OGT-Florida (9-4/0-1 SEC) vs. #9 Auburn (13-1/2-0 SEC) ESPN2 8:00 1/8/2022

Can someone tell me why we don't run more plays for AD to shoot 3s? He's by far our best 3 point shooter?

 

Yep..Auburn arena is how ours would look if they flipped the camera! Good Lord I hate the lack of dedication our administration has to basketball for no reason

 

HUGE three by Duruji - good end to a difficult half. It wasn't all ugly and we're only down nine.

 

Well at least they didn't get run out of the gym

 

Well Auburn only covering by one at half. I guess I’ll take it! I don’t know, I get confused what our expectations are these days.

 

Fortunate to be this close. Still have a chance to make a run in the 2nd half

 

Duruji and Fleming need to start playing again like they can, and wth did that defense go that started the season?

 

Great game!

Fleming needs to finish with a good game tonight.

Need to give Felder more minutes.

Manage the turnovers and we can win.

Go Gators!

 

Respectable halftime score. Game is well within reach, but also well within blowout loss. Need to make some adjustments. Should go zone, but I doubt it would happen. I feel like it would solve a lot of defensive rotation issues we're having, and also put Castleton in great position to protect the rim. Also helps prevent our guards from committing fouls.

 

A 19-11 edge on the boards is something White has to address.

 

Somehow I feel good about the Gators only being down 9. In reality if they make a few open 3 foot shots and a couple of FT's they are even closer despite the stupid turnovers.

 

Makes too much sense

 

CC with 5 pts and 1 board.

 

Problem is half the time the ball hits them in the hands and bounces off on the defensive boards.

 

He's sure playing like he's injured. Just doesn't look like the same guy out there.

 

1-3 is ok, especially if a guy is like Fleming, but like I said he needs to turn the corner into the defender and the basket. You can't try to find the dead space and loft up a shot. You have to aggressively go directly towards the basket.

 

One more thing about the cameras flipped (sorry but it irks my nerves watching empty seats when literally across the court it looks like a rocking place), notice that you don't see the benches in the background. Why? Because the camera is focused on the student section. Some people brought that up as a concern but in reality nobody gives a damn when you see a rocking atmosphere in the background. Sigh. I'm done with it for now

 

They have actually turned the ball over more than we have. 9-7

 

This is the lineup that needs the most minutes going forward
Castleton at the 5
Felder at the 4
Duruji at the 3
Fleming at the 2
Appleby at the 1

 

Looked that way for about 5 games. Not sure what is going on
