Official Final: Florida-84 vs Alabama State-35, Sunday, 3:30 PM, Sun/SportSouth

[HALLGATOR]

Well I said in the Georgetown thread that the regular season was finally kicking off but I guess that didn't turn out to be correct. Hopefully they don't decide to play this one outside and a rainstorm come up or we still might not get the season started.

Yes.

[ufhomerj31]

Woot, going to the game.

[jjenkins5]

Any word on when he might return? We will really miss him versus Wisconsin since Scottie won't be back. Of course, I care most about his complete recovery. I just hope that happens quickly for him AND the team.

Unlike Friday night, they are getting the ball to Patrick inside and he is dominating.

Team looks solid. The added depth of Scottie and Casey will only help.

The score is now 34-5 and virtually everything is working. Even Graham has scored.

[VTGator]

This team looks much more physical and aggressive than last year's. No easy basket on D, every shot is challenged.

As football season winds down there should be more joining us on the basketball threads. It's usually that way every year.

[BengermanV]

What a half! Great way to kick off the season!

[GatorPlanet]

Wow, nail-biter taking place here. Gators need to wake up and start playing some basketball. I can't take another U-LaLa game like yesterday.

[Angaza]

As football season winds down there should be more joining us on the basketball threads. It's usually that way every year.No doubt but a short thread usually gives me a good warning as to how our team is playing. Not much to complain about when you dominate like this. :grin:

[gatorbogey]

Gators shooting 60% from the field, and 40% from the arc, 7/11 at the free throw line
gators up 24-12 in rebounds
7 turnovers, but 21pts off of 7 steals.
24pts in the paint
13 assts

3 gators in double figures - boynton, young and murphy

[G8rNkoko]

I noticed this on Fri night, a real nice sign is even Mike Rosario is putting effort into playing defense. We all know he can score, but Billy seems to have gotten the message across to him about playing tough on D.

[lean_gator]

Amazing first half. A lil worried about the minutes Boyton is putting in though. Just a lil.

[ThePlayer]

Is this some sort of cruel joke to have a halftime infomercial
with Coach Calimari while our potential recruits are watching?
How is this anything but an advertisement for their program?

[SwampFox]

I'm at work, so can't see the game. Is our D that good today or is Ala St. that bad?

[G8rNkoko]

Swampfox, I'd say it is a combination of both, they really aren't very good and our defense has been suffocating.

[HALLGATOR]

I'm at work, so can't see the game. Is our D that good today or is Ala St. that bad?

I really don't know that much about their offensive ability but our defense has been outstanding in my opinion.

[Jonas]

both lol

[G8rNkoko]

Current score 61-14

[ApexNC]

65-16....freshmen throwing up a bunch of bad shots

[ApexNC]

...but great they're getting lots of PT

[BengermanV]

Freshman have been great on defense but lacking on offense.

[HALLGATOR]

Freshman are 0-6 from behind the arc

[G8rNkoko]

Billy is going to have a lot of things to talk about after the game particularly with the freshmen.

[jcp]

I am glad the freshmen are playing a lot of minutes.

Yeguete is scratching his head, hehe.

[G8rNkoko]

The last minute, our five players on the floor were four freshmen and Yeguete. Doubt we will see that much in the future, it's only due to this blowout.

[CAGator93]

No dew on the court to save these guys....

[GatorPlanet]

The last minute, our five players on the floor were four freshmen and Yeguete. Doubt we will see that much in the future, it's only due to this blowout.

Agreed. It's a good chance to get the freshman some game time. I sure didn't like seeing Murphy take a shot to the head on that last possession. We can't afford another injury.

[HALLGATOR]

73-18 with 6:52 to go

[G8RBrave]

I'm at work, so can't see the game. Is our D that good today or is Ala St. that bad?

Yes.

[SwampFox]

Yes.

:laugh:

[HALLGATOR]

Freshmen now 1-12 from three point range

[SwampFox]

Yep, looks like Ala. St. lost to Mid. Tennessee in their first game by 45, so hard to really gauge a whole lot from this blowout.

[G8rNkoko]

The lineup now is Graham, Kurtz, Walker, Ogbueze and Frazier II.....four freshmen and a walkon.

[GatorNation850]

Great Game Gators

Final 84-35

[born2beagator]

OT: South Carolina needed OT to beat Milwaukee. What happened there?

[bullish]

How about the last minute 4 freshman and a walk-on. Ala State had a lot of freshmen Bill Koss kept saying. Clearly outmatched. We have some good talent. Hopefully we will stay healthy and get Prather and Scottie back.

A side note: the pg freshman Ogubueze is a lot like Rosario, never, I mean never, do these two like to pass up shots. Ogubueze likes to drive to the hole like Erving but is a little larger. Billy pulled Rosario about halfway through the second half because he was slacking on defense and due to the score.

Frazier missed everything he threw up except he is deadly on FT's. Graham had a hard time getting shooting chances but was mixing it up for steals and rebounds. Walker, 6'6" freshman had a decent game, 5 or 6 pts, 3 or 4 Rebounds and an assist or two. Pleasantly surprized with Devon Walker. All the freshmen will get limited chances when the tough games start. Play unselfish, play D, help set up teammates and shoot only when you are open is the key for more playing time, plus hitting their shots.

The front line players were steady and improved for the better. Hope they stay healthy.

[Bradass]

I thought Murph played a great game, albeit against some lowly competition, but he looks stronger and more physical in the early going, and his post up moves look to have improved. I know he's always had some ability with his left hand, but that seems to be one area where he has definitely improved.

[Gator40]

Didn't get to see the game, but great to see they took control early and didn't relent. Very good win. Wish we could be 2-0.

Thanks for the great pics Jaggator!

[jeffphillips21]

great pics Jag! they always seem to look better when you win by 50

[Jaggator]

You're welcome guys. Occasionally, I'll post end of game pics in Ray's football game threads. Then people can see what they missed.

Nothing like seeing an up close dunk when you win big.

[HALLGATOR]

I agree with someone's take on Murphy, the guy looks bigger. His arms seem to be quite a bit bigger than last year.

[MJGator8104]

Loved your pic's Jaggator...can't wait to see them after the next game you attend.

[BengermanV]

Thanks for the pics Jaggator!
