The th...Well said about the basketball team, Heath. The thing I'm getting most frustrated about is the perpetual excuse-making that UF fans are making abut this team being so young. Exactly how many games do you have to play to no longer be young and inexperienced? 50? 75? The fact is, this team has about the same level of game experience from its nucleus that the 05-06 team. That team's core was mostly sophomores with a couple of upperclassment in support roles. Granted, the talent level, especially in the frontcourt, doesn't even compare, but nobody was making excuses for that team being so young once it became clear that they were good. This team is good and should be in the tournament. If they fail to make it because they can't rebound, show an interior defensive presence, or play dumb basketball as you noted, then they will end up back in the NIT and be Billy's biggest disappointment at Florida. It would really do them a lot of good to knock somebody on their butt driving to the hole early in one of these games coming up. They get pushed around a lot and they need to push back, even if it means flirting with that line of clean play. Tyus has made progress on offense, but whether they like it or not, Tyus and Warner have to be those guys. Really makes you appreciate guys like Haslem and Horford when they were here. That's what's missing from this team.Jeremiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15860192540513088663noreply@blogger.com
