MBB OGT: NCAA Tournament -- March 21, 2025 -- (1) FLORIDA v. (16) Norfolk State -- 6:50 PM [TNT]

Yeah, absolutely nothing to worry about.

This team knew they won so early into the game. I get people wanting to win by 50 but this team is perfectly fine.

 

Todd gonna go off on the team after this effort.

 

I only remember one missed shot followed by a defensive rebound.

 

Three Gators in double figures. Haugh & Zel about to join them.

 

Just got too complacent after going up 30. Came out super high and then could never get back to that level the rest of the night.

The bad thing is all the unnecesary extra minutes our starters have had to play. Rest and fresh legs are crucial in this tournament.

 

They are whipping us big time in the paint. We aren't blocking out or defending. I can't remember a time all year when a team beat us in their offensive paint like tonight. We';re gonna win, but it sure gives the coach something to not be happy about.

 

Where is Handgleton?

 

Just remember guys, the last time we made the final four, we beat #16 seed Albany by only 12 in the first round.

 

Lazy pass by Walter unfortunately

 

I’m only disappointed our defense has been so lazy; we’ve had lapses this year and TG has told them they can’t let up on defense. You would see increased effort for a while and then an occasional effortless defensive effort. It’s just puzzling. TG will have to get these lapses corrected or we could be out against a good team. I am pretty sure we’ll see a vast improvement in upcoming games. These guys know the consequences of poor defensive execution, they have bring it over the next five games. It would bitter pill to know you lost, not because your opponent is better, but because your effort sucked. In the end, this game may be what we needed at this point - no need to walk the ledge tonight.

 

Darden 4 fouls now

 

Keep fouling Condon and you'll pay. 81-57 Gators after Martin slams it.

 

Wow, we got a stop and a rebound. Second one of the half, I think.

 

Well, looks like we are getting the crappy shooting out of the way early, so we will probably light it up next game.

 

Condons got some hops

 

crazy

 

Be careful with the ball Walter.

 

Clayton has been so bad in the 2nd half.

 

Where is the help D?

 

Clayton with 2 assists and 4 turnovers
