Re: [gatortalk] Check 1 2 Check

Unfortunately and I do mean that, over the past several years I have completely lost interest in basketball and baseball. It's funny but as a youth basketball and baseball were my best participant sports and football my worst. I pretty much stick to football watching these days but I always check the Gators score and want them to win every game.

Mary,

 

The only basketball I watch are the Gators and then only occasionally.  Being overweight, vertically challenged, and a poster boy for white men can't jump I was always more suited for football.  Because of these factors, I just never really got into basketball, so when I watch it is purely as a supporter because unlike football, where when I see a cover two zone or an unbalanced line I know what should happen for the most part, when I see 1-3-1 zone in basketball I have no idea if the point guard is suppose to dribble penetrate and kick it out to the wing or setup for a set play off the pick and roll.  I basically just watch and cheer if we make a shot, get a steal or get a rebound, otherwise I figure the outcome is not so good.  I will say I think this squad plays team basketball in that there does not seem to be a dominant individual, the sum of the parts is greater than the whole as individuals.

For me, basketball is a very unpleasant viewing experience.  I get so emotionally involved with every missed shot, made shot, bad call, momentum swing, that I would rather record a game and then watch it AFTER I know the outcome.  That being said, I LOVE this team.  I love the fact that we have four seniors who have worked their butts off to become exceptional players, and that experience shows in all the close wins we've had this season.  They don't panic, they actually rely on their coach to refocus their efforts during a game.  It's pretty special.  

 

The expectations may be unreasonable for the tourney, but I doubt this team will exit the tourney because of losing composure.  They have shown a constant ability to improve whatever needs to be improved in their game (hello improving FT % to 78+!).  

 

I'll enjoy this ride, the winning streaks, and a win at Rupp as long as it lasts.

 

Mary

Anybody home or did everyone take President's day off?

 

I know I know we are a football school and it is the off season, but where are our round ball guys and gals?
