Game Thread: ****Official Game Thread - Bama vs. UF****

[TIDE-HSV]

Gotta get it back together now and back on track...

 

[day-day]

UF driving on Bama man now. They are doing what Bama was doing earlier.

25-27 UF 4:17

 

[Hoot30]

So, we're on a 7 min FG drought.

Yeah. If we could just get away from those...

 

[day-day]

Try a pass to the post against the man defense. Good things have happened with Taylor getting the ball but it has to be quick; UF is doubling the ball no matter where it is. Obasohan got suckered into UF's plans on the last possession.

 

[Hoot30]

Good play by Taylor.

 

[day-day]

UF has 6 offensive rebounds to Bama's 1 so far.

27-29 UF 2:15

 

[day-day]

4 point trip with a bad call when Cooper made the steal but called for the foul. Another offensive rebound by UF>

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Unfortunate turn of events pre-half...

Every steal looks like it's going to be called a foul...

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Used to be that, if you got mostly ball, there was no whistle, if there was no body. In fact, the refs have been handling it that way most games this year, but not this crew...

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Almost 100% of shots you don't think are going in don't go in. I'd classify Levi's last shot in that group...

 

[day-day]

Good look by Randolph but a miss...

Halftime 29-33 UF

I don't think UF has an answer for Taylor if Bama will work at getting him the ball on the block (didn't think I'd ever say that based on his start of the season but he has progressed and UF doesn't have strong inside player).

 

[Hoot30]

UF ends the half on an 18-6 run.

Good point. He needs to get his 2nd half confidence going.

 

[GP for Bama]

I don't think this years team has finished the first half in a strong way all year.

 

[BamaHoosier]

Hate to be missing the game, but unfortunately I'm stuck at work. Hopefully we can light up the 2nd half. Ya'll pull them through for me.

 

[day-day]

Bama playing zone defense.

31-33 UF 19:00 2nd half

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Taylor is getting crawled and fouled with every shot. OTOH, every time we slap a ball away, it's an automatic foul. I don't see this ending well, with this trend and Coop on the bench...

 

[day-day]

Okay, I asked for it and got it. Taylor has had the ball inside 3 times and scored only once. He has taken good shots but needs to finish moving towards the rim and not fading away.


ETA: 3 times early in 2nd half...
