Florida post game thread

I keep reading posts about people being upset. No one likes to lose but if you're not happy that we won back to back titles, you're not paying attention.

It sucks, yeah, but UConn will be back. We've got a great class coming in and there's still the transfer portal.

You can't win em all, but truthfully, we've won more than our fair share.

I will feel bad for the Gators if they don't win a title.

We have a great program and Hurley will do his thing to get us back to the top.

Now I can be more productive at work.
 
Thought Diarra was excellent, good mins from Aiden as well. It’s tough to win if you can’t make open shots and this team seemed to miss a lot of open shots and layups all year, last years team never really missed an easy bucket. LM is not ready for the NBA.
 
This is what I saw:

1. 2 evenly matched teams
2. UConn playing better than Florida and controlling the game
3. Florida heaving off balance 3s 6 for 9 for clayton
4. With a minute and 30 seconds left, Karajan drove one in one and was fouled hard, but there was no call, ensuing 3 pointer from Florida and fouls called had UConn chasing the lead desperately

Whatever you say, game changed in the non call to an obvious foul on Karabans drive
 
Wish it was going to be more, but glad to see Johnson & Diarra play well in their last UConn games.
Now to my anyone but 'Duke' mindset. I'll throw in Arkansas too, but I can't stand Calipari.
Hope there's a chance that AK comes back, but if he doesn't... thanks AK, Hassan and SJ for leaving all out on the floor.
 
Proud of the fight! The team put it all out there. Some lapses down the stretch. Not sure why we didn't take it to their center (foul trouble). All I wanted was effort, they gave it all.

Karaban's reverse is what did it. No need for that, just go straight up.

Surely it wasnt the eight dunks we gave up, the ten or so missed wide open 3s, the six fast break points we left on the table, the complete lack of rebounding in the last five minutes....yeah it was that particular AK play.

We didn't play our A game, but for 30 minutes we played better defensively than we did all season and we just melted down on both ends of the court in the last 5.
 
I guess it would have been easier to take if they wiped our buts. But, we gave it away is what hurts. Thank you seniors and good luck !

Same story all year long - could not make open shots. Its not enough to get good shots, at some point you have to MAKE those shots. Ball, McNeeley, and Karaban combined 6-26 from three. Most of them good looks. You have to make those shots, simple as that.
 
Well it played out almost as well as I could have hoped. UConn did everything strategically perfect.

The loss came down to four things.

1) missed fastbreaks
2) missed open threes
3) missed rebounds
4) stellar shot making from Clayton at the end

Games like this show me how good we have it to have Hurley as the coach with his assistants. They set up an excellent strategy and made great calls almost all game. That team UConn lost to just motorboated the SECs best all year.

It’s a shame that UConns beat shooters just couldn’t hit any open shot all game long. Sometimes that’s just the way the ball bounces.
 
I'm sure the trolls will come out in droves, because that's what we do here.

Reality check? We lost a ton of pieces after winning two titles. We had a couple of recruiting misses. We knew this team was deeply flawed going into the tourney and still held out own against the one-seed.

Sign me up for our floor being a top-50 team winning a games or two in March.

I'm proud of this team. They left it all on the floor.

On another note…Dave Portnoy probably hates us right now because who knows how much $$ he lost taking FL to beat the spread
 
Tough end to a season. Hurley coached an amazing game. We gave us a chance to win, and that's all we can ask for.

At some point, we have to make shots. We had chances to extend the lead but didn't execute. We missed many open 3s.

No doubt UConn will be better next year. Have faith in Hurley and the coaching staff to put together another championship level team.

Let's go Huskies!

I love the effort. They played their best defensive game of the season. Executed really well on offense.

Just so dissapointing they predominantly lost this game due to 2 factors:

1. Missing so many open looks all over the floor, predominantly from 3, something they're usually really good at.

2. Defensive rebounding, which they have been inconsistent at.

Love the team. Just dissapointed that it was a game to be had, should have been a win, and the 3-Peat that looked possible if we got past UF is over.

Florida may go onto win the title but all these CBB writers and talking heads that are comparing them to last year's UConn team are crazy. I even saw Dauster calling back to Hurley's bulletproof comments from last year, they're not like that.

I think that’s already been factually impossible seeing they beat an 8 seed by 2 and they have 4 losses already.
