One more win. This is the last year of this cycle. Time to raise the ceiling. Too bad CU is cursed and something sad and awful will happen to prevent that. Marquette gonna turn us over 30 times
As I've told a few of their fans (some of whom make bugeater fans look normal), the only thing worse than the officiating in that game yesterday was Florida's defense.The non-working whistle was part of it (there is a 2nd story on Clayton, if you scroll down. He scored their last 16 - hell of a player):

Yea he didn’t extend at all. Funniest thing is all the Florida brass acting like all the calls went against them. This is the headline on Floridas website.My youngest sent me some still shots of KJ’s shot. Two things: he never extended his arm and he never made contact with the guy’s chest. The guy was anticipating a drive and was leaning back to begin with and more or less fell back on his own.

Yea dude. It's march.
We got the 1st game
No ****. I think we have about as good a chance to get to the second weekend as we've ever had. Marquette's another good matchup.Yea dude. It's march.
His call of the game winner blew Mark Johnson's out of the water.Kevin Harlan on the call again. The absolute best play by play out there. Love it
Was stoked to see it.Kevin Harlan on the call again. The absolute best play by play out there. Love it

Man, you are a master of your craft.I've told a few of them that some of the fouls they got were the result of the officials' surprise that they actually tried to play defense.
Florida was literally the worst defensive team I've sat and watched in probably 5 years.
Sure thing, golden bitch. Sure, KJ created seven feet of separation. Iif Tad threw a temper tantrum with every bad call your way you would have won.The non-working whistle was part of it (there is a 2nd story on Clayton, if you scroll down. He scored their last 16 - hell of a player):

Hilarious to hear our opponents complain about our seeding after weeks of being told that we don't even deserve a bid. Florida had the advantage of extra prep and rest and still lost. We have never been given the benefit of the doubt despite our top 25 NET and Kenpom. Until they actually have to play us.I liked this comment:
Yep, it was a ****ty seeding.
And McElwain was humping a shark, not a dolphin (if memory serves)technically that’s a croc

Just rewatched the whole game. Almost as intense the 2nd time through. We should have had that iced at the under-4 timeout. It's as simple as not turning the ball over and making your FTs. We didn't and they had a headband guy. KJ was so damn clutch.
It felt like they tried to milk the clock too much instead of staying aggressive. I get the strategy but there were a few times they had numbers down the stretch where I wish they attackedJust rewatched the whole game. Almost as intense the 2nd time through.

Espn is contractually required to support the sec - reality be damned.ESPN Top Headlines for Saturday. Is this really the game narrative they want to push? After looking at the replays KJ was correct.

I've been thinking about this alot the last month or so as our rotation got tighter when Cody went down. The conventional wisdom is you want 8-9 guys, but that's not always the case, depending on conditioning and skill sets. If I've got 4-5 starters that can play basically the whole game without getting tired, and I think they are better than your starters, why not keep the rotation limited (foul trouble not withstanding.) Coaches have 13 guys on scholarship and feel like they have to play most of them, to keep them happy so they don't become a moral issue or leave.Still on cloud 9 after yesterdays game rewatched the extended highlights and the post game today…
This team has surpassed all my expectations for this year, everything is gravy at this point. Absolutely love this teams resilience and fight. Crazy we’ve really been doing this with a 6 man rotation kind of reminds me of the year North Carolina had a 5 or 6 man rotation two years ago and made that run to the chip. Very unique.
Buffs made it harder on themselves than they needed to. Didn't have a problem with spreading things out and killing some clock near the end but it all comes down to the lead and the number of possessions needed to overcome it.Just rewatched the whole game.

Between TOs and giving up way too many offensive rebounds, we're making these games much harder than they should be. It's not sustainable to allow opponents 10+ shots more than you and to keep beating good teams.I’ve been thinking about this team. First off, I don’t think they are constructed like the Nuggets and I don’t think they have a player anywhere near as talented relative to level of competition as Joker is, but with Eddie (and LOB?) seemingly having hit another gear within the last week or so, they really have so many different ways to adjust and beat the other team. They can win a track meet (yesterday) or a rock fight (Boise and WSU). I know the margins get super thin this time of year, but I hope they have enough to keep showing this off for at least another couple of games.
Edit- I will say that the number of ways that they can beat a team extends to themselves- their biggest flaw (that I see) is the huge number of turnovers.
Burning the clock is the right move, especially against a team that can score in bunches like Florida.Things that happend after the under 4 that resulted in the game coming down to the wire
1. Missed FTs
2. 3 Turnovers
3. 2 possessions giving up a layup in <10 seconds (plus a really cheap and-one against LOB on one of these)
4. Clayton getting ridiculously hot
There were 3 possessions where they burned clock, got a layup from KJ, a missed 3 from KJ, and KJ missed jumper / O-board / 1/2 FTs; IMHO, 3 points on 3 possessions that burned almost half of what was left on the clock is not really worth adding to that list.
Burning the clock always feels uneasy, but it's the right move. Even with almost everything else going right for Florida down the stretch it worked out.
I think both teams played pretty damn close to their offensive best.
I suspect that UF's coach didn't quite have a good enough scoring report - he really had no idea that our offensive best was so good.
Coaches can't scout and watch every game, or every conference. And if you're a coach in the eastern time zone, you simply will not have seen many of the Western time zone teams play, so you rely on scouting reports to tell you what you need to know.
On the one hand, I would say his scouting report was deficient. On the other hand, I would say his scouting report led to a game plan that was well within any reasonable margin of error of creating a win, so .
