This team looks like a true contender. Totally dismantled a good AZ St team. If we beat NC I think this team might be a true contender for the Final Four in the NCAA tournament. Anything less than a Sweet 16 would be a disappointment with this team.

The defense is what impresses me the most. So much better than last year. They dominated the boards today and whipped up on a pretty good team. The 3 guards were very physical on both ends and they made their free throws. Excellent game. Tar Heels are next.

 
The Gators started 5-for-10 from the field overall and made 3 of their first 5 shots from the arc.
By the 4 minute mark, the Gators had taken the lead for good.
By the 8 minute mark, the Gators had a double digit lead.
With 11:31 left in the first half, the Gators were up 22-10 with much of the plaudits going to Richard and his 10 points. The lead got to 13 with 5:31 left in the half. At the half they led by 9 Pts, 41-32. Clayton, Martin, and Richard accounted for 32 of the 41 Pts.

Then they played even better in the 2nd half. They went on a 21-10 run, to bust open the game and give them a 71-45 plus 26 Pt lead with 9:57 remaining.


Did anyone else notice that on Richard's POWER dunk, the ball actually looped around and went through the hoop twice???
So maybe he should have gotten 4 Pts on that one.....
😉

UF 83 - 58 (+25) --- For a very nice 10 - 0 start to the season!
 
Not Gators, but these two vids could be used as training films on how it should be done....
A small forward and a point guard that were even smarter than they were a physically gifted at the game.
There are 2 basketball players that are more fun to watch as a fan of the game than any others that I've ever seen, and here are the links to see what I'm talking about,,, if you're interested.... (if not interested, then just move on)

Shooting at all levels - Assist Passing - Rebounding - FT Shooting %, plus even Blocks and Steals.
They are 2 of the most COMPLETE All Around Players that I've ever watched play the game.
