MBB OGT: #19 FLORIDA at Florida State -- November 15, 2024 -- 6:00 PM [ACC Network]

Good win over a hungry rival.

 

The Gators will sweep the Noles in all the major sports this academic year.

 

Anyone else worried about how we struggle to create shots in the paint against good defenses? No real scorers down there right now.

 

They fouled the shooter on one of our threes we made, no call. Knocked Haugh out of bounds when he saved the rebound, no call, he got knocked and pushed. The refs definitely were trying to bring the Noles back. Urrrrrrrrrrr

 

That was the final nail placed on the coffin, it was driven in by the blocked three attempt on the very next possession.

 

Won by 13, not bad. But they couldn’t throw in the ocean and we turned it over 19! Times. Against a decent team we would have lost. Lot of work to do before we start bragging on the Nolies.

 

The press caused us some issues and not having a true point guard is an issue at times but we sure have some gamers in Clayton and Martin

 

Not a great game by our guys at all, but a double digit win on the road against any major team you take and be happy about it.

Teams have bad games quite a few times in a long season, great teams still win a lot of those bad games.

 

My son and I were discussing how common it has been under Todd Father the Golden Child to have a big lead in the first half only to have the other team give us all a good scare in the second half. It hasn't bitten them in the ass in a big way yet and so the wins keep rolling in. I'm glad they close these games out, but, that lesson needs to be learned. One foot on their neck with the other on the gas. That's just a minor complaint, we are both happy overall with coach and here's to hoping those harassment claims are total bull. Go Gators!

 

I generally don’t comment on refs - it usually balances itself out - but this crew had a particularly pungent suck to it. They were no bueno.

 

Hammy's teams always have length and athleticism and they cause turnovers. What worked against the midmajors won't work against them. That said, we made some awful passes tonight.

 

Clayton - 25 points (8-of-15 FG, 4-of-10 3pt, 5-of-5 FT, 5 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 3 Asst, 4 TO)
MartinA - 17 points (7-of-16 FG, 3-of-9 3pt, 5 Reb, 2 Asst, 3 TO)
AlexisS - 12 points (5-of-6 FG, 2-of-3 3pt, 3 Reb)
DenzelA - 8 points (3-of-6 FG, 2-of-4 3pt, 2 Reb, 1 Asst, 1 TO)
Condon - 7 points (2-of-5 FG, 3-of-5 FT, 12 Reb, 2 Blk, 2 Asst, 4 TO)
Richard - 7 points (3-of-6 FG, 1-of-4 3pt, 5 Reb, 3 Asst, 0 TO)

 

It’s not his fault if no one is moving. He made some nice plays off the bounce and coming off screens, not to mention being the best on the team breaking the press. Needs more than 14 minutes. Another very efficient day.

 

I don't really agree. Certainly Condon can score in the paint, he was just reluctant to tonight. Alexis has some nice moves and soft touch. Haugh just hasn't quite put it together yet, but he's got talent. And all our guards are good in the paint.

 

Martin takes these games very seriously and losing very personally.

Clayton is just amazing.

 

Just when Aberdeen looks like he deserves minutes, he reverts back to his old self.

 

TV just wasn’t picking it up. “Todd’s a pedo” chants from the student section every timeout.

 

Anybody notice what I said about Richard's arc on his 3s? They're up in the rafters and out of view of the camera.

 

Exactly. Just boneheaded passes - unforced.

 

That's because Ted Valentine is an ACC a hole.

See Wake Forest last year.
