Very poor offensive strategy in the second half ( almost none). Their defense did a good job of letting us get to the baseline and trapping us and we seemingly couldn’t figure out how to get the ball inside without being totally trapped. Give them some credit for taking away what was working in the first half, very poor adjustments by us on the offense. Was looking a little Mike Whiteish not gonna lie.
Sorry guys, I did it again. Home game against Kentucky and now the A&M game. Only two games I’ve been able to watch all season, and it’s my fault we lost.
felt like we were consciously objecting to driving to the basket or getting it to the big guys inside. settled for a lot of jump shots, though some of them were good shots that just weren't made. dribbled out the shot clock and jacked up 3's at the end of the clock too many times when we had chances to extend the lead
exactly. do get how we watch them drive to the basketball and get foul calls just about every time then decide to just sit back and shoot jumpers. seems like when we did go inside it ended with a dunk or layup more often than not
Such an unnecessary loss. How can everybody have cold shooting at the same time?
But, it did seem like the refs were in the tank for ATM. a machine they know well apparently.
This was a win that somehow became a loss. Turnovers were the main issue. 14 for the Gators and 6 for A&M.
And god damnit, 55% from the foul line. Thats pathetic. MAKE YOUR FUCKING FREE THROWS. It’s so easy to practice. It’s so fucking simple. Stand at the 15 foot line and shoot. No one is guarding you. Shoot 100 foul shots per day. Every day. Shooting less than 55% from the foul line is why this team lost.
MAKE YOUR FUCKING FOUL SHOTS. It’s free points, god damnit.
I don’t blame officials. I think it’s cheap and sore loser nonsense to blame the refs. The refs didn’t make the Gators shoot 54.5% from the foul line.
54.5% from the foul line is pathetic.
Didn’t intend to blame the officials, just pointing out the percentage didn’t impact the game like the original commenter suggested. I’d argue not getting to the line more was the issue.
I swear to God, I don't ever wanna hear about ANALYTICS and Todd F'ing Golden ever again. He has no clue what he is doing in situations. Dude is purely an average coach. Thanks again, Strick.
Refs were.. Atrocious
However this was on Golden.
We had 40 at the half and somehow scored 26 the second. Never even reached the Bonus because we fucking took the foot off the gas .... Again
I hate analytics.. Fing hate it
Makes you sound smart but only shows how ignorant you are.
I'm usually a 'pumper' but Golden has not impressed me outside the talent he's acquired
Losses like this erase wins like KY to the selection board
No
Our half sets are actually pretty fing good. Look at the passing to the open man in the first half. Was beautiful and had me thinking if we sneak in to the tourney .. We're gonna break some hearts
Then 2 minutes before the half, we handcuff ourselves and play hero ball at the last second.
If we attack.. We can play with anyone anywhere
If we don't... We are barely average
Please investigate these refs as well, we obviously got the ball back but there’s no good reason you don’t see a player right in front of you calling a TO
Yeah without a doubt. I’m also of the opinion that refs intentionally make incorrect calls because they know how hard it is to overturn them, especially with these shit cameras
with sports betting becoming so prevalent its hard not to be suspicious when someone is that adamant about a team winning from a neutral judgement position.
Man that was beyond pitiful.. I don’t understand why we can’t always play hard? Is it really that hard, all A&M does is play hard and we just jog around everywhere because we are “more talented”
Why did we just play Mike White basketball in the second half? This was an awful game by Golden you have to keep being aggressive against a team like Texas A&M
No, but he can get them to run an offense. Zone offense isn't difficult. But we played into it. Held the ball too long and chucked up 3s with tired legs
I have seen some bad games by officials but this one was the worst. I mean this is HS JV level bad. I’ve seen better officiating in 8U Flag Football. These guys didn’t see a call to make against TAMU almost the entire last 10 minutes.
We say this after almost every game. Not to say anyone’s wrong about it, because damn, we seemingly never get a favorable whistle. These games lately have been something else
Worst officiating ive seen in years, and i watched a ton of sports. we lose by 1 and had like 10 bad calls go against us in the last 10 minutes as A&M lived at the line.
Yeah a bunch of other people are saying how bad we played and ignore the fact that we couldn’t play the game at all. We couldn’t drive because we would get hacked. Even the Kugel dunk should have been and one at the line.
If you get taken completely out of anything that resembles your game and forced to eat elbows and whistles, you look bad. You play bad. You lose the game. We had double digit blocks and could have gotten 10 more had it not been for the refs.
ATM didn’t win that game, Florida lost it. Just pathetic shooting. Not sure why pullin felt like he had to shoot a 3 there. He could have come in 5 feet
Honestly it’s tough to sit through a college basketball game. Just a low quality product on both sides.
Both teams were desperately trying to lose that game.
Damn we are really gonna miss the tourney again lol. Then everyone is gonna say it’s fine and that we just need to give the staff another 2 years to get acclimated.
Blame the refs all we want but our players consistently messed up on the court. Fouling nonstop, losing possessions, and weird shot selection is not the coach’s fault.
We took transfers from UC Riverside and Iona and while we may win a big game here and there, it is not a recipe for success in the SEC.
That ref just went fishing for anything close to swing it against UF. Like yeah it’s close but it doesn’t look like it was close to be such an insta-call
It’s amazing that we can defend all of a sudden when the whistle stays in the hand on TAMU possessions. Samuel was fouled down low on the strip too. This game would not be close if the whistles were anywhere near even what they should be.
3 after 3 after 3 after 3. Wtf? Golden doesn't have any plays in the perimeter or in the paint. I'm starting to see this is definitely a coaching problem.
That looked like a good block. This game is painful to watch. The other drive that crossed under the basket and called against Samuel didn’t even touch the TAMU guy. This is hard to watch such a one sided affair that takes all confidence out of the gameplan
This is some of the worst offensive basketball I’ve ever seen. It’s like we are committed to keeping the ball outside of the three point arc for the entire shot clock.
The lack of adjustments is absolutely crazy. We’re not even trying to play slow, we literally can’t create a good shot against a zone defense. It’s ridiculous.
I dont know how this can keep happening week after week. Is it a sign of coaching? Just completely different play styles before and after a large lead.
I’m watching a team that has no off-ball movement and is just trying to milk the shot clock and settle for bad 3’s instead of actually passing the ball to create opportunities like in the first half
Very poor offensive strategy in the second half ( almost none). Their defense did a good job of letting us get to the baseline and trapping us and we seemingly couldn’t figure out how to get the ball inside without being totally trapped. Give them some credit for taking away what was working in the first half, very poor adjustments by us on the offense. Was looking a little Mike Whiteish not gonna lie.
Wasn’t able to catch most of the game, but it seems we got caught with our tail between our legs playing with a lead. Again.
Sad! Many such cases Seriously though why cant we close? Does this team need to watch the speech from Glengarry glenn ross?
Sorry guys, I did it again. Home game against Kentucky and now the A&M game. Only two games I’ve been able to watch all season, and it’s my fault we lost.
Say 5 hail tebows and commit yourself to sitting in a dark closet until we win the tourney and all will be forgiven
They’re called Hail Horfords when it’s a basketball game.
Glad there’s some personal accountability around here!
Get your shit together man!
Which game was officiated worse.. this game or Wake Forest game?
That’s a tough one, honestly can’t say
felt like we were consciously objecting to driving to the basket or getting it to the big guys inside. settled for a lot of jump shots, though some of them were good shots that just weren't made. dribbled out the shot clock and jacked up 3's at the end of the clock too many times when we had chances to extend the lead
Literally would have won the game if they had just driven to the basket. Fucking ridiculous.
Agree. Also more frustrating that it’s what A&M did the entire 2H to stay in game. Would have been awesome to throw it back in their face.
exactly. do get how we watch them drive to the basketball and get foul calls just about every time then decide to just sit back and shoot jumpers. seems like when we did go inside it ended with a dunk or layup more often than not
Damn man
While this team has a ton of weapons, we truly don't have "that guy" who can really carry the team through a cold spell.
That sucked.
Such an unnecessary loss. How can everybody have cold shooting at the same time? But, it did seem like the refs were in the tank for ATM. a machine they know well apparently.
If you didn't like that, you don't like Florida Basketball
This was a win that somehow became a loss. Turnovers were the main issue. 14 for the Gators and 6 for A&M. And god damnit, 55% from the foul line. Thats pathetic. MAKE YOUR FUCKING FREE THROWS.

Shooting less than 55% from the foul line is why this team lost. MAKE YOUR FUCKING FOUL SHOTS. It’s free points, god damnit.
I'm not as mad at 6/11 as I am at 11. We were not aggressive and didn't not drive the ball and 11 shows it.
This team is too inconsistent from game to game. Shot 86% from the line against KY and 55% tonight 🤦🏻♂️
I don’t remember them getting to line in the second half.
I don’t blame officials. I think it’s cheap and sore loser nonsense to blame the refs. The refs didn’t make the Gators shoot 54.5% from the foul line. 54.5% from the foul line is pathetic.
Didn’t intend to blame the officials, just pointing out the percentage didn’t impact the game like the original commenter suggested. I’d argue not getting to the line more was the issue.
It wasn’t intended to be an assumption about you. I’m just frustrated this team can’t make 60% of its foul shots
While I somewhat agree and Florida shot themselves in the foot. No way you can say that 2nd half officiating wasn’t a problem
We left the building to go get chickfila during halftime
I swear to God, I don't ever wanna hear about ANALYTICS and Todd F'ing Golden ever again. He has no clue what he is doing in situations. Dude is purely an average coach. Thanks again, Strick.
Tbh average is still better than mike white We're stuck in limbo until billy gets tired of his NBA adventure
Missed shots and turnovers....Ugh they played rough there. Bad ending and bad performance
We have not beaten A&M since February of 2020. That’s embarrassing
A&M mucks the game up everytime
What the fuck was that
Refs were.. Atrocious However this was on Golden. We had 40 at the half and somehow scored 26 the second. Never even reached the Bonus because we fucking took the foot off the gas .... Again I hate analytics.. Fing hate it Makes you sound smart but only shows how ignorant you are. I'm usually a 'pumper' but Golden has not impressed me outside the talent he's acquired Losses like this erase wins like KY to the selection board
Our half court sets are trash, except when we back cut. BLOBs trash.
No Our half sets are actually pretty fing good. Look at the passing to the open man in the first half. Was beautiful and had me thinking if we sneak in to the tourney .. We're gonna break some hearts Then 2 minutes before the half, we handcuff ourselves and play hero ball at the last second. If we attack.. We can play with anyone anywhere If we don't... We are barely average
You're right. Start great, then tried to take the air out of the ball. Every time we got a lead
Multiple games sadly
Please investigate these refs as well, we obviously got the ball back but there’s no good reason you don’t see a player right in front of you calling a TO
> calling a TO The refs definitely chose not to give us that time out. The replay showed two players, plus Golden, all calling for it.
Yeah without a doubt. I’m also of the opinion that refs intentionally make incorrect calls because they know how hard it is to overturn them, especially with these shit cameras
Same ref who called his foot out
with sports betting becoming so prevalent its hard not to be suspicious when someone is that adamant about a team winning from a neutral judgement position.
Ya but there is no reason these refs should have even mattered
Man that was beyond pitiful.. I don’t understand why we can’t always play hard? Is it really that hard, all A&M does is play hard and we just jog around everywhere because we are “more talented”
Why did we just play Mike White basketball in the second half? This was an awful game by Golden you have to keep being aggressive against a team like Texas A&M
He can’t make the shots himself
No, but he can get them to run an offense. Zone offense isn't difficult. But we played into it. Held the ball too long and chucked up 3s with tired legs
Well, when you miss shots and have turn overs you generally lose.
why the hell did pullin feel the need to step back behind the line and shoot a 3. drive the frickin ball
Pullin lost us this game playing hero ball
Leading scorer by far and most assists lol
never thought i’d see the day
I have seen some bad games by officials but this one was the worst. I mean this is HS JV level bad. I’ve seen better officiating in 8U Flag Football. These guys didn’t see a call to make against TAMU almost the entire last 10 minutes.

You lose the game. We had double digit blocks and could have gotten 10 more had it not been for the refs.
Just lazy and didn’t play like they cared at all
Amazing how in the crucial moments, A&M got the whistle when they needed it
This fucking team. Time to move on to base ball. Jesus.
ATM didn’t win that game, Florida lost it. Just pathetic shooting. Not sure why pullin felt like he had to shoot a 3 there. He could have come in 5 feet
[удалено]
Were you saying that when we beat Kentucky?
God people are so fucking dumb
Lights were too bright lol, hopefully Golden learns a lesson about finishing games from this
There i go again... Believing in Gator basketball just to be let down
That was awful
Maybe we should attack the rim?
No! Pass the ball around the perimeter until the shot clock is ending and jack up a contested three! (What was said in the huddle probably).
That is the worst 2 minute offense I may have ever seen.
Dammit
Honestly it’s tough to sit through a college basketball game. Just a low quality product on both sides. Both teams were desperately trying to lose that game.
100%
Damn we are really gonna miss the tourney again lol. Then everyone is gonna say it’s fine and that we just need to give the staff another 2 years to get acclimated.
Lol everyone should be thrilled about going 1-1 this week
You are gonna be excited about us missing out in March again lmao?
100% this
"why are we the first 4 out" there you fucking go
great look, didn't fall.... fuck the ref$
lol fuck us
May have been refball but inexcusable playing not to lose for weeks in a row. Ridiculous.
Dude just draw a penalty.
Fuuuuuuuuudge that
We got like 3 open shots there. Fucking hate this tamu team
Jump shot after jump shot after jump shot. Zero adjustments when they weren’t falling.
Blame the refs all we want but our players consistently messed up on the court. Fouling nonstop, losing possessions, and weird shot selection is not the coach’s fault. We took transfers from UC Riverside and Iona and while we may win a big game here and there, it is not a recipe for success in the SEC.
My god man
Fucking embarrassing
Crazy how refs gave them all those calls going to basketball when it was clear they couldn’t shoot or run an offense
Possession arrow back to us?!
Good thing he outstupided that whole sequence of events to right the wrong
Why do we always struggle against A&M
Because they play terrorist basketball
Why can’t it ever be easy
“Plenty of time.”
Ball don't lie
Ball don’t lie once again lol
shidding my pants
ball don't like again i guess
absolutely ridiculous.
Two refs just straight ignoring the TO that would have saved our mistake. TAMU just gifts us the ball back haha this game
the$e ref$
Kugel consistently shits all over himself in late game situations good grief. Golden drew up a great play.
He recovered the ball though. It was nowhere near a jump ball
Yes, but he put himself in a situation for the refs to decide. Never should've happened in the first place.
They gave them a time out in the exact same situation
HAHAHA AMAZING
Can’t beat the refs.
These refs SUCK
Very sketchy 2nd half calls by these refs
This motherfucker Radford was arrested yesterday but is still playing today !
What a way to waste an aggressive play.
L O L
“get the ball and then dribble it off your feet”
This better not be a three.
Attack the basket and get some free throws.
22 just throws his elbow out and makes contact and no call. Unbelievable
Bleh.
4D chess from Golden trying to win the game without attempting a field goal. Wonder how it will work out for us.
“He gets space” weird way to say he threw his forearm to create the space
How the hell are you going to keep letting them shove off and call nothing?
Worst play known to man on the way
How does Condon not have his arms up? I swear these guys aren’t that smart
ball don't fucking lie! edit: ball lied 30s later :/
ball dont lie
Jesus
A&M has figured out it’s a better use of their money to directly pay the Conference for wins, rather than paying a bunch of high schoolers to go there
Why do the gators ALWAYS get in this position?
That ref just went fishing for anything close to swing it against UF. Like yeah it’s close but it doesn’t look like it was close to be such an insta-call
I mean the heel is up come on fellas
How do you miss that call on the floor lol
How do you make that call? Just looking to impact the game and be the center of the show
This officiating crew is a joke but we look asleep out there. Bad mix
refball?
the ref show
Yeah we look terrible
These airballs are embarrassing.
Worst kind of basketball to play regardless of team. Just trying to get fouls
We play much better when we try to work it inside.
They are looking for the whistle every possession, and getting it!
Condon needs to learn verticality.
Taylor legit just jumping into defenders lol
It's ridiculous
Wtf how was that a foul
I’ve watched porn that has less dickriding than these refs
Haha. Pullin backed off and got called for a foul. These refs are straight ass
From bad to horrid officiating
We can’t get a call for shit lmao
How was that not a foul on the Kugel dunk?
CBB tie ups are legitimately ridiculous. Like that contact couldn’t have been more than 1 second
How was that Riley dunk not a foul? Smashed into him and bounced 6 feet off of Anchor Arms spawn
Should have been an and1
Kugel!
KUGEL
Aaaand they wasted their final timeout lolz
Need to do a better job preventing these offensive rebounds
poster
Refs see a tall team and decide they can’t be fouled lol
These announcers are interesting to say the least
“Foul on Florida, attempted to play defense against the team we want to win”
Can Kugels dad talk to the refs a minute? I think they would see the game his way
need to get him a seat next to the bench
Haha facts
BALL DONT LIE
How are these refs hosing us way worse than the ones at Rupp?
Bullshit foul
These refs are on crack man
It’s amazing that we can defend all of a sudden when the whistle stays in the hand on TAMU possessions. Samuel was fouled down low on the strip too. This game would not be close if the whistles were anywhere near even what they should be.
So we can only attack the zone off of a drawn up play after a time out.
take it inside. dunk. keep doing it
Hate the way A&M plays as a viewer. Can’t get any interest going because the game stops every 0.5 seconds for a foul
Last time I saw the score we were up by 12. The fuck happened?
Totally powerless against a zone defense.
3 after 3 after 3 after 3. Wtf? Golden doesn't have any plays in the perimeter or in the paint. I'm starting to see this is definitely a coaching problem.
That looked like a good block. This game is painful to watch. The other drive that crossed under the basket and called against Samuel didn’t even touch the TAMU guy. This is hard to watch such a one sided affair that takes all confidence out of the gameplan
Absolutely shocking that they couldn’t shoot jump shots at a 60% clip for a full 40 minutes. But keep chucking.
We gotta adjust to the zone defense. Take more mid range shots guys
Everything is a fucking foul for A&M
2 for 11 shooting 3's this half. meanwhile seems like every possession they drive to the hoop and get fouled. awful
I can not fathom how you can just take your foot off the gas with 15+ mins left in the half. Did we learn nothing from last week’s Georgia game?
This is some of the worst offensive basketball I’ve ever seen. It’s like we are committed to keeping the ball outside of the three point arc for the entire shot clock.
Texas A&M is fucking garbage and this dumbass milk the clock shit has them ahead.
Refs have been real weak
handlogten being a bum against decent teams per usual
Commentators clearly want 1 team to win over the other
The lack of adjustments is absolutely crazy. We’re not even trying to play slow, we literally can’t create a good shot against a zone defense. It’s ridiculous.
^ I don’t think we’re trying to play not to lose, we literally just can’t adjust to the zone
Solid no call on that push off… just shoving players apparently
I dont know how this can keep happening week after week. Is it a sign of coaching? Just completely different play styles before and after a large lead.
So hard to watch this team play with a lead, they play so scared to lose
What are we doing guys???
This is textbook playing not to lose instead of playing to win
Are we watching the same game???
I’m watching a team that has no off-ball movement and is just trying to milk the shot clock and settle for bad 3’s instead of actually passing the ball to create opportunities like in the first half
