Despite the refs, we utterly self-destructed the second half. I do question the player rotations in this game. We looked like barely an average SEC team tonight. Extremely disappointing performance with pathetic officiating.
Bad loss. Nothing more to say. I thought something was wrong when everyone was picking us to win by 10 or more.
This team is good and will get better. Golden needs to cuss these refs after. Pretty awful. How many slides on the pick up dribble did their guards have? Lol
I don’t think we have to look at it like that at this point. We’ve played a number of games not at full strength, and this was the first real stinker.
Love what Todd Golden is building, but I really wish he was screaming and kicking right now. Love to see him go full Bobby Knight.
Hard to stay motivated when the refs are screwing you so bad that they let the other team come back from a 9 point deficit or whatever it was.
21 fouls on UF, 16 on WF. I honestly don't think the game was called badly. Just think we lost our cool and they played a better team game.
We certainly did not bring our A game. And that game was one of the most lopsided in terms of officiating I have ever seen. Their guards push off to create space - no foul. Our guards get drilled going to the basket - no foul. How do you justify calling DOUBLE the fouls on one team before it gets late and they are fouling to stop clock? How do we have over 10 fouls with ten minutes to play in the second half. Just absurd. Valentine is such a tool.
Officiating aside … I didn’t like our rotations at all tonite. And though there were others who beat this drum loudly regarding Mike White, tonite I will say that Golden needed to get a technical foul. Defensively, we needed to throw some different looks every now and again.
