Watching some of the Mizzou game. First game I've seen this year. We look bad...in transition not sure why we're not attacking the basket...even when we have numbers.
...is is our team?

Forget offense, it looks like he's now forgotten how to coach defense too. We gave up 51 in a half.Mmmmm it’s a poorly coached basketball team and a coach that recruited a bunch of players that can’t shoot. You can’t run the type of offense he wants to run and not recruit any pure shooters. We sometimes get wide open looks but shoot bricks. There really isn’t a pure shooter on the entire team.
Nah, we are 2-0 in the league. I suspect we will finish middle of the pack by seasons end.We are a bottom feeder

Bama isn't horrible. They gave KY all they wanted in Lexington todayHope you're right...
Uf could have been 1-1 entering tonight, if not for bama choking. If uf loses tonight, they could have been 1-2.
Frankly, there's enough mediocre teams in the SEC to keep UF from being a bottom feeder. Silver lining, I guess.
With Mike White he is going to win enough to keep his job, but he will never be good enough to win a championship of any kind. Caught in a tough spot as a Gator fan.I'm watching the Titans/Ravens and only catching bits and piece of the Gator game during commercials. Paltry crowd, but from what I've seen Missouri is playing with a lot of hustle and making their own momentum, while our guys are sleepwalking. I did see that Johnson got 2 early fouls and rode the bench most of the 1st half. That hurt. But to let a team as average as Missouri get 51 in the 1st half shows a total lack of preparation and concentration, plus an inability to make adjustments in game. Will be interesting to see if we come out with some fire the 2nd half.
Probably a lot of truth in your post vWith Mike White he is going to win enough to keep his job, but he will never be good enough to win a championship of any kind. Caught in a tough spot as a Gator fan.

I agree it's a long season, but championship caliber teams don't lose by 24 points to a bad team. Hard to sugar coat this one.Please. Missouri had a bizarrely good shooting night. Happens. It’s like folks have never seen the game of college basketball...
Let’s revisit this thread in March.
Like I said above, you can't fire a coach that wins 20 games per season. But if anyone thinks he is ever going to bring us a title, they are dreaming.I don’t think White is the long term solution.... but I don’t know who you go out and get right now (or after this season)
It’s just the same thing every year...
here’s a team with E8/final 4 aspirations that will be a major bubble team in March.
frustrating

Let's not mention Mizzou was missing one of their best players. Mizzou came in averaging 66 per game and 58 in conference play. They have scored 90 against us.Are you watching the game? Uf would still have lost this game even if Mizzou was shooting normally.....they have been given more open looks than is excusable. A good reason WHY they are shooting so well is because of the lacking defense. C'mon, dude, you gotta call a spade a spade.
It really doesnt matter too much on how we view this game in March because no matter how good Mizzou turns out to be....the committee is going to count this as a bad loss.
It will be close for sure. And the sad thing is it shouldn't be close. We should be talking about getting a high seed, not trying to figure out how to back into the tourney. We have the talent.Anybody want to bet whether Florida makes the tournament?

68 schools make the ncaa tourney, so you are spot on correct. That ain't some great accomplishment if you are at UFExactly
I remember last year we were legitimatly concerned of not making the tourney. Lo and behold, we did. Frankly, making the tourney, as a power 5 team, isn't much of an accomplishment as some people make it out to be.
I dont want to base UF's basketball success on whether or not they make it to the tourney......
That's like basing the success of the football program simply because they are bowl eligible.
Anybody want to bet whether Florida makes the tournament?
Honestly my response to that would be whoopty freakin doo!! We were preseason top 10. Sorry if just making the tournament isn’t that impressive to me. Has White already done that to our expectations as a basketball program?Anybody want to bet whether Florida makes the tournament?
Yep. AgreedWhen are Gator basketball fans satisfied with just making the NCAA tournament? That means we're in the Final 64. Should that be good enough? The last 2 years we've lost in the 2nd round. Unacceptable. This year's team was preseason #5 in the nation and tonight's loss was the worst so far this season. And with Auburn, LSU and Baylor 3 of or next 4 games, I don;t see things getting better. When you look at our remaining schedule, I'm not sure I see 10 wins there and that's what I think it will take to make the tournament. But you're right, let's all re-visit in March.

Fair post. But in Billy's 4th season we were national runner ups. 19 seasons for Billy, 14 ncaa tourney appearances, 8 times sweet 16 or better, 7 elite eights, 4 final 4s, 1 runner up, 2 nattys. The biggest difference is before Billy arrived nobody believed you could win in hoops at Florida. We had I believe 6 total tourney appearances. Mike White took over an established program that had a track record of success. That part was already built. So in year 5 i think it's a fair expectation we make a deep tourney run. Sweet 16 should be expected. Anything short of that is a disappointing season.This would be a great place in this thread for everyone to list their realistic expectations for this team and to see if either the expectation is unrealistic or whether the team can meet it...
to read the posts above, it would seem like people expect us to be a final four team or something...
c’mon. People forget, we are not a basketball school. We are a school with a good overall athletic program. sadgator thinks this team has a realistic shot to make a sweet sixteen...depending on the draw. A second round game loss would be acceptable...sweet sixteen would be meeting a lofty expectation.
Look at how many times Billy’s teams fell short of that. People have short memories....
