We have to have the worst basketball IQ of any team in America.  I knew we wouldn’t score on that last possession - we never do - but to be stupid enough to commit our 400th turnover and give Florida a chance, I mean there’s no excuse for how we play.

Most underrated aspect of Beilein's manic approach to coaching was fundamentals... and now we see why. This team looks like they've never run a 3-man weave at times.

Florida is physical on the boards. Something we are going to need to match if we are gonna stay with the gators. Also, the turnovers we have committed are of the sloppy play variety, which must be eliminated to contend tonight. Gator TO’s are from setting screens, driving to the rim, pushing play. Still, this is anybody’s game which is surprising given that ESPN hardly recognizes we have a team and keeps heaping praise on Florida. I guess ESPN bias going forward doesn’t need to be hidden but right out in the open.

Year 5 and I still don’t know what Juwan’s teams identity is. It’s not shooting, it’s not defense, it’s not rebounding, it’s not fundamentals, it’s not max effort.

I said this last year and it doesn’t seem to have gotten better but Reed needs the equivalent of a jugs machine that just repetitively throws balls at him. He’s almost unplayable with those stone mits.

That turnover by Terrence Williams was the worst I’ve ever seen.  Dribble into the corner, leave your feet to pass, and chuck it across court. You don’t see that at the college level.

We gotta value the rock every possession and try to get high percentage shots. Not this running the clock down to only make a TO. Get good shots. Ohhh, and try to stalemate them on the board. Be nice

Another thing with Juwan is his substitution patterns, he plays his guys really long stretches before he subs anyone out. By the time some of them head to the bench they’ve played 12-13 minutes
