These guys shoot, and hit, a ton of LONG threes. Better do a better job of closing out on threes in the second half.
 
Looks like some chippiness and mind games going on too. Good for our young team to go through at this point. More teaching points.

Need this win though. Seems like we were in control and starting to pull away until the first technical.

That is a really good 3 point shooting team. One of the best I've seen in some time. We have to do a better job of running them off the line and closing out quicker.

On the other end, keep penetrating to the basket. They don't look like they know how to slow down the penetration. Take it to them and get some of those great shooters out of the game and in foul trouble.

Yes, apparently their players are allowed to run their mouths when they score.

Multiple T's on our guys. Nothing like good old fashioned home cookin'....

They are 9-16 from 3s... So if they are in that neighborhood, or better in the 2nd half, they will win the game. For reasons unknown, our guys are chasing the dribbler and leaving the shooters.

The turning point was when we had a 9 pt lead on a fast break and our C threw a bad alley oop to our PF and they stole it and hit the 3. Nothing we haven't seen before LOL

Spalding sure looks nice.

We have a 31-13 rebound lead. So if we can somehow cool them off, then we can win. Big if.

This reminds me of the E8 game against WVU.
 
Those North Florida guys are winded. They didn't even move on that last possession. Just the guy who had the ball.
 
Talk about a tale of two halves. A halftime 2 point lead is now a 30 point game. The guys are really playing, and passing, well.
 
I don't think so. He has played very well. I didn't realize how long his arms are. He has great length.
He has stuff you can't teach. He gets deflections that no one else in the same spot could get.

Pitino is right that he has the most potential of all the freshman. Being a freshman I don't expect him to look like this every game but he is just gonna grow and grow.

Cards put together one of the more efficient offensive halves I've seen in a long time around here.

We only have 14 assists but feels like more.

Damion Lee got hot and wow @ Spalding.

Rebound edge is awesome. Blocked shots. Everybody gets an A.

Gonna disagree with you again but this time gonna take someone down a grade. Mitchell didn't look so great today. Everybody else did.


Minor thing that doesn't really matter though. It was a great win.
 
I have to admit, in seeing so many name teams suffer upset losses to significant underdogs in this early season, I was pretty worried about us showing up sleepy and falling to N. Florida. Thank goodness for second halves.

I agree Steelers. I was very uneasy about this game. I am pleasantly surprised. I expected this game to be a nail biter for 40 minutes.
 
Just realized that Mitchell had 6 rebounds in 10 mins. Perhaps he didn't perform as badly as I thought.

Didn't really need scoring from him today honestly and I don't recall him being scored on
 
Thought the Cards would win by 10 late.

Pleasant suprise to 'boom' them and hit a 30 point lead.

Hopefully UNF doesnt lose another game.
This will be a great resume win for the Cards.

Great coaching -great play-very good win.

I was worried because of their 3 pt game. That type of team can shoot you out.

It was impressive taking a small lead to half after getting outscored 27-6 from behind the arc in the first half.
