gatortalk: January 2016

Sunday, January 31, 2016

Re: [gatortalk] did anyone else notice...

From what I saw, it seemed like the confrontation was closer to the basket rather than in the middle. However, it honestly didn't seem like it was a big deal. More like guys jawing at each other than fisticuffs. Of course you know that you see more on TV than when you are at the game .

What it looked like on TV was the WV team was in a huddle and then started moving over the center line and Doe Doe didn't like that. It seem sped to be a pretty bush league move, but not sure what else to expect from a Bob Huggins coached team.

In any case, it sure fired up our team, I think WV thought they would be able to come in and intimidate us with their antics, didn't work. Scoreboard!

No, I agree completely with you, and to add insult to injury was Leon's concussion at Vandy didn't get a foul call either. I doubt the refs would have been so generous when our players throw elbows.

…that it appears part of WV's defensive philosophy is elbows to the nose and forearm shivers. I think there should have been 2 ejections, but the refs just let 'em play dirty. I was not pleased and am surprised it's not getting more attention.

RE: [gatortalk] did anyone else notice...

Yes, WV players stomped on our logo before game and our players were more energized from that action to start the game on fire and never really slowed down the 1^st half leading by 15. Even when we lost 2 guys on fouls the others played so well WV could not stop the Gators. They were confused. At one point they closed the gap to 4 points but Gators kept hitting 3's to win and great defense against the press. Great game to watch! GO GATORS!

Bludgeoning of No. 9 West Virginia gives new Gators coach some credibility in post-Donovan era
Mike Bianchi

GAINESVILLE — Ron Zook had it tough following Steve Spurrier.
Will Muschamp had it tough following Urban Meyer.
But make no mistake about it, Mike White has the toughest job in University of Florida history following Billy Donovan.
This is why Gator historians need to mark down this date as the 30th of January in the Year 1 A.D. (After Donovan) and annotate it as the day White began to emerge from beneath the enormous, eclipsing shadow of his legendary predecessor.
This wasn't just a dominating 88-71 victory over No. 9 West Virginia on Saturday in front a full house at the rowdy reptilian pavilion otherwise known as the O'Connell Center, this might very well go down as the program-propelling victory White needs to make himself and his team relevant in the post-Billy era of Florida basketball.
"I think this is huge for Coach White as far as his credibility," said Schuyler Rimmer, the 6-foot-10 Boone High product who came off the bench and gave Florida a jolt of emotion and physicality in the victory over a West Virginia team known for pressuring, badgering and intimidating opponents. "This shows people what he's capable of."
People like Gator fans, star recruits and members of the NCAA selection committee who all sit in judgment waiting to see what becomes of the program Billy built. That's why this victory was so big for White: Because it might just be the victory — Florida's first against a team with a top 25 RPI rating — that ends up getting the Gators (14-7, 5-3 in the SEC) into the NCAA Tournament.
And, don't kid yourself, Mike White needs to be in the NCAA Tournament so national recruits can begin to know who he is. Right now, they don't know Mike White from his brother Danny White, the new athletics director at UCF.
They don't know he is a young, charismatic, exciting coach whose team plays basketball like Kyle Busch drives a stock car — with the pedal to the metal and his hair on fire. They don't know he was lauded for his four years at Louisiana Tech, where he won the regular-season conference title his final three seasons.
The reason they don't know is because White has never coached a team to the NCAA Tournament. And if you haven't been to the NCAA Tournament, you are invisible in college basketball.
"This is a really big win," White said. "This is a step [toward getting into the NCAA Tournament] for sure, but this doesn't guarantee anything."
When Donovan left after last season to become the head coach of theNBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, he took the guarantees with him. The Gators could pretty much punch their ticket for the NCAA Tournament most every year during Donovan's 19 seasons. And all Donovan had to do was express interest in a big-time recruit like Jabari Parker or Julius Randle and the Gators would immediately be on the player's list of top five schools.
This is why I say White has it much tougher than Zook or Muschamp. In football, the Gators have the fan support, resources, commitment and recruiting base to stay relevant —-- or at least get back to relevance very quickly.
In football, the program is bigger than the coach. In basketball, Donovan was bigger than the program. Donovan was an elite coach at UF, but did he leave an elite program behind?
The Gators finished 16-17 and didn't make the tournament in Donovan's final season. White's challenge is to make sure Gator basketball doesn't sink back to what it was before Donovan arrived two decades ago; back to the days when NCAA Tournament appearances were rare and NIT victories were celebrated.
His first significant victory on Saturday was a nice start. The Gators shot West Virginia out of the gym, hitting 12-of-20 treys and scoring more points than West Virginia has given up all season. West Virginia had been beating opponents by an average of 18 points per game and, yet, the Gators blew out the Mountaineers by 17.
"We needed a big win," said Florida's Dorian Finney-Smith, who led all scorers with 24 points.
This wasn't just a big win; it was Mike White's signature win at a program that still has Billy Donovan's name all over it.

Re: [gatortalk] did anyone else notice...

What it looked like on TV was the WV team was in a huddle and then started moving over the center line and Doe Doe didn't like that. It seem sped to be a pretty bush league move, but not sure what else to expect from a Bob Huggins coached team.

In any case, it sure fired up our team, I think WV thought they would be able to come in and intimidate us with their antics, didn't work. Scoreboard!

Maybe Sandy, Jeff or Helen, who all saw it live can comment more. They showed it during the game coverage at least three or four times. It looked they bumped Doe Doe, who did not appreciate their antics. I've never seen that happen during a Gator BB game.

There was a little spat before the game started, too. It was mentioned on Sportcenter. WVU players dancing on our logo? Did anyone see it?

No, I agree completely with you, and to add insult to injury was Leon's concussion at Vandy didn't get a foul call either. I doubt the refs would have been so generous when our players throw elbows.

…that it appears part of WV's defensive philosophy is elbows to the nose and forearm shivers. I think there should have been 2 ejections, but the refs just let 'em play dirty. I was not pleased and am surprised it's not getting more attention.

I saw the beginnings of a pregame scuffle.

There was a little spat before the game started, too. It was mentioned on Sportcenter. WVU players dancing on our logo? Did anyone see it?
