Gators End Season With Same Problems
It was really no different than previous Gator losses this season. But Florida's 71-62 loss to Penn State in the NIT Quarterfinals ended the Gators' season. In UF's 11 losses, there are been several themes. Among them; a shorthanded lineup, poor shooting, and being shoved around by a tougher team....
Chandler Parsons Plays His Best Game. In Game 34.
The Gators defeated Jacksonville 84-62 in the first round of the Not Invited Tournament. In front of a rousing crowd of 4,350, the Gators dominated, shooting 63% in the first half and 56% in the game. One of the players who contributed to that was Chandler Parsons, who came off the bench and played...
Gators Finally Show Up
The Gators did something they have not done all season; in a game where Nick Calathes struggled (2-9 shooting, 5 pts), people stepped up. Today it was Walt Hodge (18 pts), Alex Tyus (11 pts) and Erving Walker (10 pts) pushing the Gators to a 60-53 win over Kentucky. Florida (22-9, 9-7) keeps alive...
Wait 'Til Next Year Again?
I thought of this during the game and I want to see what you guys think; If you take the top-7 for Florida during their championship run (Green, Humphrey, Brewer, Horford, Noah, Richard, Moss), would any current Gator crack that rotation? Hodge was the seventh man in 2007, so you could make a case...
Only One Man Can Save UF Now
...And you know who that is. The Gators (21-8, 8-6) have lost to Tennessee (18-10, 9-5) and their poorly dressed coach, 79-75. UF decided to tease all of us by making it close, but when you allow your opponent to shoot nearly 53%, winning is not in the cards. Once again, Nick Calathes (20 pts, 7...
Ashes, Ashes, The Gators Fall Down
For much of Tuesday's game, Florida stuck with LSU. But, like every game this season against a legitimate opponent, the Gators could not maintain their pace and lost in Baton Rouge 81-75. Florida (21-7, 8-5) is now 2-5 in conference road games and has not defeated a ranked team on the road since...
Perhaps Florida Should Play Vandy Every Weekend
The Gators most impressive SEC win was at Vandy and their second was today, with a 82-68 win over the Dores. Florida (21-6, 8-4) raced out to a big lead in the first half and kept the distance alive in the second. Five players were in double figures, including Dan Werner's 11 points on 4-4...
AWFUL
Billy Donovan took away the Gators' practice facility last season. What will he do to punish the Gators now? Make them run until they puke? Take away their meal plan? Take scholarship money away from anyone who doesn't pass to Calathes in the last three minutes? Once again, an outstanding...
Gators Fall In Final Minutes At Kentucky
The Gators (19-5, 6-3) did not lose tonight because Nick Calathes couldn't stop Jodie Meeks' clutch three pointer and they did not lose because Calathes could not hit free throws. They lost because the Wildcats (17-7, 6-3) ended the game on a 14-5 run. The Gators led 60-54 with 4:09 left and lost...
Gators Survive South Carolina
My dog started barking following the game and I was shocked to find Devan Downey shooting jumpers in my driveway. He was aiming in the general direction of Gainesville, about 120 miles away. He was draining them, even with me and the puppy jumping in front of him. Tonight's 97-93 win by the Gators...
