FL up 40-37 at the break.

 

[superjohn]

Florida just isn't all that impressive in this tournament.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Tech is good.

 

[Marat]

Florida just isn't all that impressive in this tournament.

Yeah, they wouldn't be the answers to knocking off Duke anyway....

 

[BugsyCT]

TTech up 10 now - FL up against it again

 

[Tommyboy]

gators in serious trouble.

 

[gsmooth]

Danger sign flashing for Florida.

Tech is laying wood on them. Florida is soft and unathletic. We were a really unathletic team this season by our standards and I noticed half way through our game against them that we're more athletic than they are. It reminds me of the Florida team we worked in the final 4 in '14. Great team all season but they're lacking NBA talent.

I did not predict the Tech beatdown of Florida. Wow

 

[superjohn]

That was one of the ugliest ft's I've ever seen.

 

[superjohn]

Tech is just dropping sack on the goofy Florida bigs.

 

[Hurleyman216]

UF is rattled but they can score in a hurry. Clayton seems to not get rattled by anything…

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Tech posts up a lot. @auror would not approve.

 

[BugsyCT]

If Tech plays smart these last 4 minutes, they'll win this. Florida is slow & clunky. We should have finished them.

I don't like the way Florida has played this game. On offense I thought they should've isolated Clayton Jr on Hawkins and run the offense that way. Likewise on defense they allowed Derrion Williams to isolate post up Haugh. Either double, or put Chinyulu on him as Frederico could have been guarded by Haugh. Frederico is not much of an offensive threat.

Man, that Florida cheerleader is attractive.

Epic collapse in progress...

MONSTER misses by Toppin of TWO front ends of a 1-and-1.

 

[superjohn]

Epic collapse in progress...

Yep, Florida gonna get let off the hook again?

 

[Tommyboy]

Big swings in this game.

 

[BugsyCT]

Aaaaand they're bricking their FTs and it's unraveling for TT

 

[boog204]

Florida takes any opening you give them. Clayton is crazy Bazz like.

 

[Dove]

Aaaaand...Clayton!!

MONSTER misses by Toppin of TWO front ends of a 1-and-1.

Toppin only missed one of them. The 84% ft shooter missed the first one.
