*** In-Game: Bama Vs. Florida***

[BAMAWV]

UF gets first blood as Gueye loses the opening tip.

[Marshal Dillon]

Well, we are starting off on the wrong foot with too much dribbling & passing.


 

[BAMAWV]

Nice stagger screen to get Cooper loose for 3.

Bama by 3 at the half.

With all due respect, MD, how else do you move the ball around looking for an open shot?

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

These last 3 halves have been the best three consecutive halves this team has put together in a quite a while.

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

With that said, Florida will make more buckets in the 2nd half.  We still need to play better.

Agreed. But I'd say all around this team is still improving as evidenced in the last couple of weeks. They are limited in what they can do so the only way to progress was to get more from Jacobs. Obasohan's play lately has been a nice addition. Lets hope it continues--more offense from different players.   

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

Well that lead disappeared in a hurry, and we're deep in foul trouble.  Not good!

[BAMAWV]

11:15 Gueye misses a pair at the line.

[BAMAWV]

3 players in double figures. Randolph has 5. Not much from the rest.

Randolph just got tripped. No foul. UF by 8. 4:37

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

The refs completely changed this game in the first 5 minutes of the half.

Excessive dribbling and passing leads to turnovers and/or results in taking a bad shot because the clock shot is down to 6 seconds or less. We have done that all year except in the UT game yesterday. It makes a difference.

If a player does not have a shot he has only 2 options, pass or dribble. HTH  Maybe you've seen then passing up a bunch of open shots. I have not.

They'll get to work on that in the NIT. I'm sure CAG would rather be drawing up plays with 5-2 ball screens, quick hitters, elbow sets, etc. But he has been kinda busy trying to get them to quit putting their big feet on the line on foul shots.

^^^THIS^^^

I've said before that I don't think the refs intentionally change the outcome of games (in most cases).  But this is one of the most frustrating things about basketball.  You can have one play where the guy blocks the shot and clobbers the guy across the face (UF vs. Randolph) and it is called a held ball/jump ball, then you have another play where the defender doesn't even touch the other guy and it is called a foul on us.  There is just way too much interpretation required of the officials.  Some times it works in our favor, sometimes it does not.  There are too many gray areas/judgement calls within the rules IMO.  I will be the first to admit that I don't fully understand all of the nuances within the rules, so that could be part of the problem.
