    Jones struggling with both. Aberdeen, anyone?

    Hawkins moves so well without the ball. Hard to defend him if you are late on a switch.

    Only Castleton, Fudge, and Reeves should be shooting from here on out.

    They are coming off of off-ball screens and getting wide open 3-pointers. We’re not doing it. I liked JJ’s quick kick out to Reeves for the open3. CC needs to do the same when he is double-teamed.

    Perfect example why Florida is a mid tier program .. at best

    Why drive to the basket then pick up your dribble? Either don't drive or dribble back out and reset. Ugh.

    My 18 month old daughter is never going to believe when I tell her about the Donovan days. Fan support has just plummeted. Bringing in top tier talent doesn’t happen anymore.

    Man to man defense with no adjustments when UConn’s big men are eating your starting center’s lunch. I don’t understand it.

    It’s funny how much more assertively we execute our offense outside-in when the floor is spaced. The minute you get the ball into the paint with multiple bodies around, we pick up our dribbles and make contested shots/passes.

    I'm going to assume that Golden has only begun to install his offense and that it will be much more sophisticated and advanced and get guys better looks later in the year or next year.

    Why is it that so many programs see such incredible improvements in one or more players from one year to the next and we don't?

    Kugel gets a chance on Hawkins. He may give better chase….

    CC can do absolutely nothing against Klingon and UCONN is playing insane 3-pt defense.
