You guys can’t be shocked Florida is getting out coached-Hurley two time champ, Golden’s first time in the round of 32.
Hahahaha
Gators are choking!
Go Huskies!
Florida put that to bed. Love this highlight. A really reserved Vitale on color and the announcer whose name escapes me ATM. "Dirk Minniefield was looking down at the hoop!"
Agree but he should have been shooting 3's instead of layups late. They didn't have that kind of time.I hate UConn, but I have to give props to McNeely. Boy has balls of steel. Would've been phenomenal to have on this year's squad.
To be fair, that foul on Florida with 10 seconds or so left (the botched inbound) should've been a foul on UConn #10 for slapping the piss out of the Florida player's arm. No call. Hard to believe that the refs didn't see something so egregious.Gut Check win for a team/coach/staff that haven't been there. Martin has-but not this team. You usually have to win like this at least 1 time in this Tournament to win it all and credit the Gators for figuring it out and stepping up.
UConn played about as well as they have all year in terms of being locked in defensively--but that token pressure had them start their offense late and wore down Diarra.
Imagine winning a 2 pt game when you give up 6 pts in the last seconds of each Half on 3's. That's big time W for the Gators who overcame a poor 32 minutes to figure it out and win.
Well Walter Clayton doesn't foul when he did--McNeeley would've taken at least 3 more seconds off the clock just putting up a shot and not even knowing what type of shot it would be. Cals can be disputed and plays can all game. Make 70% of your FT's and game was over. Not like UF wasn't getting to the FT line-they just were bricking FT's too.To be fair, that foul on Florida with 10 seconds or so left (the botched inbound) should've been a foul on UConn #10 for slapping the piss out of the Florida player's arm.

I'm not disputing any of that. Florida committed stupid fouls and they missed way too many free throws. I'm just saying that foul was egregious on top of everything else.Well Walter Clayton doesn't foul when he did--McNeeley would've taken at least 3 more seconds off the clock just putting up a shot and not even knowing what type of shot it would be.

You have to ignore officiating. It's about the players on the court making plays over course of duration of the game. Crying/whining is never going to change the call so it's wasted time and feeds to your players.
UF was mentally tough today and figured out how to win a game UConn made them fight to win.
Fine. Play through it and make good passes/plays. At some point it's not about officials. Everything on this site is about refs all the damn time and gets old. This isn't about you JPFisher either so apologize if it comes off that way but at some point your level of play brings officials calls/lack of calls into the game and UF pissed away 32 mins of the 40 to make little things hurt them.I'm not disputing any of that.

I didn't take it as a personal attack. I don't think we have opinions that differ all that much on this topic. Blaming refs is easy because we have a much better view than they do and the benefit of instant replays showing their mistakes. Refs are a very human problem added into a human game.Fine.

Hurley thought they were hosed🤡The worst was Johnson comes flying in for a rebound, lands on UF player back, foul on UF player
He's one of the best shot makers I can rememberClayton is ridiculous!
