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

Hang in there! I'm hanging Friday style w a nice whiskey and a tinc.

 

yeah. I was kidding. I'm left alone on a Friday night. Two pours pregame. Two IPAs during game. Water now for the fight

 

multiple bad plays. Dribbles the clock out in one spot then poor decision. Coach agreed with me and took him out after that lazy TO.

 

GO Gators!

Watched the first half at home and listened to the second half on my car radio while trying to resolve a start issue with my Silverado. It didn't work so back to the drawing board. May need a new ECU.....

What a nice night out....go take a walk or sit on your garden bench in the moonlight!

 

He told you he agreed with you?

 

Yeah, all the fouls late were killing us and most of them were avoidable. But the Holes were making all their free throws while taking almost no time off the clock. Gotta play smart, Gators.

 

That's almost classical moderation - of a sort.

 

I like my moderation in moderation

 

12 rebounds for Condo tonight. He brought his lunch bucket and hard hat with him today.

 

Watched the game and then turned on the Gator volleyball game versus Mizzou.

Great night of Gator sports.

 

I did the same! Snapped Mizzou's winning streak tonight and extended ours.

 

Sarcasm alert....
I was really impressed by the officials tonight. They tried their absolute best to keep the Noles in this one. It's been awhile since I've seen a game with this many off ball fouls called. Granted they didn't want things to escalate but this seemed like they wanted the Noles getting more opportunities at the line any time they drove the ball in.

One critic of my own...
Denzel has got to pass the ball. Our offense looked stuck in the mud and Coach was trying to run something different which caused some standing around. Denzel has to set the flow and there was none for about 4-5 possessions. Walt attracts much more attention and respect when he brings the ball up. Plus we get into the flow very quickly like coach wants us to as he said in the preseason. Urban is still an unknown so that's a wait and see. Unless Denzel makes some changes he might be better as an off ball threat.

 

Great win early in the season against a rival that wanted an ugly game. This would have been an easy game to lose or let get way to close but every time it got tight we had somebody step up - often inside with a board and put back. We need to limit the turnovers and develop our offense (inside/out) but we have some great pieces.

 

We killed them on the glass and shot better. If we didn't turn the ball over so much it would have been a total beat down.

 

Turnovers were sloppy and careless. Way too many. Loved the effort and the board domination. Clayton and Aberdeen sometimes dribble around too much. When the guys pass the ball and move it quickly, they get open shots and easy scores. The last 5 minutes of the first half and most of the 2nd half they were jacking up 3's early in the shot clock and that, combined with the turnovers, allowed FSU to hang around. I love Condon's effort. He just battles every game. Alexis is a nice addition and Clayton is just a gamer. I think Urban will work his way into more playing time, as he's a pure shooter. He just has to be solid on defense because that seems to be a Golden emphasis this year. Do ya'll notice how much more physical Todd Golden has developed this team over his 3 years here compared to how soft we played under Mike White? First road game, great win in Tallahassee. Build on it and keep growing as a team. Go Gators!!

 

I don't know about that. We had a very physical, junkyard dog like team in 2020-2021 with Brandon McKissick, Phlandrous Fleming, Duruji, Appleby, CJ Felder, etc. that year that Hamilton said we out FSU'd FSU. Mostly all D, no O, as Colin had no backup but JJ and we had Duruji playing the 4 behind Felder. But I definitely agree with the rest of your post.
