MBB OGT: Southern Illinois at FLORIDA -- November 22, 2024 -- 7 PM [SECN]

Off game for clayton

 

Probably would have called a tie-up

 

Florida is so much bigger than SIU. They should be going inside more often. 20 threes in the first half is just too many, IMO. Defensive intensity is what led to that big burst. Martin & Haugh had great halves. Just quit jacking so many 3's, especially early in the possesion.

 

Much respect to the Salukis for not letting up!

 

Our hot guys from 3 came in shooting 25% and 20% from 3.

 

Yeah, I think CTG tells the guys to get Condo some early touches in the 2nd half. See if we can get him untracked.

 

Martin - 18 points (6-of-11 FG, 4-of-7 3pt, 2-of-2 FT, 6 Reb, 2 Stl, 2 Asst, 0 TO)
Haugh - 13 points (4-of-7 FG, 3-of-4 3pt, 2-of-2 FT, 4 Reb, 1 Asst, 0 TO)
Condon - 6 points (3-of-6 FG, 0-of-2 3pt, 2 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 Asst, 0 TO)

 

I really like what Martin brings to the Gators this year, tough physical guard, tough D, can steal the ball, hit the boards, and play offense. UF has talent all over the place.

Get that 3 shooting squared away, this club will make some noise in the SEC.

 

I expect a much better 2nd half from him, and he'll finish with double-digits in points.

 

Definitely lucky getting some of those to drop, but most were good looks. But the way they are sagging in the paint against our bigs or doubling on the catch, it is a little crowded down there.

 

Offensive Rebs - 10 - 6 (Gators)
Defensive Rebs - 15 -13 (Gators)

 

I like the new Nissan gator commercial

 

They were clogging the paint daring us to shoot. Now that we’re hitting 3s it should open up a little inside. They’re still going to hack us, so hopefully we’ll get some calls in the 2nd half.

 

Saluki's beating us in the paint

 

Martin playing pissed off.

 

S Illinois opens the 2nd half with a 3.
46-28 Gators

 

Two quick scores from the Saluki's.

 

Clayton drives the lane for his 2nd score.
48-30 Gators 17:40

 

Massey scores one of two from the FT line.
Then Chinyelu takes it to the hoop and gets fouled.
50-31 Gators at 16:33

 

S Illinois' highest scorer Elliot gets hurt going to the hoop.
