Gator Basketball UF loses to Butler 61-54 to drop to 3-3

[maheo30]

No movement off the ball. If a player isn’t dribbling, he’s just watching.

 

[MertzJay26]

No baskets in 5 min for us

Typical pass it around the arc with zero penetration (pause). We look stagnant again.

Announcer points out emphatically Florida has no off-ball movement to deserve a shot. That's what BBall is about?

5 of 17 in FG shooting. Stone swishes a 3.

Ballard

Feed the guy

Florida is up 24-21 at the under 4 timeout. Florida hits 3 straight 3s to go on a 9-0 run

 

[maheo30]

Allen fouls a 3point shot.

Ballard is instant offense.

I like how Nembhard is keeping this team calm.

the ebb and flow of the game - gotta hang tough Gators! that is what we are doing thus far

 

[KronoGator]

Shots aren't falling, defeat is inevitable.

 

[maheo30]

Gator D locking down McDermott. Nembhard with another 3. 3-3 on the night.

 

[MertzJay26]

Lockdown D!

I am actually watching the first half of this game and I have no idea what the outcome is going to be, but the one thing that is clear is that there is nothing to alter my thoughts of Mike White. The half court offense is a joke. If they take a shot early on in the shot clock, it usually is a poor shot and they could have gotten that same bad shot as the shot clock expires, so why take a horrendous shot early in the shot clock? There is almost no player movement anywhere, and what little there is, is of no purpose. I see no cutting that tries to drag the defense a certain way or might create a good angle for a pass. If this team makes 3's they will win games and people will think they are a good team. If they don;t make 3's it really highlights just how weak they are in the half court. There is no flow, there are no sets that show they are trying to get a good shot. Everything is dribble around or try to penetrate and the other 4 players watching.

Ballard and Nembhard 7-8. Rest of team 2-14.

 

[MertzJay26]

We’ve gotta get Hudson going somehow

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 32-27 at the half. Nembhard has 11 and Ballard has 8. Ballard might need stitches to his face. Hopefully he can come out and stay hot cause Allen has 0 on 2 shots and Hudson has 0 on 3 shots. So pathetic from upper classmen

 

[KronoGator]

Sort of sums things up when Ballard was injured by Hayes elbow.

 

[gatorev12]

Ballard and Nembhard 7-8. Rest of team 2-14.

If there's one thing we're learning from this tournament, it's that those two are our leaders and *want* to be our best players (showing the heart, effort, and leadership consistently).

We'll need other contributions to win today and throughout the season though.
