Man that’s not fair. I actually think this game proved just how good Coach Miller is. It’s just not a very good team. You can take Pope out but you have to put Wilcher in. Texas has no power forward. Put Heide in or Codie and you’re lucky if you get five points out of them. Heide is in over his head. Coach Miller is doing an excellent job of covering some big holes.

Good call on the game Jeff. Three games to get one win.

Texas seriously has no power forward. They have to play Heide or Codie. You can pull Pope for lazy passes and poor defense, but you have to put Wilcher in. You lose offense by taking Pope out.

Good effort by a limited team, but that defense is historically bad.

Completely agree but that doesn’t explain the slow switches and lazy passes. They were jumping into those passing lanes. I didn’t have Texas winning this game, but you can see what Coach Miller is talking about.

It’s sloppy play mixed in with being tired.

Does Florida get tired?

A lot of it is just laziness. Passes aren’t crisp and they switch slow or not at all.

Ball game.

Man these guys get back slow and throw lazy passes. Codie just gave them two points.

Man it’s a very quiet crowd.

Shots aren’t dropping now.

Codie came in quick.

Exposing Heide on defense.

Matas is gassed.

Nobody there.

Mark makes a three stands up and never ran back to the guy sitting at the three point line. Great shot, but get back.

I agree, Matas just needs to play more basketball.

They are in the 100-200 range on defense. How do you get that bad? That’s out of over 300+ D1 schools. At least be around eighty.

I will also add that I am looking for fight from the players. Don’t just lay down at the start. Coach Miller has already alluded to pulling players that don’t start off the game right.

Maybe they think it’s a football rematch.

Texas has no defense. They win when they are shooting well and find a way to be at least average on defense. The current team will not step up and be consistent for the rest of the season on defense. When a coach has to talk about over and over it means they can’t do it. Florida is excellent at positions Texas is the weakest at. Matas can’t handle their forwards and centers. He doesn’t have the quickness to stay in front of them. He’s slow to rotate to begin with. He’s still learning the game so based off that he is doing very well. This is not something he’s ready for. defensively. Texas has no power forward so good luck with that. Texas still has the punchers chance though. If they light it up from three and Florida just has one of those nights where the ball just won’t go in they can win. I hope they win, but I am not expecting that to happen. I will watch and root for them though. Also Texas crowd doesn’t get that loud anymore anyway. It’s not like Texas has a sizable home court advantage. They cheer on dunks and when the game is close and it’s winning time. Texas is still building in all phases. Hoping for the best.

I don’t know why, but I love when Coach Miller says this. After the Georgia loss. "This is probably the worst defensive team that I've ever had. ... It's disappointing because it's one of the best offensive teams. We get very little help on defense."

I don’t think he can, but I would love to be wrong.

Horrible game.
