Hmm. Article says the GATORS "missed 11 of 29 attempts in this game. And that included Walter Clayton Jr. and Zyon Pullin making 9 of 11."

The box score I'm looking at now says 18 of 29. Just sayin'

Upon further review...

This was a game that was there for the taking. It is a shame there were too many holes in our game. If I had to summarize, it was a game of two pretty decent teams who were doing things to lose it, and we lost it more than Kentucky did. That won't matter in March, just who won and who lost.

I may have some UF glasses, but I thought Kentucky made many more 50-50 shots than we did. That was a good offense. Richard was a shame. It may be a ceiling of his or just a bad game. We shall see. I was encouraged by the freshmen bigs and Aberdeen. That is a nice design.

Now to the "brain farts".

I will say that the team needs more meshing against the better teams. There was some excellence with some WTH moments. If we can mesh, watch out! I sincerely hope that Kugel is prepared to be a first round NBA talent going forward. He can do it. Can he do it for the entire season?

Free throws. It probably cost us the game but it may cost us against the lousy teams in the future. THAT would be bad. Samuel seemed to have reached a limit against better competition. I want to believe he will learn. Micah also.

It is over. Time to mesh, grow, and win.

Good post. But I think Samuel is just getting started in the SEC and he will flourish. FWIW
