OGT-Auburn @ Florida 2/19/2022 2 pm

Our shooting took a down turn but we're still ahead. CC leading scorer with 10. No points off the bench - yet.

 

Sad reality is that half of basketball is the only way Florida can compete against the top teams in the league. They hold Auburn to their worst half of basketball of the year, and only a 1 point lead. Only getting MJ one clean look the entire half, and it was in transition. The half court offense is just atrocious.

 

Auburn looked worse than us with all those horrible turnovers. At least three they just straight threw out of bounds, one they hit the bottom of the backboard and then that mess to end the half. Let's hope they don't get their _hit together in the 2nd half and we find a way to get Jones the ball with a chance to shoot.

 

Defense is great so far. Question is can we keep it up. Refs seem like they want to ensure that Kessler doesn't get in foul trouble. Dude should have at least 3 fouls already.

 

Don't worry . . . as soon as Auburn takes the lead for the first time this game, they'll start posting. LOL!

 

If we were a little bit more efficiently on offense we would be up 12-15. But we aren’t. We are a chit show on offense . Lane said coach “ I was wide open , that’s why I shoot” Coach said there is a reason you’re open son”

 

5 now for us.

9 for them.

Auburn vs. Florida - Box Score - February 19, 2022 - ESPN

 

Already a bad ref post!

 

Yeah but our kids' stifling defense so far is contributing to that Auburn looking worse. Not many acknowledging that.

 

The box score is wrong

 

Makes no sense that he’s floating around the outside. The only way Auburn will guard him is if he’s in the lane or around the baseline. And if he is on the outside, he should be coached the drive 100% of the time. Don’t waste the possession by shooting three that has a 5% chance of going in. His defense is unbelievable and he probably needs to be on the court to hold Auburn under 50 points, but he can’t waste possessions on offense.

 

If we were to go on a 10-0 run the crowd would explode. Big if.

 

No 1 pt moral victories for me, thanks. It was 22-14 with 4:04 left. That's garbage.

 

It's not a "moral victory" it's the halftime score against the #1 or #2 team in the country!

 

First team to score 40 wins.

 

Great move by CC!

Draws a valuable foul on Kessler.

 

Best shooter we have. He should be continuously running sideline to sideline off screens looking for open looks.

 

Without a doubt.
