Florida Report

John Higgins lead official for Mich v.  Bama.  Should mean we get Jim Burr.

You've done a great job on this tourney so far, we might have to send you to our early tourney every year!  I just wanted to let you know that your time and effort isn't going unnoticed!

Final report guys.  Just got back from late night at the Magic Kingdom.

A tough one but thrilling.  The boys left their heart on the floor. Zar was consoling Jimmy on the court after.  I see JB is getting some heat but you had to see his effort.  He was on Singleton and got him in foul trouble, had to guard the center when Lazar got into foul trouble and when JMay got his bell rung--which really shortened our bench (didn't see that mention but I am guessing he suffered a concussion the way the dc was looking at him).  Jimmy is our best ft shooter--he had no legs left.

Buzz and time-outs.  I think he tried to run FSU off the floor.  Len burned through most of his early, so I am guessing Buzz wanted to run them and burn up their energy with the run back.  He thought FSU was on the ropes plus they had 9 fouls through all that run back but JB kept missing (used his energy getting to the hoop to be fouled).  Even when Buzz called one in the run back, Buzz only took at :30 which I thought was a mistake.

I think DJO was supposed to take that last shot as DB was crashing the weak side as time was about 2.9.  Not enough time for DB to get a shot off even if the pass as good.

Yous was funny.  Coaches had to tell him what to do, but he did it well.  Buzz was trying to get his final TO called as DJO was falling out of bounce (or edged).  Burr wouldn't give him one.  

With about 4:40, homer time keeper forgot to start the fame clock.  Of course the officials nor our bench noticed.  Crowd was yelling.  Could have been 10 seconds , give or take.  Really bad they didn't go back to the monitor.  Of course, I think it wound up helping us.

In the end it was a battle.  FSU is picked third in the ACC, finished second in last year's ACC tourney.  It is long and talented.  Buzz needs to get more experience without bigs.  We cannot put that on a few.  EWill was up a time or two tonight, but Buzz pulled him back.

To conclude, I received some sage advice from a 3 year old tonight:  "I am cold, tired, and I want a churro."

Thanks to Dr. Blackheart...whoever you are...for some great eyewitness accounts. Tough loss, but you can't say it wasn't a successful tournament for the Warriors. NC St. game (ACC payback?) should be packed and the boys should be given a very, very warm reception!

There was another time even later, with 1 minute plus I think, that the clock didn't start either, again they made no attempt to fix it.  My son noticed it and was yelling at the tv.  Funny stuff.

Then no more night putting for el Tigre.
