MBB OGT: #7 FLORIDA at North Carolina -- Jumpman Invitational -- December 17, 2024 -- 7 PM [ESPN]

I did mute it most of game

 

some very well-timed foul calls got them into the double bonus early
Refs doing their thing

 

To be honest, we committed a lot of silly reaching fouls.

 

Concerning because those numbers usually even out. With this discrepancy and NC hanging fairly close.. yikes

 

perhaps but how many fouls did they commit that weren't called

 

North Carolina is shooting terribly, 30% overall, from the arc, 2-16. We're shooting 53%, 7-17 from the arc.We have 9 turnovers to 8 assists. Despite our size advantage we only lead 25-21 in rebounding. We're having a hard time guarding R J Davis and have 11 fouls to their 9. We're only 3-7 shooting free throws, they're 10-13. Clayton didn't play well the first half - 2 assists, 2 turnovers, 2-9 from the field, 1-6 from the arc. Aberdeen and Richard played very well. Alexis only played 3 minutes and picked up 2 quick fouls. We have 22 points in the paint and 8 fast break points. They only have 14 points in the paint and 4 fast break points. We're the better team - just need to take better care of the ball, be more strategic shooting 3's, work it inside more and figure out a way to slow down Davis. Goo Gators.

 

And it could go were we go on another big run

 

it's the FT discrepancy...we need to balance that too

 

We commited a few that weren't called either.

 

Hadn't the last few games

 

Correct by not having silly ass fouls!

 

Yeah but this game is different. UNC in their house . Way different

 

Clayton and Martin 2-10 from 3. Imagine if they heat up.

I think Clayton is playing really good defense, keeping guy in front of him.

 

We will see

 

I’m very impressed with our defense - staying in front, active hands and challenging shots.

 

We are D’ing them up. I bet this the best team defense they’ve seen all year.

Keep it up boys!!

 

RJ Davis has that Mark Sears ability to conjure files. Hate that guy.

 

No use complaining about the officiating. The minute I heard Shows was calling the game, I knew zebras would try to control the game themselves. Really slowed it down early with unnecessary foul calls both ways (then missed tons of obvious calls late).

When we take care of the ball, we can't be stopped. But we didn't do that in the first half. Were dominating the boards before the foul issues hit.

 

Two lazy passes to start the 2nd changes the entire game now.
Heels come out strong.
46-43 Gators

 

Terrible start to the 2nd half. Turnovers from Clayton & Codon, foul by Martin. Getting outhustled big time.
