OGT-Florida vs. #12 Auburn 3/17/2024 1:00pm

He has a losing record vs Florida and 80% fewer banners. You call that supremacy?

 

1-of-13 from behind the arc is horrendous and hideous.

 

Meh. In the world of NIL, I'm not going to get too upset about a recruit going to a cookout on an unofficial visit.

 

A known cheater head coach and a bunch of wanna be thugs who won’t last a minute in the real world once their g-league 50k a year dries up (if they can even accomplish that)…they may have won, but I love the direction we’re headed with a second year coach and guys that are about a team vs themselves…also, btw Broome shave that crap hair off…male pattern baldness has already beaten you…

 

Our front court depth is what teams dream. It is why losing Micah hurts, but doesn’t bury us.

 

It could drop us to a six. Especially if no rational explanation is given for Kugel. We are down to a 7 man rotation without him. And the two bench players are averaging perhaps 7 points a game combined.

 

A lot of folks will tell you that the lawyers had more input than the doctors did.

 

Maybe tired legs from 3 days back to back. Just hard to stay close with two 3+ minutes with no scoring.

 

Meant more substitute guards and forwards.

 

It is his minutes, passing, shot blocking ability, and presence to alter shots. It will drop us to a Sixth Seed especially in light of Kugel’s banishment.

 

It seemed like we had about 4 cracks at the lead in the second half, but just couldn't climb the mountain. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Micah. In the meantime, let's regroup and rebound to a Sweet 16 berth by this time next week. Go Gators!

 

Combination of bad things...

80-90% Auburn crowd
Micah injury
Bad shooting night
Great perimeter defense by Auburn
Untimely missed FTs
Untimely TOs

Credit Auburn for taking advantage of all of these things. I think with Micah, it's a much closer game, but if we shot that poorly we probably still lose with Micah.

 

Riley Kugel was not tired

 

That’s just what they busted him on. Come on! What bs. He’s a proven liar (to UT) and a cheat.

 

May be the ball grabbing thing he did yesterday. Don’t tell his dad though!

 

Yea, but even without him and playing our 4th game in 4 days after an emotionally devastating injury in a near road game, if Pullin hits those two free throws this game likely is very different. That was what turned it.

 

Broome trying to fake a flagrant foul by Samuel makes him my new most hated player in the league.

 

Why did this get a cmon man? Its true. He is 5-8 vs UF at Auburn and has a losing record overall (UT/AU combined)

 

Yea I hear ya. You’re forgiven bro. Open fractures are nasty injuries. Praying for his recovery.

 

On a positive note, Clayton moves to #6 in Florida history for single season scoring with 600 points.

676 - Andy Owens (1969-70)
663 - Neal Walk (1967-68)
649 - Neal Walk (1968-69)
648 - Vernon Maxwell (1985-86)
618 - Nick Calathes (2008-09)
600 - Walter Clayton (2023-24)

He also ties Craig Brown (1993-94) with 89 3-pointers made in a single season in Florida history.
