Pretty accurate summation! For us spectators, the second half was more of something to be endured rather than enjoyed. The players and staff looked unhappy about it too.
About to face the "meat" of the non conference games. S Illinois, Wake, Virginia, Arizona State, UNC, Whicita State / Minn and others pose challanges. NC lost to KS by 3 in a tight game. I think we will have a better feel where the Gators stand after this run of contests.
Yea Condon did all the little things but couldn't buy a bucket. Did Clayton even score in the 2nd half? Klazvar was obviously rusty from 3. I also thought in general we rushed to many 3s. Shaqs kid is not very good, not very active on the offensive end, and tends to stand around, and is off the ball movement looks like a kid who doesn't want the ball.
Alexis' absence really highlighted that we would need a 5th big in the event of an injury or serious foul trouble. The next man up would be Mikic, but I get the impression he is far from ready to play serious minutes. the logical option would be Richard at the four, with his minutes going to Klavzar and Brown
