We're playing faster but if there was ever a game we needed to slow down this was it. Extending your defense and switching on screens on a big athletic team with 4 slashers on the floor is retarded. I just don't understand the logic in some of the schcit we do.
I don't know about slowing it down offensively for us, we've played fast and loose and it's served us well to date. Maybe in the first half while it was close we could have tried but in the second half we were falling behind and needed to catch up. Additionally, without Nembhard, I'm not sure we have someone that can-will slow the pace at guard. Your point on defensive switching is spot on. They absolutely killed us by getting matchups to exploit. That, and beating the crap out of us on rebounds....and hitting soooooo many 3s (contested or not).
Would love to have Nate Oats as our coach.
According to those Bama announcers, he is a stats GOD and has the players bought in. From what I saw on the court, I'd LOVE to have him. Watching Bama was the fast'n'fun that Florida had done in recent games, they just did it so much better and effortlessly. They out hustled us, but they also outplayed us up and down the court.
