play.
I am impressed how quickly they seem to mesh. Riley cant buy a basket.
If he did we are killing them

 

[FireFoley]

Decent number of white boys playing this game. Maybe there is still a chance for me, LOL

 

[GatorBart]

Will keeping us in it!

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida down 39-35 at the half. Kugel just terrible all game. Really missing Pullin. Richard with 3 3pters down the stretch to keep us close going into half

Very good pieces that fit together, but need that true PG type that is quick. Most games Clayton will be fine there but vs UVA gotta have a true PG most of the time. If Kugel gets his 10 or so layup pts we are still winning, so super encouraging, but sometimes lacking. Should be a super fun team all season either way

Gators win!

We’re still learning to defend. Giving up 39 in the first half to UVA isn’t good. They typically like to hold teams to 50ish.

They are like shooting 80% the last 15 minutes of the half, That white guard cannot miss a shot. We are not playing bad def. they are just on fire....................

 

[GatorBart]

Dunn and Buchanan killing us here!

 

[GatorBart]

Can we not defend the 3?

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 50-41 at the under 16 timeout. Kugel sitting on the bench. Unplayable bad right now along with Clayton. Just terrible passes that should never happen

 

[GatorBart]

Well, let’s see what this team is made of in the final 12 minutes.
