The Matchup: Florida vs Houston For A National Title

Lj cryer trying to score under the basket with two centers there was dumb because Coogs had a 1 pt lead under a minute. That out of bounds play is a bogus call too on LJ. Never heard of that. They say when the pass was made he was stepping out of bounce but when he catch it he was wayyy in bounce. Like he needs to reestablish being inbounds again wtf lol

Their size bother UH offense last night especially in the last 3 minutes.

Ljs out of bounds turnover was with 3 minutes on the clock

His getting blocked by the big was not a great play… but I think he was trying to draw the whistle… I can live with that

I get you are trying to defend your fave… but the timing of sharps were disastrous… and if he had shot it and missed … I’d have lived with it, not even getting the shot up is disappointing

The last shot was terrible but it was bad team offensive execution that even lead to that terrible shot attempt…

LJ leaving his feet and handing the ball to Florida was equally bad… it just wasn’t the last play.

The play where $harp had the defender collapse and strip him was just a great defensive play and a bad break on the ball rolling off of $harp.

All in all the entire offense just didn’t execute down the stretch…

I also thought the last blocking penalty on Tugler to send Martin to the line was weak… I thought he got to his spot before him and went vertical…

Stop the cap… no it wasnt, Sampson him self talked about it yesterday

1 shot fake and he would have been wide open…
it was a bad play? No it wasn’t

The unfortunate part of the strip play sure was bouncing off his legs … but why was he getting stripped at all with 30secs to go

He was trying to dribble on a double team

Yeah… I’m sure CKS wrote up a play to bring 4 Coogs to the top of the perimeter at the same time and then have Sharp sprint from under the basket to shoot a turnaround 3…

No cap… you’re wrong.

You trying to tell me that’s what CKS wanted…

Becuase you know more than Sampson?!?

And that was actually the plan… watch Sampson post game… it was a setup iso … he noted he also had a clear path to the lane . It was a set up iso that gave him the option to shoot or drive , to pull everyone to one side and leave sharp alone with his defender on the other

I get it you love sharp… but what a terrible take

Both lj and Sampson noted, that not shot faking was the issue not the play…

I’m sure he wanted Milos to dribble into a trap and have everyone in the same spot…

Send me the clip where CKS said that…

Check out the comments by Jay Williams and Jay Bilas on the ESPN. Both called out the refs for such a poorly officiated game. Williams correctly pointed out that the first half was called like a UFC fight and the second half like a ballet (touch fouls). True.

FT’s got Florida back into the game when we’re up by 12. Yes, we didn’t execute down the stretch, but the refs also allowed Florida to hand check our guards when they pressed. They also allowed Florida to continue their physicality against Roberts, making it hard for him to score.

After a really physical first half, the refs called 3 touch fouls on Francis in a span of 10 seconds that sent him to the bench. That sequence of fouls was horrendous. Meanwhile, it put Florida in the bonus with around 12 minutes left in the game, making it a FT shooting contest. No, we didn’t hit all of our free throws, but this disrupted the flow of the game and limited our aggressiveness on the defensive end.

Again, we failed to execute down the stretch so it wasn’t all on the refs. However, the inconsistency of how the game was officiated can’t be denied.

We played intense and aggressive defense but those guys last were playing dirty with their secret shoves of our players.

It’s the post game, it’s on YouTube

He spoke that sharp needed to realize that a 2 was okay… and he had cleared a lane for him!!

Stop it I guarantee you don’t know more ball than Sampson

You really think he didn’t want LJ shooting the last shot… but it just got shutdown so Sharp scrambling out to what looked like an open 3 got closed out on perfectly…

You really think CKS drew up a pump fake that wasn’t executed… Stahp!

I thought we held Clayton in check, but he still found a way to beat us. Hats off to Florida. We just needed a 2, thought we could have driven around bigs on perimeter and dished to Francis under the goal.

No!!! Walter is their worst defender … we don’t give it to the star… we give it to matchups we like … this is how it’s been all year

Even if Walter didn’t bite on the shot fake, sharp had a weight advantage to muscle his way to the post

You post are insinuating that Samson is dumb… so we told lj and all our other players to stand on one side of the court close together… and had sharp stand on the other end alone with Florida worst defender … but we intended for LJ to shoot… this is such a terrible take

I’ll admit Sampson said Sharp should’ve shot faked and drove in the presser… if you rewatch you’ll see there was nowhere to drive… the lane was completely clogged… bad play.

Where is Sharp supposed to drive… terrible execution if he’s supposed to be in an iso…

Where was Sharp supposed to muscle through 3 defenders… terrible take!

Look at the 1st shot… sharp had a WIDE open. Shot for 3

Or a 2 on 1 with Jwans defenders
