    Congrats to Bama on their win. The better team won tonight.

    I'm proud of our guys for battling though. Did better than many thought they would.

    GO Gators!!!

    He wouldn't look as good for us. Not because I don't think he is a good player, but rather because our system doesn't make players look good compared to their ability.

    Then STOP doing. The administration will see the empty arena.

    This offense. I just don't know what to say. What were we doing the entire 2nd half and how hard is it to hire an assistant that has a clue?

    May. We said the same thing after Muschamp and McElwein. Let's hope White isn't our Muschamp and we are still three coaches away from hopefully finding a great one.

    It sure doesn't get any easier next game as we travel to play the 9th ranked Auburn Tigers

    Drives me crazy even when coaching ball at the Rec Center if my PG did that down by 10. So dumb.

    Got to give Alabama credit. They hire a coach from the University of Buffalo, and in three years he has them as one of the top teams in the country and certainly the SEC. In three years He has already taken them to a Sweet Sixteen and won the Conference Regular Season and Tournament Championship.

    It must really feel great to be an Alabama fan right now. They are clicking on all cylinders.

    I guess we just have to be patient.

    Our team has the ability but just has to learn how to win consistently. We lack a killer instinct. For some reason, White will not play Jitoboh and Castleton together. WHY????? He should explore a big lineup with Jitoboh, Castleton, Duraji, Felder, and Appleby. That gives us three decent outside shooters and an unstoppable interior offense if Jitoboh stays out of foul trouble.

    Outplayed by a better team and coach. Players that are winners and tough, this sucks and our schedule will eat up our boys. Not one of our guards could get to the hoop. The more aggressive team on “offense” was Alabama.

    It has affected the Gators fan base. Lots of people feel like this. We aren’t even Ole aMiss . Concerns for baseball too. It’s as bad as I’ve seen it in decades . I’m talking about total athletic department

    I wouldn’t doubt it, you are probably right. That’s why I won’t get my hopes up until he’s gone. White is a great guy that is most likely suited to be a better athletic director somewhere rather than a head basketball coach here.

    Do I need to answer your question? We win against quality teams on last second buzzer beaters or some other player heroics not because of White's masterful scheme, courtside strategy or half time adjustments. Why does White continue to get a pass? Five years of the same old mediocrity. Mediocre recruiting, worse player development and rejects from portal. Stricklin owes Mullen an apology if he keeps White around.

    Not yet. What's better? Losing season next year in football and we'll be drinking ourselves into oblivion.

    Jones hits 4 3s still lose by double digits.
    We need Appleby to sit more, play Felder, Reeves, Kennedy with CC, Dujuli , Jitoboh and shoot less 3s.
    This hurts as I am a White Fan but not looking like he's the answer

    I don’t know either but I’m confident there are better options available than what we have.

    No offense but that really didn't answer my question. If a coach is blamed for a loss then he should get credits for a win. Nothing I said was taking up for White.
