In the last 5 minutes of the first half, Florida went on a 21-2 run. We let a 10-0 run go before calling a TO. And we allowed the remaining 11-2 run to take place without calling another one.

Love Nate. We won the day by getting him locked up again. And you won't find me complain about anything else about him (okay maybe some occasional in-bounds problems). But for the love of God can we please be a little better with our timeout usage during runs? I get that he doesn't like how TOs slow down possessions, but letting these runs go have put us in some huge holes that completely change the outlook of these games.

Absolutely brutal luck in the draw. I would have rather played anyone else (UK, AU and UT included), as they have the perfect combination to have this roster in Hell, but we have to be better at the things we can control.

Golden has also given the blueprint to disrupt our offense in both of the last games. Play 2 bigs (which always leaves you with rim protection), switch everything, and don't leave perimeter players to help on drives. Leaves dump off passes wide open, but our bigs either can't catch the hot passes or don't gather and go up quick enough for it to matter.

The biggest problem in today's game is perimeter defense.
Additionally, the biggest problem this season is perimeter defense.
In fact, compare Bama perimeter defense with the opposing guards' perimeter defense in today's game. There is a very big difference here.

Gators - fg 50.8%, 3p 35%, ft 86.1%, 39reb, 9ast, 5stl, 4blk, 7tov, 22pf

Bama - fg 46.5%, 3p 24%, ft 69.6%, 35reb, 15ast, 3stl, 4blk, 8tov, 25pf

First I can remember him saying he might have made a mistake by not calling another TO during his press conference, but he didn’t sound overly convinced about it. When we’ve said it on this board for 4 years, it’s past time Oats self scouts and learns from it!! Hope it doesn’t take him 4 or 5 more painful losses before finally being fully convinced.

Still super glad we locked him up!
