MBB OGT: SEC Tournament Championship -- #4 FLORIDA vs #8 UcheaT -- March 16, 2025 -- 1 PM [ESPN]

Announcers acting like UT is up by 9 at the half

 

Just keep pounding it down low.

 

Tennessee bigs are bound to run out of gas soon. Time to unleash Tommy Hustle in the second half. He should be fresh.

 

Very nice first half. Hard fought game. Gainey & Ziegler are really good, but we're controlling the paint and nly have 2 turnovers. Tennessee is very quick and an excellent defensive team. We've got the size and depth. Richard having a great game on both ends. Just take care of the ball, no unnecessary fouls, keep playing solid defense and keep moving the ball around and we'll be fine.

 

Richard - 11 points
Clayton - 7 points
Denzel - 7 points

 

Yeah if you just tuned in at the half you would think Tennessee is dominating this game

 

So many scoring options.

 

And get Denzel to just drive at bodies until they are all on the bench.

 

Did JWill call Lanier the best player on the court? Did he mean for Vols?

 

Good half. Need to defend the 3 better. Their 2 guys in foul trouble is a 2 edged sword. They’ve been out, but they’ll be rested

 

This. We have 3+ days to rest after this game, let’s unleash the hounds

 

9 fouls on Florida
7 fouls on tennessee

Florida is 6/6 from the FT-line
(Haugh: 2/2, Aberdeen: 2/2 & Richard: 2/2)
Tenn is 4/7

Do you guys think that the refs are not calling enough fouls because of Tennessee's defensive play?

 

IMO Vols are shooting threes above what they can sustain.

 

According to Dennis Dodd, Houston is the best team right now and the only one without problems. Houston adding a potent offense to its suffocating defense has the Big 12 champs set for a Final Four run

 

We're shooting 45%
36% behind the arc
100% from the FT line

 

I think they’re calling fouls based on the home crowd

 

He’s still hurting from the 2000 loss…lol.

 

We need to come out really focused on defense. Keep Lanier at bay, stay on ZZ, and rebound. The offense will take care of itself. Richard has been incredible on D today. Probably ran a couple miles aleady.

 

Hopefully we play Friday instead of Thursday.

 

From the 3pt-line (5/14 made),

Clayton only 1/5, 7 points
Martin: 0/2
Condon: 0/1

but

Will Richard: 3/4 , 11 points
Aberdeen: 1/1, 7 points
3 others with 4 points (Chinyelu, Condon & Martin)
