Focus, Goals & Things to Work On

Developing a killer instinct. Stop getting 15+ points leads and allowing teams to go on 7, 10 and 12 points runs in response. If we can blow a team out by 20, take advantage of it and finish the half or game strong.

Improve defensive rebounding. First shot defense has been decent even vs Bama, it's the 2nd and 3rd shots that killed us vs Bama and allowed LSU to hang around in the first half.

 

Good list. I'd add closeouts on 3pt shooters

 

Agree about all especially the handling the press. Vandy also tried it in the first half and Richard and our bigs (move!! help out!) sucked at it. We must improve that if we want to win in the tournament

 

Shoot free throws, work the ball into Micah and let him shoot more shots, work on breaking the press, get Kugel and Aberdeen into the game more and let them get a role they can commit to.

Let Haugh bomb away from the 3.

 

Passing after a timeout leading to an easy score or two...

 

I want to see us pound Mizzou on the boards. That's been our strength all season, but we've kind of slipped there the last two games.

 

I'd like to see Micah try a short hook or two in the next game. We need him to become a scoring option.

 

Keep and sustaining a DOUBLE DIGIT second half lead!

 

I like the progress on offense with Condon and Haugh.
Haugh is demonstrating he can hit the three. I like his shooting form.
IMO a "key" for UF in terms of making big things happen is for the "bigs"
to pick up the offensive pace just a bit more from mid range.

All of them, including Samuel, have a decent mid range shot.
Imagine if Micah, Condon and Haugh were able to pick up that shooting %
just a touch more.

 

On working against the press, anyone on the floor has to go to the ball, don’t stand flat footed. this is where we have turnovers, the person receiving the ball has to be moving to the ball.

 

Despite shortcomings, there's enough talent and grit.

We need one or two guys to decide there's no more losing and get everyone to step up. It's what was needed to win the close losses. Someone to call the huddle before overtime at Bama and let everyone know we're WINNING the effing game!

I've often seen Richard be the one talking in the huddle. Love him but he's not that guy.

 

We've had some very nice inbounds plays in the last few weeks.
