Walker’s 3-ball gets Gators untracked

http://www.gatorcountry.com

The problem, as Billy Donovan saw it, was that Erving Walker wasn’t taking enough shots and the shots he was taking weren’t the right ones, all of which factored in one of the longest oh-fer streaks Walker can remember and one he would just as soon forget. The streak extended to 15 straight misses --- 10 in Wednesday night’s win over Georgia Southern and five more in the first half of Florida’s 80-58 win over Troy Friday night --- before Walker finally launched a three-ball that didn’t touch any iron on its way down.

Gators making defensive progress

http://www.gatorcountry.com

A year ago, Billy Donovan isn’t quite certain the Florida Gators could have slugged out a win over Georgia Southern the way they did Wednesday night at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. The Gators won this one with defense, rebounding and a willingness to chase down loose balls to extend possessions, a far cry from last year’s game when the Gators literally had to outshoot the Eagles to get a win.

Boynton takes over in second half

http://www.gatorcountry.com

To the untrained eye, Wednesday night’s game against Georgia Southern could have been mistaken for a rugby scrum. Players from both teams were diving left and right to recover loose balls on the floor. Elbows were being thrown and nobody was shy about shoving their hand in someone’s grill as they drove to the basket. Chandler Parsons learned this the hard way as he was broadsided by an Eagles defender as he drove the baseline, ejecting him into this sports writer’s lap knocking over my laptop.
