2. We had 3 top 50 and 3 more top 100 wins 3. We were 3-7 in top 50 and 3 of 4 in top 100 4. No bad losses 5. SOS non con was 167 6. We won 2 of 5 top 50 games (counting tourney which was on our team sheet) and 1 of 2 top 100. Otherwise perfect. |

The 2 games Florida played in under 70 possessions, they either lost or almost lost to mid majors.
I just hope we dont get arrogant and try to run with them. They can't score in the half court, and Ill be really frustrated if we let them start running |

We have to execute and make shots. We can't let missed shots bother us. Staying out of transition defense situations is big in any game. But if a team is trying to get up and down we have to get into our matchups much more quickly than in the X game.

Arrogant is a strange word to choose there. Is that what it is if you don't rock fight a perceived good team? I'm not saying we Loyola Marymount them, but we need to take our own chances when they present themselves I think.

If Kyle didn't get a serious message in the last game I'm not sure he will or can. His playing time could be in serious jeopardy. Obviously D is an issue but he also needs to get the ball closer to the block on offense rather than 10 feet out. That means he's going to have to put in the work to establish position. Gary can start from 10 feet out and back a man down and then decide if he is getting doubled or not. Kyle doesn't do that so I think he has to get position on the block to eliminate poor decisions. His shot is hard to block down there. We also gotta figure out what to do with a guard who can penetrate or we will get exposed again. Maybe we don't switch as much and see if we can block or alter some shots. UCF with Tacko doesn't care if you come in the lane. I think I would have been happier in the X game if we let Goodin take some shots in the lane rather than kicking it out for open 3's. If we let small guards from FLA come into the lane I say let them take some shots...just alter them without fouling too much. I don't like switching and running around chasing the ball too much. We either get out of position for rebounds or we leave a man open for a 3. I would rather take my chances on a small guard making 40% of his shots in the paint than the alternative (40% from 3 and/or second chance rebounds). In the past we have had some shot blockers in the paint and we didn't mind inviting guards into the lane. We can block some shots...maybe not as good as some past UC teams...but we can block some shots. Last edited by waterhead; 12-07-2017 at 10:31 AM. |

I could care less about looking good in this game. I could care less about making it entertaining to watch and playing fast and all that. I want to win. The winning formula is making them execute against a half court defense and punking them in the paint. Grind this team to a pulp because they aren't built for it. Trying to run up and down with them is how they beat Gonzaga and almost beat Duke. If this game is in the 80's we lose. I think one thing is clear. While we are much improved offensively, we are still not an offensive team. We aren't as good at playing fast like Xavier, Duke, Notre Dame, Wichita State, and others. We are 2nd or 3rd tier offensively. So lets take pride on what we know we can be elite at Last edited by justinhub2003; 12-07-2017 at 10:55 AM. |

You don't stop a team from transition opportunities just by taking the air out of the ball. You can limit possessions and hold the score down, but you have to make shots yourself. We got a rude awakening there against X. We need to get whatever good looks we can, and take them however we can get them. I feel like this game is all about setting up our halfcourt defense, especially if we're playing zone.
