Florida game thread

[muwarrior97]

Marquette is just outmatched in this game. Nothing to be ashamed of on the road against #7. Keep plugging away.

Sidenote: Anyone else being driven nuts by the fact that Frazier shuffles his feet whenever he catches and shoots? Seriously, every single time.

Good observation, gotta check that

[mileskishnish72]

You're right, Stash.

[muwarrior97]

Will Buzz have a voice after half-time? Can we get a coach-mic live in locker room...uh wee gonna be ugly

[AirPunches]

Wilson playing scared. Blue looks good. No Gardner/otule yet. Dwilson and lockett played a good half I thought. Florida is very good. Lets hope MU makes a run in the second half.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

For all the "sky is falling" scoopers. We will be fine this year. We are playing a top 5 team on their home court. Plus Vander is for real.

always some a*hole who goes off on MU 3 pt shooting - Frzier - 4 - 16 coming in to the game, 4-4 tonight


why does this always happen to Marq?

Because the way our defense sets up, overplays the strong side and are not quick enough on the rotation resulting in too many easy open 3's.

Cannot guard the 3 ball at all.  Problem was pretty evident in Maui...

[tower912]

Beating a top 10 team on their court is well-nigh impossible.   All I want to see in the second half is to see JWilson and DGardner play with as much passion as Blue and DWilson.   Freedom is just another word for nothin left to lose.  

[robmufan]

I like to see Blue has no fear from that injury.  He is basically picking up where he left off.

The most recent one in transition was blatant. I don't know how they can let him do that.

It's a pet peeve of mine right up there with a player dropping a pass, picking it up and then dribbling again. That's double dribble (Jamil actually got away with it in the first half).

MU getting beat on boards 18 to 11.

Florida has 4 blocks to MU's 0.

MU 1 for 5 on threes, Florida is 6 for 14.  I would guess 12 of those attempts were wide, wide open.

J. Wilson has 2 points and Gardner zero.  Florida frontline doubling Gardner each time and he can't get pass off.

Florida zoning knowing MU can't shoot.  

[MattyWarrior]

Why is JWilson so soft, looks like hes just going thru the motions, and the O doesn't move at all.No scorers, we be done.

[tower912]

Florida clearly has scouted MU's defense.    They know MU traps the post and switches and helps    They are spreading the floor so wide that if there is any help at all to the post, it will lead to....wait for it.....another wide open 3.    And they are playing a really nice match-up zone.   Historically against a zone, we would get DJO/Jae/Lazar to the foul line.    Tonight, JWilson is going there occasionally and then doesn't really want it when he gets it there.    

[4everwarriors]

Gotta blame this all on our lack of football.

[4everwarriors]

Check that. I blame Crean

[tower912]

Mbakwe's fault.

[real chili 83]

Check that. I blame Crean

Off your game tonight?

Great analysis, sad but true to read

[Newsdreams]

Team looks lost against the zone. Why? They should be expecting every team to play zone.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Need to get it within 5 in in the first 8 minutes. Lets see what were made of and if JW can pull his head out of his arse.

[mileskishnish72]

Van had several out-of-control drives.

[tower912]

At least he was being aggressive.   I wish the rest of the team showed up like Vander did. 

[muwarrior97]

Breaking news!!!.........Florida is pretty good, Allie Gator called it

[mileskishnish72]

But then again, someone had to do SOMETHING!!

[MerrittsMustache]

Jamil is looking for the foul/contact. He needs to just go up strong and not worry about that. He'll be OK and will end this game in double figures scoring.
