Kinda lovin’ this hoops team....

Good W. I think everyone is seeing we like it more up tempo on offensive end. Xavier is a really good team.
 
We lost to UCONN, but beat Xavier, who beat UCONN. What happened to transitive results?

In all seriousness this is the kind of win that will help the portfolio come March time. Just wish we didn't have to lose to FSU again.
 
We'll be able to observe any continued progress next month versus an undefeated Butler team on the road (Butler already beat Minnrsota at home) and also versus undefeated and currently #15 ranked Utah St. down in South Florida.

We'll be playing in the Hoosiers movie state championship Fieldhouse building so that's always cool.

We also beat St Joes who beat Uconn...

Great win...

(Mike White haters here to sh!t on sadgator’s parade in 3...2...1...)

Sorry sad, but I've been driving the Mike White bandwagon for 4+ years already.
o_O
But you are welcome to a seat on the bench. :cool:
The rest (Mike haters) are welcome to run along behind, eating my dust... :p

Just hope he watches game film and realizes what we saw - when we run and press, we perform very well. When we go slow, we struggle. Please learn from what you see coach.

Now you're going to try to tell a 3x Conference CoY how to coach this years team??? :rolleyes:
 
"Eventually, we just had to come together and say, 'It's not about the hype and all that stuff.' It was about us coming together as a team and playing how we know we can play," said sophomore shooting guard Noah Locke, who went 8-for-16 from long-distance in the Classic. "We had to stop thinking so much and just go play the game and make shots like we do every day."

Not that they weren't focused on doing those things before, but when a team is shooting just 38 percent from the floor and 24 from the 3-point line -- and the Gators have gotten open looks all season -- no offense is going to appear in sync.

"We've stayed together and just kind of played our roles," MVP Key-Tae Johnson said. "Now we're getting the outcomes we wanted." (iG agrees) ;)

COY means very little when done over one season. Even more so in his case. Not science - young players have been raised in a fast paced game for years. Just watch film and answer is obvious. Play slow down in spots to work on game after we have established a presence with press/run. Billy did this in 2000. That is the COY type. Why do you make it so easy.

Ok, “coach”...good thing Mike W reads this board to get much needed input...

Your own ignorant prattle is what means nothing....

Over one season??? WTF are you yappin' about? :rolleyes:
MWC CoY
C-USA CoY

1st Year taking over a 16-17 loser Gator team, he gets 20 wins and goes to the NIT Quarter Finals, and he did that with no NIT home games due to the O'Dome renovations.
2nd Year to the NCAA Elite-8 (Egbunu healthy)
SEC CoY
4
Consecutive 20+ win seasons.
3 Consecutive NCAA Tourneys.
Still making the NCAA Rnd of 32 while both C Egbunu and then C Gak were injured out, so playing at that level with NO BIG MAN in the middle. o_O
Began this season again with C Gak and then PF Bassett injured and unable to play. (Bassett's now back limited, Gak's still out) :oops:

There is no we involved here, it's THEY and HIM that's getting it done. o_O

Why are you so stupid? (rhetorical) :cool:

Mike White's Defense: 59-63-60-62-62-58-65 = 429/7 = 61.3 Pts/Gm

Mike White's Offense: 74-51-66-59-70-78-70 = 468/7 = 66.9 Pts/Gm

The difference is not coaching or the offensive or defensive styles, it's strictly on the player's shooting %. o_O

Hit enough open baskets and win,,, or miss enough wide open shots and lose.
It's pretty simple really.... o_O

Florida is playing the #1 SoS vs Non-conference teams, per KenPon. o_O

UF has 14 wins against ranked opponents since Mike White's 1st season in 2015-16, which is tied with Alabama for 2nd most in the SEC behind Kentucky's 18 in that span. (one Per/Yr less than UK/CalCheat)

A little credit where it's due for Mike for a change would be nice.... :cool:

BTW - After tonight, it will be 29 days until the next home game for the Gators. UF has 4 games during the month of December, but the next 3 are against likely NCAA Tournament teams: @ Butler (Dec. 7), against Providence (Dec. 17) @ Brooklyn, N.Y., and against Utah State (Dec. 22) at the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise, Fla.

The Gators' next home game is Dec. 28 against Long Beach State, which is also the final non-league game before opening SEC play Jan. 4 at home against Alabama.
