wow i'm really happy with the play. this game's pretty exciting.

1/3/2009 4:57:57 PM

good first half

lets finish strong so i can call my friends in gainesville and talk MAD SHIT

1/3/2009 4:58:08 PM

FYI, we need to run more plays for fells. He can jump over anyone and get a shot without worrying about a block.

1/3/2009 4:58:29 PM

Our bigs are playing great. As long as they dont turn the ball over, we should be alright.

1/3/2009 5:00:03 PM

i like the way we are beating it down into the paint, as long as our guys are strong with the ball.

Their bigs are no match for ours. But going to fells isnt a bad idea as long as he doesnt just throw shit up at the rim

1/3/2009 5:00:10 PM

haha I suppose that bears repeating

lets hope they can keep it up and see how Sid handles whatever halftime adjustments Donovan is going to throw at us

so far, this is the team I knew we could be, maybe things are finally starting to gel....

Yeah because what we have been doing hasn't been working today

Credit to Lowe for having the guys ready to play this game.

Also, great coaching move to have Costner re-enter the game before we dug ourselves a hole. Credit to Costner for logging a lot of minutes without picking up his third personal too.

I like how our offense is being patient and getting long possessions. If we can reduce the amount of possessions in this game and continue to draw fouls when we go inside we may be able to hang on. We will need to hit a few threes and not choke down the stretch when they pressure the basketball.

I don't think Florida can possibly shoot any worse than that. They missed a boatload of open jumpers.

We need this victory badly.

Ronald steele must have 12 years of eligibility.

^^ Because this is the only game in the season, right? Florida has played awfully. Good teams usually have 3 main scoring options, which we will need in ACC play.

Fells is the key to the season, but he is still not used to being a focal point on offense.

Sounds like Degand. That's what he tries to do a LOT. Shit gets old and usually doesn't end with a positive outcome.

1/3/2009 5:06:43 PM

glad to see we're up 10... lets hope we can hold it in the 2nd half. i expect florida to up the intensity on defense and the press.. we've had some trouble against the press already..

lets go pack!

1/3/2009 5:08:21 PM

^^how the fuck would degand get in there and dunk over their big men?

1/3/2009 5:09:29 PM

im just hoping we win. Don't care by how much. We usually have one good half followed by, or pre-empted by a really shitty half

1/3/2009 5:10:37 PM

ESPN says that we are up 8. Did one bucket get takin away?

1/3/2009 5:11:12 PM

Rebounds:

NCSU: 18
UF: 12

Free Throws:

NCSU: 3/7
UF: 5/7

free throws need to pick up. Rebounding is quite nice

1/3/2009 5:14:14 PM

harris makes 1/2

1/3/2009 5:15:22 PM

what in thu

1/3/2009 5:16:58 PM

our free throw shooting is..........hrm

1/3/2009 5:17:37 PM

mccauley deserves the airball chant for that shit.. damn

1/3/2009 5:17:55 PM

oh lord here we go

1/3/2009 5:21:36 PM

christ guys.......its as easy as dribbling the ball before you take a step

1/3/2009 5:21:42 PM

wtf is sid doing. should have called a timeout two possessions ago. this calathes is getting out of control.

1/3/2009 5:21:44 PM

Let the florida come back begin...

1/3/2009 5:21:49 PM

two mental slips in a row

that is very bad

and boom goes the momentum

1/3/2009 5:21:54 PM

kalathes is making all these white boy shots on us

1/3/2009 5:22:33 PM

we need to take the game back

was there ever a doubt that UF wouldn't come out aggressive?


now we have to hope that Sid can get something big out of this timeout

1/3/2009 5:24:39 PM

Well fuck me!

1/3/2009 5:26:29 PM

ughhh.. and here it goes.. we can't handle the press

1/3/2009 5:26:32 PM

florida is taking it to our ass now. Our minds are somewhere else

1/3/2009 5:26:47 PM

I see Sidney's comments during the tv timeout worked well Tim..haha

1/3/2009 5:26:48 PM

1/3/2009 5:26:57 PM

goddamn, we better pull it together or this fucking game is done

1/3/2009 5:26:58 PM

simonn Harris

1/3/2009 5:27:22 PM

We've got a real knack for letting one man beat us.

Whether its Curry, Calathes, Diaz, etc

1/3/2009 5:27:47 PM

fells tweaked his ankle on that last one

1/3/2009 5:29:10 PM

ENERGY

FLORIDA

GLORIA

1/3/2009 5:29:19 PM

i have NEVER seen a team SO FUCKING CARELESS with the ball. ITS THE POINT OF THE FUCKING GAME. if you don't have the ball, you're not gonna win

1/3/2009 5:29:20 PM

Yarrrrr... it didn't take long to make the game frustrating.

1/3/2009 5:29:27 PM

and that's why fells will never be as good as we all think he should. its not because he doesn't hustle or apply himself etc. it's because he's just stupid.

1/3/2009 5:29:32 PM

We need to be going down low to Costner and McCauley every possession right now. And Smith too if he stops blowing his layups.

1/3/2009 5:30:28 PM

the problem is no one on the team knows how to throw an entry pass

1/3/2009 5:31:30 PM

EPIC MATCHUP! COSTNER vs WERNER!!!!

1/3/2009 5:31:37 PM

we need a REAL pg bad.

1/3/2009 5:31:39 PM

Mays is too much of a liability in this environment he needs to find a spot on the bench. Horner can join him we can't have a complete zero out there on offense right now.

1/3/2009 5:32:02 PM

clutch three

1/3/2009 5:33:03 PM

our guys need to be able to beat their defenders and get open too, it's not all on the inbound guy

1/3/2009 5:33:06 PM

fells is screwing up the press break. he needs to pass out of there.

1/3/2009 5:33:21 PM

thank you costner.


now if someone could drive the middle, we'd be open for a kick out pass, or a dump down to one of our bigs...
