At the half, I said I couldn't see a way to victory in this. But Rooj kept us in the game and Jitoboh managed to play the 2nd half without fouling. They were eating us alive inside when he had to sit. Big moments by almost everybody tonight. That deep 3 by Reeves was a dagger.
Gutsy win tonight - happy for all my friends here and the fans at the game...GO Gators! PS - the refs and announcers can suck it!
It's only one game but I get the feeling we may have made it over the hump tonight. Time will tell but as others have said this was a feel-good win.
Ain't that the truth. Especially after my new TV decided to start working again. Think I'll take it back and get another one.
Here's the box score for anyone interested: Mississippi State vs. Florida - Box Score - January 19, 2022 - ESPN
On the post game radio interview CMW said he feels awful for Colin. Is he saying this injury is a bigger deal than we think???
Great win, especially having to change everything up especially on the defensive end after losing CC. Playing extended zones in the second half on occasion took Molinar out of the game and that and hitting shots were keys to the victory. We had to hit a lot of 3's to win and we did.
By the way, I enjoyed the incredulous look on Ben Howland's face every time an MSU player got whistled for a foul. They could have dismembered our guy with an axe like Lizzie Borden and he'd still give the refs that look. His tears taste like sweet victory to me.
