OGT-#25 Florida @ Vanderbilt 3/9/2024 4:30 pm SECN/App

Refs claimed it was touched again, but I have no idea what they were talking about.

 

Hmmm . . . . so we might have gotten screwed on that one too, eh?

 

I was there tonight, Kugel threw the ball away three times and lost the ball on dribble drives at least once or twice, loose and sloppy with the ball. So no. Handlogten lost the ball on captured rebounds more than once, they just grabbed it away from him, he is a big liability unless he is ready to fight.
I don’t know if he scored but he didn’t do much except stand in peoples way. He plays like this in the SEC tournament, we will get a lot of rest before we are an eight or nine seed. It was embarrassing to see Vandy’s guards, wings and big drive on us easily. Pullin, Condon and Samuels came to play, the rest didn’t pull their wait. I thought this was a trap game for us and we fell in head first. Too much reading how good we are. We don’t know how to score on a zone except force it, bad on the coaches because that is what we are going to see here on out.

 

did tv replay their goaltending call on us?

 

They did. Looked good to me, but close. I wish they had the camera over the goal; that's the view where you can best see if the ball is completely out of the cylinder. I also don't know what they meant by the ball being touched twice.

 

That “call” is utter bull schitt! I’d have that guy in my office to explain it. He can’t say that’s what he saw because it didn’t occur. The Vandy player just flopped out of bounds and the incompetent, blind ref came running in and made the BS call. When will this stop? When will these SEC refs be held accountable? When will they stop making BS calls late in games that could alter the game outcome? When will these narcissist refs realize the game is not about them? Why can’t they review this? If not allowed, change the friggin rule. They review inconsequential calls the entire game but neglect to review the important plays.

 

I'd say we got jobbed with those last couple of foul calls on Haugh and Samuels.

What happened to the emphasis on flopping? Didn't see it ever called after some early season calls. That guy flying out of bounds from Samuel's "push" should have been a "nominee."

I'm still hopeful for the postseason. We have a strong backcourt and a strong frontcourt. I just hope we recognize what our advantages are in each game and find a way to exploit it. Seems like in today's game we should have force-fed the ball to Samuel more than we did. He seemed to be playing well and no one on Vandy seemed to be able to stop him.

 

If I’m reading the standings correctly, it looks like our SEC seed would have been the same win or lose this game

 

did tv replay when the Vandy guard knock the ball from behind out of bounds, it was our ball or a foul. Of course he immediately call Vandy ball. No review and the other refs looked like the three stooges. We played down to them but these types of calls late in the game changed the outcome. The refs should be proud of themselves, “total incompetents”!

 

Perception or expectation of contact. I know basketball is fast and difficult to referee but if you don't see contact stop calling fouls.

 

But getting into a situation like that is why we lost. Not all on the refs.

 

Plenty of Gator players played bad (real bad) but the refs reffed worse.

 

It was touched again ... I saw it on the replay, before the ref reviewed it and made the call.

The ball came off the rim clean, and I think Tyrese tipped it first ... his put back would have counted.

But Micah then tapped Tyrese's put back as it was going over the rim.

Sucks, but the call was correct.

 

My take?

 

Todd's comments.

 

and their 20 offensive rebounds to our 6

 

So you're going to post the assist numbers but not the turnover numbers? I'll post them for you, we committed 17 turnovers to their 8. That will lose games.

And our superior FG% is negated by their +14 offensive boards. Running down the court in transition and dunking is literally no different than a guy missing a shot, rebounding, missing again, rebounding again, and then finally putting it in. They both result in two points.

 

Glad Golden understands, sees clearly why we lost
Now it's time to work on that...again
