If anything, we are exactly where we should be given our shooting issues.Quote:

Last year we started Tolu, DJ, Shak, Garrison Brooks 10ppg , and Molinar 17ppg.
This year we replaced Brooks with Matthews 7ppg and Molinar with Davis 8ppg. And we won 4 more regular season games.
Our returning starters experience figures in a little but this team definitely overachieved.
ETA - And Jans deserves coach of the year.
Pretty good attendance at our game today for a noon start. And it's virtually full for Auburn/Arkansas tonight. Tomorrow's game with Alabama should be packed regardless of start time.
Gates at Missouri has been outstanding alsoQuote:

Today, UF die some things in the paint that concern me, but unconscious 3 point shooting just isn?t defendable. We HAVE to make layups and point blank shots that we have been missing and make 70% or better free throws and we will not have to worry about our 3 point shooting. Make the easy shots dad Gummit! 3 pointers are as rare as hitting .300 in baseball.
11 for 20 2 pointers is better than 6 for 20 3 pointers. We have to shoot better inside 10 feet. Period!
Yeah, but he doesn't coach at Mississippi State so I'd rather Jans win the award.***Quote:
