    Our bigs have 2 field goals on 7 shots. Condon's only shot was a 3-pointer. Golden has to settle them down.

    We’ve only lost one 2nd half this season, I believe.

    The players don't have their head in the game. Every time during the year when we get accolades, they must read them & we play poorly.

    A lucky deep 3 for UConn.
    Richard's 3 was in and out.

    The NCAA set up this matchup because we're 1-5 against UConn and we lost against them last. They gave us an opportunity for payback but we're not taking advantage of it so far.

    UConn could be up 10 if they’d find the guys that our defense keeps losing. Or if the open guys hit shots.

    I think the kids will be fine. Refs letting UConnn grab and hold (especially holding Clayton on almost every screen) and slap and push . . . and jump over someone's back with position for rebound after rebound (once calling a foul on Rueben for standing there while his back was jumped on!) . . . plus balls often bouncing right to UConn. Just keep playing tough defense which will lead to offensive opportunities. When somebody starts hitting a few 3s for Florida things could change. Also Hurley calling quick timeouts to avoid allowing a run which shows he is very concerned about that (and should be).

    Edit: Plus we knew this game would be tough.

    Can you imagine if we didn't get him?
    He's one of only 3 men on the team.

    Clayton's has hit those deep 3's all year and nobody said his shots were luck. Guess it's only luck when their guy does it. :)

    Like to see some zone on them to limit all their screens and cuts. Can't be any worse. make them make outside shots

    That foul on Klavzar was way after the ball was released, and falls into the suspect category.
