Florida vs USCe in the Elite Eight

By all means, oh wise one, share with us your great wisdom. Cast some pearls of insight among the swine. Lead us to enlightenment. Show us the error of our ways.

I guess you missed the point on that "pearls before swine" proverb, eh?
 
The officiating did seems to change from 1st to 2nd half. They allowed a lot of banging bodies and incidental contact the 1st half and called most everything the 2nd half. But to allow our guys in the 2nd half to just dribble the 30 second clock away and then jack up another missed 3 time after time after time without calling a timeout, getting in someone's face or benching a player or two is a reflection on the coach, but also the leadership on the floor. I love Mike White and congratulate him for a fine year, but he didn't make the coaching adjustments needed in this game.
Agree with the second parts of your statement re the coaching and poor offensive sets.
 
How did my 1st 2 sentences contradict. My 1st said the officiating changed from 1st to 2nd half. My 2nd sentence explained how.
Sorry, I did not read your first statement well enough. I went back and corrected my error. I thought you asserted the officiating did not change from the first to second half in your first sentence when you did in your second
 
Gonzaga is a better team this year than the Gators. They are complete. Will take a game of similar whistles fr SC to be competitive. Congratulations to them, they are tough, have some players, and believed. But...so did the Gators, and with all that, the last three minutes were a sports travesty from the stripes.

Gonzaga has been getting the calls all tournament, if it's the same they will beat them easily and wont miss every shot to do whatever it takes to lose like us every single regional final

Ha ha. And sure enough, all the pearl clutchers are back in force. I'm sure Mike White appreciates the support from you all these last 10 days between the Vandy loss and this one, and will try harder to meet all of your exacting standards next year. Hopefully, more balls will go in, which = GOOD.

White had nothing to do with them jacking up bullshit bricks and the pathetic defense. They played like the losers they always show up with in the elite 8, period dot... Played yet another 3rd 2nd half in this game like flat out losers with the officials on top of it and you get beat by what you were up by going into the half. As soon as they took the lead early in the 2nd half I said we would be lucky to finish within 6 and i was spot on, because every Gator game like that is so easy to see coming miles away...
 
0-14 from three in the 2nd half.

Well, when they are guarding the perimeter and you don't take advantage of pounding it inside, hard to get clean shots off out there. I thought this was quite obvious midway through the second half. We never adjusted. To make matters worse, White doubled down and didn't have anyone post in the middle, PERIOD, in the last 5 minutes. I can understand doing something like that to open up driving lanes and mess with the other team's minds for a few sets but continue that insanity when it's not working?

Don't take this as criticism of White, he's pretty young and I'm glad he's our coach. I think this team overachieved, loss of Egbuno and no experienced bigs lowers the ceiling. I personally think Gator basketball is going to be a force going forward with White.

I agree with that. This was his first NCAA tournament and his sixth overall. He has shown he is capable of learning.

One thing I really like about him is that he does not dodge tough questions. After the UW squeaker, he addressed taking the air out of the ball too soon and not fouling before that last three pointer that tied the game.

Honestly, on that last point, I think he made the right decision. Chiozza had lock down coverage and when the ball was shot, I thought there was no way it would go in.
 
They called 5 or 6 fouls on ONE possession with four free throws lmao


2 fouls in the first half, 19 in the 2nd half, how do you even stay in the game with that impunity...

Refs were terrible. They let everybody, particularly USC, get away with murder in the first half. And then we're in the bonus in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd. Ridiculous.

I know you saw them bury our two big men THREE seconds from each other on our side of the god damn court in the SAME possession with no whistle... Yet, Chiozza gets a foul late in the shot clock for having a human body out there in the way... Something has to be done about us getting treated like a hs team, and no one ever even brings it up.. And there's a reason we always resort to jacking up 3's when getting f'd in the ass by the kentucky's and everyone we play because we get nothing when we drive into piledrivers putting Allen out of the game and into the locker room already in the first half and D Rob getting all but punched in the face with a full swing the one time we go to the basket. It's a travesty and people have to stop calling it bitching when you call it out, if we even hit two threes we would have been playing with a 5-6 point lead or more after that chiozza steal and lay in to go up before the under 4.. Same way we are the most penalized team in football since 1990 every year, and have our former coaches leave to coach the bottom feeders of the conference and point out how it's a Florida thing even while at SC and not getting near the same penalties against his team. I guess Muschamp just magically learned to "clean it up" as a head coach, quickly. Im so tired of even having to bring it up, I thought Wisconsin was bad, you can never underestimate what our kids are forced to deal with and overcome as young men, they deserve better and so do the teams that play all the blue bloods getting the same damn treatment. You guys can call me an excuse maker or biased all you want but I call it out for every team in all sports and even when it finally occurs for us like it did against Virginia and look what happened, we routed them when it finally went our way and forced UVA to do things they never want to do like us most games with the way the game is called...

**** YOU LOSER.......EXCUSES ARE FOR PUSSIES.

enjoy your ref ride while it lasted, thank God you got to play the most ****ed team in the nation in every sport by officials. USC is a ****ing joke and so is the tournament, a 7 seed that got raped by bama bum ass, TWICE... They wonder why no one watches the Final Four with awful ratings by putting VCU's and butlers in protected like the Warriors, cuz, CINDERELLA. What a clown show this tournament has been worse each and every year.

I mean bradley, at this point where we have to EXPECT that kind of treatment by the officials in ways that young men cannot overcome with their jobs in their life and grown coaches lives and families on the line from these results, how does it not sicken anyone else how it's never a question what we are forced to deal with and overcome over a team that's never been to the Final four that we just blasted at home just 3 weeks ago and we are out there playing kentucky somehow again all over again... It's just pathetic, it really is... I know everyone can see it, no matter who you root for, I had a college buddy watching the last two games with me and they can't believe what they are witnessing because they are so used to watching bama games and never dealing with it. It was so bad they left after it went to OT and how i called it all before it happened, they thought i was just being negative.. but yet they have to see it for themselves to believe it when it all takes place and plays out exactly the same way every time. They are bama fans and had enough of the refs and LEFT and stopped watching the game completely each of the last two games, and they aren't even Gator fans... other people can see it.
 
sadgator (who has a hidden talent as a "master" chef) is going to whip up a gigantic batch of chicken parmesan while watching the game in his kitchen this afternoon.

Win or lose the game, sadgator will celebrate the gators by eating it when the final horn sounds.

Chef sadgator how did the chicken turn out?? Sounded very tasty
 
Illustrious Cock is no Gamecock. He is a Clemson fan. Gators played hard and have a great team. UF is my second favorite team. (My bride went to UF for 3 years before she graduated from USC)

This was the game that not having Egbunu really hurt us. This would have been a much different game if he was available. It would have forced USCjr to take more outside shots and that would have meant less points in the paint and less FTs. They were just able to exploit a weakness we knew we had. It shouldn't be surprising that we lost due to a lack of an interior defensive presence.

Just be proud of the team and Coach White. We exceeded expectations.
 
they messed up and let south lol carolina in the Final Four, this sport and tournament is dead... all just to have a blue blood same team win it all as always just like i said.. The other side of the bracket is a laughing joke from the other side, gonna be embarrassing final like the 2011 game with Butler red carpeted into it cuz, cinderelly cinderelly NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE wwe shit... lmfao basketball dying more by the second

The game is fine. You should have watched the last few minutes of the UK UNC game.
 
The Cocks just played really hard in the second half, and that constant pounding against Florida's rear matchup zone eventually caused an eruption of points for the Cocks.

Everything i talk about with UK all came to fruition in less than a minute, great 3 second 5 second call..Cal can't get it done with literally EVERYTHING working in his direction and favor.. Anyone wonder how fast that USC travel would have been called with UK down and in trouble? lol
 
The UK fans are turning on cal and asking if he will ever win another ring...


and having the balls to say there is "no justice in the world" not enough rolling insta emojis to respond to that shit


:D
 
im only as predictable as the powers that be that give me the ammo to call it out...

That reffage when they were toe tagged was a thing of beauty though, yet here we are losing to teams taking 5 steps and getting 19 whistles in one half and winning the half by 14 to assure we have no chance... then the opposite for the powers that be when they are outplayed the entire game by UNC. I have zero pity for cheaters, and when they get cheaters justice...

Stop cheating and then crying that you aren't getting enough calls on top of that BS and i won't have a word to say.. No one seems to mind when I say it about Bama in football or the others that get calls with the most money for their schools sports programs
 
Congratulations to South Carolina. Honestly, we just couldn't stop them inside. And our scoring was fragile and inconsistent. You can bitch about the officiating, but the truth is, South Carolina deserved it.

sadgator was delighted we made it as far as we did. Had a super time in Orlando, and really enjoyed rooting for this team. Hope Allen and Robinson stay. White is a great coach, and we have a bright bright future ahead. Something tells sadgator that was only the start of great things to come!

You need to quit holding in your emotions. Just let it out. I love the SC is a joke, or SC is a shit team like in another thread. You lost 2 out of 3 to that shit team. But I do like your coach. He has class and will do well.
 
Watch out tngamecock#. I don't think you realize that numbers was in Bama or played for Bama and knows how the system works. The refs are in the know for anybody but the Gators in his world.
 
One good thing about it if we lose is that Kasey Hill will be in Europe next year.

Comments like these, made at the end of an Elite 8 season, reflect a real lack of perspective as far as everyone's respective contributions to UF. I'll take a final 4 and second team all SEC in an elite 8 year over whatever it is you've done for the school.
