you get on the band wagon of every coach.

every one of them.

And then act like you not only never liked them, but claim that you knew this from the beginning.

you're the strangest creature.

Pitiful little attention beggar, kinda sad really, but here ya go,,, yet again.
Here to foul up yet another thread with his always village idiot smelly crap.
Both Totally Clueless and Boring is any ugly combination. :confused:

Never need to read his posts, because they are always going to be,,, what they are, and what he will always be. This asswipe stalker arrives to spread his usual crap, and to be the lonely despised drunk loser that he is... :confused:o_O

There once was a goater named dunny,
who was always trying to be funny.
But with his head up his butt,
and a load of beer in his gutt,
when it came to the girls he got nunny...

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

And I see that you and your 'suck-up' dog-poker little buddy still have your hands in each other's pockets. No surprises there... :rolleyes:
 
At halftime --- "Are you guys scared?" White asked. "If you don't want to play on the big stage, why did you even come here?" o_O

The words resonated. - "I took that personally," sophomore forward Keyontae Johnson said.

"I've never played on a team like this," Nembhard said after going 10-for-16 from the floor over 36 minutes to go with four rebounds, three assists and two steals. "We need to figure out how to play a full 40."

"Their confidence level from the 1st half to the 2nd half was totally different," White said.

The 6-foot-5 Nembhard, as he did most of the night, took 5-10 point guard Sahvir Wheeler (16 points, 4 assists, 4 turnovers) to the rack to get the lead back to 4 with 59 seconds to go. On Georgia's ensuing possession, Wheeler broke the UF defense down and had a straight-line drive down the left side of the lane for a would-be layup, but UF freshman guard Scottie Lewis came with backside help and blocked the shot, as the Gators gathered the rebound.

"Play of the game," Georgia coach Tom Crean said.

"We have the capability to be a top-10 offense and defense," Lewis said. "When we truly lock in and all 5 guys on the court are focused, we're hard to score on and we're hard to guard."

"We have to learn from this," Nembhard said. "If we want to be the best team we can be and win more games in the SEC, we have to be better for a whole 40 minutes."

The Gators shot 60% in the 2nd half (18-for-30), including 7-for-11 from the 3-point line (63.6%). Defensively, they held the Bulldogs to 37.5% after halftime.

"Make your shots and win,,, or miss your shots and lose..." -- said the iG "The coaches can coach you up and prepare you, and form a great game plan, but it's the players that have to make their shots." :cool:
=========

The best can lose to the worst in SEC B-Ball, just like in all the other sports....
Some here think that UF winning @ VU was no big deal. Well just ask LSU about that...

The victory over UGly left UF in sole possession of 4th place in the SEC standings, just one game behind 2nd-place Kentucky and Auburn, and only 2 behind front-running LSU, which was handed its first league loss of the season on the road Wednesday night at Vanderbilt, snapping VU's record 26-game losing streak in conference play. :eek:

Better defense the last 4 minutes. Cut the lead down to 6 which keeps us in the game. Can't get down too big on the road. Hope Andrew is ok, he's been playing really well for us.
 
Can't lose to 11-11 team. Down 12 now with 12 to play. Again, much tougher to come back on the road. We seem to once again have no energy. Mind boggling, but this is live under Mike White....roller coaster...
 
Hey - They just posted during the Gator game that FSU has now won 20 games for the 5th year in a row. I guess by the standards of some on this board, that makes Leonard Hamilton a great coach, even though they haven't won any titles either.

Anyone on here want to argue that White is better than Hamilton?

And the funny thing is that prior to the last 2 years lots of UF fans looked down on Hamilton despite winning 20+ wins in a MUCH better bb conference.

But when UF wins 20 games in a much weaker bb conference than it has to mean everything is oky doky. Lol
 
In my mind it's pretty simple, make the ncaa tourney this year or he gets fired. Make the tourney and it buys him one more year. But if he misses the tourney this year that would be 3 out of 5 years....and that is more than enough sample size.
 
Joey brackets has us as one of the last 4 in right now...that will change if we end up losing today. We will be on the wrong side.
 
Rest of the schedule is really tough

would kind of be exciting if I thought it was Mike’s swan song...... I’m just not convinced Strick will make the move.

The candidates are out there.

I wouldn't disagree....ole miss sos #76, and rpi #129.

Rivalry aside, it would have been better to lose to UGA and win this game. And it's not even close.
 
I knew Uf wasn't a decent road team, but I thought they would have at least beat Ole Miss. I even predicted it in this thread. Some game left to play but it's getting worse....

Here's the other worrisome thing to consider....UFs next game is away at Texas A&M(rpi 157 and sos 103).

This along with the mizzou game are ugly ugly. This isn't even a decent ole miss team. To me the most fascinating stat is outside of a 7 game winning streak in year 2, mike white's longest winning streak has been 3 games.

We are out now, and looking at our remaining schedule, it is going to be extremely difficult. My best guess is 9-9 at this point.

Aaaaand this sort of situation is EXACTLY why I said I wasn't over the moon like some people rejoicing that UF came back from losing by 22 points to a bad UGA team AT HOME.

I'm more than happy to change my view of the team, but prove it on a CONSISTENT basis, not just one game here and there.
 
Beat Ole Miss by 16 3 weeks ago and lose by 17 to them today. They were 11-11, 2-7 in the SEC. How can a team with this much talent lose to a team like that??!!!
 
I mean, anything can happen... but does anyone here that has watched UF play (rationally) think that they can make the tournament with the remaining schedule left.

As the guys in studio said
Pre-season top 10 and now have fallen off the face of the college basketball earth

I cant see them beating UK or LSU


.... as bad of a road team UF is, can anyone have great confidence @vandy?

I doubt they fire him even if we somehow missed the dance or got knocked right out since its not football. He will get one more season.

They CAN because they are inconsistent enough to beat (or lose to) anyone on their schedule...but it ain’t a great bet at this point...

That was a terrible time for that clunker...

It was one of the most ill-timed disgrace-type losses sadgator has seen in a long time...

you can’t deny it...

True enough, with the way this team plays, it's possible to win both games vs UK.......but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
 
Don’t pass the eye ball test as a tournament team and haven’t, at any point in this season


Even with all of this talent.

That’s an indictment on Mid Major Mike

5 - 3 the rest of the way gets us in for sure with a 19 - 12 regular season as this will be a soft bubble this season. 4 - 4 will require some SEC tournament wins I think.

Henceforth known at MMM

Was not qualified for this job, day 1.

You don’t replace Billy Donovan coming off of multiple years of E8’s and a final 4 with a guy from La Tech.

We could have gone big but Foley, Mcelwaine’d that hire (Same thing)

Quite simply, it’s leadership. He is weak enough to allow the team to believe they are capable of repeating the GA comeback rather than focus on how fortunate they really were. He does the same thing every game and when it works says “my system works” and when it doesn’t he blames players. He doesn’t have respect of this team. I recall BD throwing a decent team with similar expectations (Parsons and the Greek kid were 5 stars) out of the big gym and making them work. Like him all you want but he is on a Leonard Hamilton trajectory ie eventually he will recruit talent that can overcome his deficiencies. Should we wait 10 years? This program was on a great path and deserves better. Cut bait now and call Anthony Grant, Pelphrey and others. Coach White can keep his COY trophies.

Imo, we gotta snag at least one from UK, and not lose to Texas A&M or Vandy.
