Really not sure what this team is.


Sounds like us too. The team that's played the last 3 (4?) games is not the same team that was playing the rest of the season (outside of the Houston game).

I'm just totally perplexed. I understand having an off game but this is beyond that.

I agree I’ve heard it both ways with big John, some people say he wants to come back some say he’s just getting free physical therapy for the NBA. Stokes and Johnson should help next year when they are healthy, but White has never recruited Bigs very well, so until proven otherwise I would expect it to be a weakness in the future. His offense is very guard oriented anyway but it doesn’t help when you don’t have an elite big on D.

I actually picked LSU to finish second or third in league play this season. They have a lot of potential.

But yeah, we need to figure way to steal two road games.

At this point it's hard to believe we beat OU.

If Florida has two or more elite level guards on their team they will be able to beat Arkansas. Even without having a big in the game.

At least, they will be able to beat Arkansas unless Arkansas switches up their game plan a bit. Full court pressure and half court traps don't work if you're playing against a team that doesn't get rattled and turn the ball over.

Leadership issues right now. Too many chefs in the kitchen. Our senior guards have decided to play like they're all gonna score 30 points per game. Which doesn't work because then they're not letting the game come to them. They're forcing shots that won't go in. They aren't running the offense. It's why our assist numbers have gone through the floor.

They're capable of getting their mojo back at any time though. Let's hope they do this Wednesday. Because if they do, they'll give Florida all they can handle.

Yeah if you press all game Cheese and Allen will have a field day we’ll run all day against a press. Your coach should do everything he can to stop the break and make us play half court O. We can’t beat a zone unless Stone is hot from the arc and against man we’ll throw it around the perimeter and take a 3 at the buzzer in the half court every single time.

Guess it will be a good chance to see if Mike Anderson is worth his paycheck.

If Florida is missing more than one big man then Arkansas can easily win this game, provided Mike does a good job scouting your team and gameplanning accordingly.

No reason you shouldn’t be in this game, we have plenty of weaknesses especially on D. We may also only have 7 available scholarship guys. So we won’t be able to run all game.

If Florida only has 7 scholarship players available Arkansas should win this game without question

Even if Arkansas's second string dudes can't hit the ocean, the gameplan will then become run, run, run, and run some more. Florida won't have the legs to play the entire 40 that way.

Egbunu C
Stokes F
Johnson F
Bassett F
Gak C
Are all definitely out...
Leaves us with
Chiozza G
Okaru G
Allen G
Ballard G
Hudson G
Egor F
Stone F
Hayes F

Ballard and Chiozza are game time decisions they’ll probably both play though they did against Ole Miss.

Didn't our second string guys actually deliver the last game?

Macon came off the bench. So his points will count towards bench points.

The guy we really need scoring off the bench is CJ Jones and that dude is off his game so much right now he has taken to bricking layups off the iron.

We will press all game, shoot below 30% and the game will get ugly.

Zero confidence in this game whatsoever.

Gafford will be on the bench within 10 minutes for 3 touch fouls.

Yea I think we will have to rely on transfers for big men. Which isn't a bad strategy overall. As long as you can get them steadily. Transfers are kind of our loop hole to stay up in talent now.

I thought Beard and Thompson were both better too.

We still played clunky as hell and what happened to my Barford? He's totally lost his smooth awesomeness and now he just comes across as a ball hog to anyone who wouldn't know better. I want the old Jalen back.
