We wasted way to much time not fouling. Didn't help that Florida was shooting lights out towards the end of the game. Pretty bad coaching by Bruce at the end.

We would’ve had a better chance of winning with three players shooting the last shot but yet Green controlled it.

Even a lob to Kessler from half court would’ve had better odds than that.

If Bruce gives Greene the ball in these late second scenarios again, he has lost his mind.

Wendell better not take this last shot


Don’t worry he didn’t but did the same thing in first half and dribbled and then couldn’t get a shot off and just a panicked desperation pass to Kessler who never had a chance.

We can't play on the road. We won't even make the sweet 16.

UF’s guards got hot as fire as well. That’s what can get us.

No time to panic but the book is out on us. Just most teams can’t match our depth and Kessler at the rim.

It’s our guard play that will hold us back. We’ll win a few games in the tournament but won’t get deep without Green and KD playing competent basketball

We won’t be on the road we will be at neutral site locations and possibly be pack with AU fans.

Arky beats UT today we probably still end up the conf champs and the 1 seed.

Lot of basketball to go.

Our guards are major liabilities. More concerned about being the hero.Greene did the same shite at Arkansas and the end 1st half today. shite I'd kill to have J'von McCormick much less Jared Harper on this team.

It amazes me how boneheaded they play sometimes when they don’t need to. They need to run off picks better, but they have so many ways to get us points without having to Jack up stupid shots. They just get in their own way.

They always say guard play wins champions.

Our inability to hit shots from our guards is our Achilles heel.

Also. We threw the ball twenty feet into the stands at least three times today.

We are 24-3. Tough loss but not a time to panic.

UF matches up with us better then most teams. UT is playing really good but their interior passing I think will struggle against our 4’s and 5’s. Fulkerson’s flopping all over the place probably isn’t gonna help him against Kessler.

I don’t think anyone is panicking, but we can’t keep making the exact same mistakes over and over again. People have off nights, but we can’t have all three guards completely absent all night. The lack of adjustments in late game scenarios drives me up the wall though. We’ve had plenty of opportunities to know who can and can’t handle those moments. That’s an adjustment Bruce should have made by now.

Bingo. Castleton is one of the few players that can neutralize Kessler, they have physical players, and they play a polar opposite style from us. Same with how Kermit teams are always going to give us fits. It is what it is.

Gotta learn from our mistakes and hope we don’t come up against a similar team in the tourney.

Watched that play like 15 times now. Flanagan screwed that up. Prob would’ve had a lob over a short defender if he doesn’t roll behind Green.

Lostened to Pearl’s pg and not sure he saw what I saw.
He said Greene got the lob into Kessler but what I saw was the same thing from Greene. If he couldn’t dribble drive he waited too late for the pass and it had no chance and wasn’t even a lob.

Pearl thought they were going to overgusrd Greene and Kessler would get it and Greene would get back stressing to basket. But they set up the wall around the perimeter denying penetration.

Johnson and Green were the only guards to take 3’s we only shot 14.

But yes we need someone to step up and start putting the ball in the basket from 3. I would like to see Zep take 2-3 shots a game.

Zep’s shot selection is almost too good. He really only pulls them when he’s wide open.
