Iowa beat us by 25. Easily.
OMG, we’d have 10 minute stretches without a basket and 25 TO’s against this defense.
Shows you how far IU is away..
I watch the NBA every night..Houston has those guys physically..
Houston bigs have the Gators scared to shoot in the paint.
And have them walled off on the three pt line..

Houston gets away with beating the shit out of you, old guys like Pitino and Sampson have figured out refs don't want to call fouls every possession.
Florida needs to find a way to get Clayton open to win this game. Perhaps off ball picks or double picks. Run the picket fence.
I watched the Calapari 30 for 30 today, and for me the take away from that one is the role will plays in all this. Just laser-focused, refuse-to-lose, absolute WILL to win. That's what I see in Houston. I would be surprised if they lose because they appear to want it more.
That was the attitude that Steve Green, Scott May, Isiah and Steve Alford had. They refused to lose.
Better hang a banner somewhere for that.
They have been coached to hack rather than give up a good look at the basket. Refs are not going to call them all.
Yeah I think he called them out at the half and told them to be more physical. Was thinking it before Hill and Raftery made the point.
I asked AI what Houston should run on that possession (down one 64-63). In real time this is what I got:
"Horns Flex" with a twist. Start with a Horns set—two bigs (like J’Wan Roberts and Ja’Vier Francis) at the elbows and guards (LJ Cryer and Emanuel Sharp) in the corners. Point guard Milos Uzan brings the ball up and passes to Roberts at the left elbow. Roberts then sets a down screen for Cryer, who flex-cuts off the screen toward the basket. Simultaneously, Francis sets a ball screen for Uzan, who drives toward the right. Florida’s defense, likely keyed on Clayton’s offensive threat, might overcommit—either doubling Uzan on the drive or collapsing on Cryer’s cut. If they double Uzan, he kicks to Sharp in the corner for an open three (Houston’s a top 3-point shooting team). If they collapse on Cryer, Roberts rolls to the rim for a lob or dump-off. Worst case, Uzan resets and probes again, eating clock and forcing Florida into a half-court grind where Houston’s defense thrives.

Lol I think this is basically what they ran on the last possession but Clayton came out to double Uzan which effectively turned it into a trap, blowing up the play.
