OGT-MBB Florida vs. #20 Missouri 1/14/2023 3:30 pm SECN (73-64)

ESPN studio joking about The Shrieker.

 

Not-to-mention shooting 47% from the field.

 

His substitution strategy is light years different than White’s

 

Go Gator Basketball. Beat a ranked team and Golden showed great intensity. Bothers me to see teams not performing and coaches not engaged and energetic. And then compliment everything after a loss. That’s a quad one win for golden and his guys today and a ton of credit to him. His kids feel his urgency.

 

Next up: at A&M who plays at South Carolina in 10 minutes. A&M is the new hotness. We're not the same team we were when we lost at home to them (or at least, I tell myself.)

 

this puts us in the top half in the league after starting at the bottom..

 

Great game. We actually blew them out after being down 11-0

 

Is it?

 

Well crap. Getting my hopes up again.

 

We entered the day at 7. In theory we're kind of tied with UGA for #5 spot.

 

true, outscored them by 20 the rest of the way

 

sorry meant after starting 0-2 in the SEC

 

such is the volatile life of a college basketball fan

 

Keeping things in perspective, we have won three straight against teams with first year coaches at their school. It is tougher against teams with established players in established systems. But hopefully Golden is figuring out his squad and we will continue to improve.

 

Not many established teams out there with the portal. Good to see them boys turning the corner.

 

Only 5 in the second half, against 7 for Mizzou. We evened them up in points off turnovers and were +6 in fast break points. Those were the difference makers Golden repeatedly mentioned to media leading up to the game, and it played out exactly that way.

 

Out scored Mizzourah by 20 after being down 11 to start the game!

 

Trust me I’ve been cursed many times but when I post that I’m sure of it!! Great win!

 

Aren't we also one of those teams with a first year coach? I think it just shows he is figuring out his rotation, has gotten buy-in defensively, and has found a way to run modestly effective offense despite not having good shooters.
