MBB OGT: Virginia at #13 FLORIDA -- December 4, 2024 -- 7:15 PM [ESPN2]

Clayton, chuck, chuck, chuck, clang, clang clang, you want him to give it up, then swish, swish, swish, layup swish, we have the lead for good.
We are going to miss him and Martin’s tenacity.
Two elite players!

 

Funny watching all these "ACC is the premiere conference in college basketball" commercials during breaks in this challenge bloodbath.

 

When he gets it into his head to start going after paint buckets, he's awesome. I don't think he realizes how good he can be.

 

As usual, game thread does not disappoint. It’s like an exercise in bipolarity.

 

After UVA went up 18-9, we outscored them 78-51.

Also first 9-0 start since 2004-05? I believe the telecast showed that at the end.

 

Don't know if Clayton or Condon was MVG. Both were beasts today.

 

I'm no expert, but looks like Condon may have MVG?

 

Since 2005-06, our first national title team. They went 17-0 to start the year, then 7-6 from there. Then 9-0 from there.

 

If memory serves, that team finished on a 10-0 run.

 

got their asses handed to them. less talk, more action

 

11-0. I wrote it the way I did bc it was 17-0 to start the regular season and we finished the regular season at 24-6. But we won the last 2 games of the regular season, all three SEC tourney games, then all 6 NCAA tourney games.

 

his offensive game and footwork is way ahead of where we all thought, and he might (currently) have the highest 3pt% on the team too

 

He has incredible footwork in the low post. I suspect he or his coaches studied Kevin McHale. Condon is not McHale but nobody else is.

Back when Da Meat Hook played he was asked if he patterned his game after Barkley.

He said "No".

He said that he patterned his game after McHale.

 

Glad you mentioned Kevin McHale. Another 6'-11" forward. Those moves tonight reminded me of McHale quite a bit.

 

Clayton & Condon had HUGE 2nd halves. Richard struggled, but the defense still impresses. Can we actually beat Arizona State and North Carolina and be 11-0? That would be very impressive

 

Graphic. NSFW!

 

Just quoting the game announcer.

 

We’ve got Steph Curry and Kevin McHale on our team. No wonder we are undefeated.

 

An honorable mention for Aberdeen who made a big difference when inserted early in the first half

 

Walter made scoring look easy, Condon made some nice moves. Particular the quick move to the basket, guys cutting him off, he uses the glass to bank it in. I have mentioned our bigs should use the glass more both last year and this season. I thought dang/hallelujah, he has worked on it. The move under the basket and the reversal shot, no one can defend that. Two things that were fluid and were things of beauty which makes all Gator fans proud. Maybe our guards are rubbing off on him.
