Under the heading of WTF????Five takeaways from Florida's blowout win over Quinnipiac
Florida capped off a perfect December with a 25-point win over Quinnipiac that was never in doubt. SEC play starts in one week.
SG Riley Kugel missed all three of his attempts from deep today at home vs Quinnipiac.
He’s now on an 0-for-19 stretch. 😯
Kugel has publicly admitted that he struggles with playing down against lower-ranked teams.
-----
The iG speculates, that he should then go 4 of 5 on 3's vs #8 Kensucky next Sat.... 😉
To me, Riley still looks lackadaisical and unfocused about half of the time he's playing.
Will Richard has been great for Florida over the past six games.
He’s shooting over 50% from the field and over 40% from three over that stretch.
The iG thinks that maybe CG Will Richard should be starting vs UK instead of Kugel...
Give Kugel's minutes to Aberdeen. At least he looks like he wants to be on the floor.
Unfortunately it appears Riley is a victim of his own success. Last year he was playing with great confidence and no pressure. This year he’s feeling the pressure of expectations. Some can handle it and some can’t. Hopefully he will figure it out. He is definitely talented.

Okey doke. There is a Stevo guy that posts on TOS and posts like you do, highlighting or bolding certain sentences.

- Pros: Terrifying assaulting offense with multiple first-round picks coming off the bench.
- Cons: Kentucky’s defense ranks 90th nationally with preseason priors removed, per Bart Torvik.
- Pros: Huge team that can murder you on the offensive glass and has a stable of talented guards.
- Cons: It can’t get out of its way in some games. Just costly decisions on both ends of the floor. Very little continuity.

Years ago when UK was playing Duke in an early season game, Coach K did the same thing when we thrashing the Blue Devils. Sadly his second five out scored us, and then they went on win the game.

FINAL: No. 6 Kentucky 87, Florida 85 - Florida Gators
A quick breakdown of Saturday's SEC opener at the O'Dome.
floridagators.com
Will Richard was a no show, Tyrese Samuel had his worst game of the season, we missed 11 free throws and had terrible ball handling the last 5 minutes of the game. On the flip side, their 2 big time freshmen were clutch down the stretch. Tough loss and many will blame the refs, but this is a game we should have won at home.

Damn I hope blowing this or the Baylor game doesn't cost us a spot in the tournament at the end.
You all have a decent KenPom after todays loss (36)… it’s not the losses you’ve suffered to date harming your chances for the dance
Tough loss today. The missed free throws were really the difference. Hit some of those early and it would have changed the entire complexion of the game. Cats are loaded and deep. Legit final 4 team. Still lots of season left.
UK shot free throws almost as bad as we did. And we actually outshot them from three. The entire game we did not try to get the ball inside. Our guards went one on one the entire second half, and made plenty of plays, but our advantage was inside and we didn’t use it. People criticize Cal but at the end the right guys got the right shots.
We would be in that bubble area now. If we get some good SEC wins we still will likely need to finish 10-7 in SEC play the rest of the way. This was a bad loss to get considering it was a home game. You need a few of these to punch your ticket usually.
I think you all in better shape than your NET rating says, as the committee always takes some input from the computer ratings out there. With Sagarin no longer doing basketball, then KenPom becomes more influential
So far it's like some years we just missed out on the tournament. These close losses start adding up after a while.
UF held the lead for 3/4 of the game, but they choked in the final 3 minutes:

I will say that Zyon needs to get the ball for UF late in the game - dude balled
Agree. His assist to turnover ratio is among the best in the country and him handling the ball more would have curtailed some of the turnovers and sloppy ball handling that killed us late.
Gators Basketball Edged by Vanderbilt 63-57 in First Road Contest of 2024 - Florida Gators
Florida basketball fell to the nearly undefeated Vanderbilt in Nashville, Sunday afternoon. Leilani Correa recorded her second consecutive 20+ point game to lead

Look at the discrepancy in free throw shooting. With that said we only shot 20% from the 3 point arc and had a ton of turnovers, many of them in the last 3-4 minutes of the game.
Good lord. Sounds like the refs were wearing vandy uniforms.Gators Basketball Edged by Vanderbilt 63-57 in First Road Contest of 2024 - Florida Gators
