Congratulations on a fine season. Seriously

[Albert Gator]

I know we had some fun the other day, but you are a good team and have a good coach.  Tonight was one of those nights for your team.  We didn't play all that great either, but tough to lose when the other team shoots less than 30%.


I felt the key the other day was to stop Odom and Crowder because you had no one else.  I was not to keen on your point guard either.  Blue, well I said the other day he can't make a layup.  I should get into this business as a prognosticator.  Felt I hit them all with those predictions.  I was surprised you didn't go inside more, but the big fella was really hurt for your squad.  You could see he was laboring and couldn't jump.

Louisville will probably cream us.  Congratulations on a fine season and best of luck in future endeavors.

[Clam Crowder]

Albert, if we played as well as we could you would have gotten destroyed tonight. Bradley Beal is going pro, and you are going to lose in the next round. Good game. You got lucky.

We couldn't hit a shot and Florida took advantage of that. You guys hit some real backbreakers and got some key rebounds near the end. Tough team. Honestly thought the way you guys would beat us was outshooting us, but you grinded out the win and outplayed us.

Good luck against Louisville.

That is why they play the game.  We knew you had only two guys that could hurt us.  We were more than fine letting your point guard, Blue, Mayo and Gardner beat us.  Gardener was the only one that had me worried. Blue, what is wrong with that boy?  Wonderful athlete but not a very good basketball player.  We could use him at free safety. 

Lucky or not, Billy is playing for his 4th Final Four

Albert, you did what I thought was impossible: you stopped Odom and Crowder. Props to Billy. Big props. I can't even contemplate how you did it...

[MerrittsMustache]

Congrats, Albert. Go beat Louisville!

[Clam Crowder]

Nobody stopped Jae Crowder but himself tonight. He had looks that he usually makes, and he missed them. The defense didn't have all that much to do with it. DJO just wasn't really all that agressive. We also saw one of the worst possible performances from our point guard

[redddog13]

Just what we need tonight is Floriduh fans puking on the board. 

Go Loserville.

I thought it was fairly elementary when I said it the other day (took some major heat over it, too).  We have good athletes.  Chase those two around the floor and make them work at it will tire anyone out.  Some of those three's by Odom and Crowder came up short, meaning they were tired.  Although in the second half Crowder had a few that were halfway down.  If those go in, might be a different game.  Crowder in foul trouble certainly helped.

You didn't get the Gators best effort either.  Honestly, both teams did not bring their A game tonight which is unfortunate.  I'm out.  Congratulations on the season.

Have fun Al, good game by y'all, played good D and we couldn't hit a bucket, have fun with the mentor and his cards

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

Blue, what is wrong with that boy?  Wonderful athlete but not a very good basketball player.  We could use him at free safety. 


wow this guy watches one game and he gets Vander in a nutshell.         Couldn't be a more accurate statement

[Clam Crowder]

Hahaha tell it how it is Joe!

[Novak4Three]

Dude. Leave us alone. For real.

[Jumping Jesuit]

Does anyone else get the impression that Gator wishes he was driving a 1978 white Cadilac convertable with bull horns as a hood ornament?

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Congrats Albert. Your guys won. Good luck against L-Ville, though I'll be pulling for the Cards (tough to say).

[Babybluejeans]

If I lived in Florida my primary concern wouldn't be about bball but about why I shouldn't kill myself. Florida...gross.

[brewcity77]

Albert...thanks. I still believe like we are the better team, but your individual had the better night (Beal). If stopping DJO and Crowder were elementary, we wouldn't have been 27-8. Jae was saddled with foul trouble and couldn't hit the Atlantic from Daytona Beach. DJO couldn't get into rhythm and we definitely didn't play anything like our normal game. I'd guess that if we played 10 times, we'd win 8. You happened to get 1, it happens. Congrats, though I definitely like UL to go the Final Four.

I guess I'm one of the few that thought it was a class post from Albert in the OP.  Yes, we couldn't hit shots and got into foul trouble, but Florida outplayed us, plain and simple.  Albert comes on and says congratulations on the season and we've got posters who tell him "frack off" and call him a "c@cksucker"?  Show some class when we lose. 

Good luck in the next game Albert.  But Louisville is peaking though so I'm picking them to go to the Final Four.

+1

I chalk it up to emotion of the loss.  I agree, though, it was a class and accurate post.  He deserved some derision earlier in the week, but not for this post.
