MBB OGT: NCAA Tournament -- (1) FLORIDA vs (4) Maryland -- March 27, 2025 -- 7:39 PM [TBS]

Onlyif Chinyelu is smart enough to kick it out hwen he is double teamed. When the ball goes into him, it never comes out. He's shooting it, no matter how difficult the shot. Needs to settle down and kick out to open shooters if he is doubled.

 

The number of commercials is absurd.

 

I love when a team isn’t known for their ability to create turnovers does. Or a quarterback has a high interception rate… except when they play us.

 

Stop turnovers and make free throws and we win in spite of the refs.

 

Exactly

 

Condon taking shots, but not moving much.

 

After the UConn game one would think we would have learned to stop turning the ball over, it's not like they are forcing us, we simply are making unforced stupid turnovers. Simply unbelievable.
Our bigs need to step up and missing Condon will hurt. Our reserve guards have added almost zilch which means not a lot of rest for our starting guards.
We need to come out with pants on fire.

 

This is why I said depth is overrated in a single game. Especially in the tournament with how freakin’ long the halftime break is. Maryland has had plenty of time to rest. Their starters with almost no foul trouble are gonna go the rest of the way if they have to. It’s gonna be our best 5 against their best 5.

 

The spread on this game was Gators -6.5 right?

 

What? Our posts here didn't have an affect on the game?????

 

It actually went up to -7.5 right before tip-off.

 

I'd like to see how many fouls we have immediately after turnovers. I can think of at least 4. If we turn it over, at least don't foul

 

Neither team has a blocked shot.

Maryland's front court:
C: J. Reese (1 foul): 8 pts, 5 reb, 2 A, 1 Stl
PF: D. Queen (1 foul): 10 pts, 1 reb, 2 Stl
PG: J. Gillepsie (1 foul): 15 pts


Regarding Florida's frontcourt:

Chinyelu (2 fouls) rebounding nicely (5 reb) but only 1/5 in the post.
Handlogten (3 fouls) with zero points, zero rebounds.- My advice: Don't foul, box out & rebound, Florida will need him in the 2nd half.

Condon (0 fouls) with 4 pts, 2 rebounds - questionable for 2nd half.

Thomas (2 fouls) has 5 pts, 5 rebounds, & 2 assists.

 

FOUL ON QUEEN LETS GOOOOOO

 

The Queen fouls Haugh to start the 2nd half. Haugh hits both FT's.

 

Martin with a timely trey.

 

Nice pick n roll play by Haugh.
Reese with his 2nd foul now.

 

Didn't need that foul Richard.

 

Richard with the TO, then compounds it with the frustration foul.
