Helping to prove that point, the Gators own a perfect 23-0 mark under Finely when holding opponents to 60 points or less.
Growl appreciate your effort but nobody cares about basketball anymore. Wom n have been done and the men are through as of today.
Anybody know why the games are getting called from the homes? Also one of the twins are not on the bench. I al physically here at the game
Officials allowing a very physical game which has so far this year challenged the Lady Gators. I hope they respond a little more physically now themselves.
They're playing a little better. Take the cover off the basket and hit a few of the 3s and pull the Lady LegHumpers out of that zone and the rest of the game may start looking a lot different. Also the other team has gotten a few bounces, which happens.
4-5 just poor passes and lack of rebounding position but it's still just 23-33 with 3:42 left in the half.
