North Florida attempting to take a page out of Liberty's book from a season ago

Here's our game preview where the Flames are a 6 point fave

We need to bring our A game and contest the 3 better than we did against Lipscomb.

This is where a good coach like McKay needs to manufacture and additional measure of urgency to insure the team doesn't become complacent and get caught.

Against Lipscomb we doubled the post every time the ball went in and that left the 3-point shooters (they had two of them) open and that hurt us. It's the risk reward of the double team. When it happens, the other 3 defensive players have to rotate quickly and close out on the shooters. I'll be very interested how we scheme defensively in this game.

N Florida doesn't have a beast like Asadullah in the post, so I doubt we will be doing that.

You should take a class in Packline. This is literally why we only have one loss.

Once you understand it you can spot it. UVA, SDSU, Michigan State, Xavier.

I watched their game against Syracuse and they were simply bombs away from 3 point land. We will have to cover the perimeter. If they make high percentage of 3's they will be hard to beat. If they can't stick them, it could be a blowout.

UNF leads 32-31 at the half.

Left a minimum of 8 points off the board because guys refuse to use the backboard at point blank range. Sorry, I just don't understand it.
Is there some type of stigma about using the backboard that has sprung up in the last several years?

3 keys

Refs calling everything.
They have shooting to beat the pack
Our ft shooting decline is just unexplainable. Really only trust georgie and darius. Scottie and homesley are 50 percent at best. Gotta improve

We really going to lose to these guys?... still 6 mins but come on

We were really bad tonight. Even if we win, this is about the worst we’ve played since Lipscomb at home last year.

Had to turn that trash off. We aren't playing well and UNF has our number tonight.

Absolutely pitiful. I hope this week has been a reality check.

Sleep walking for several weeks now and it caught up tonight. Very uninspiring performance. Absolutely nothing from myo rode or cuffee. Defense was totally non existant. They did have a run there earlier in the half where they made 3 or 4 deep hotly contested shots in a row.

Tough to win with these long stretches without scoring.

Mcghee has been the lone bright spot. Best game of his career.

Im at the game. Defense is terrible. Refs doing their part also by being terrible!!!!

GPO...it aint always pretty but you want the ball in his hands late in the clock. Just makes stuff happen. That mcghee missed ft looming large here

Refs were an absolute joke.

We lose 71-70.

6 minute scoring drought. What is up with these guys? Hope we aren't this year's NIT team. It is just one game and they beat us last year, too so...

Just talked to our local news sports guy and be sure to talk about these refs tonight. He laughed and said they bailed unf out tonight.

One the top 2 or 3 worst end of game calls ive seen. Ticky tack fouls called all night both ways but more against us and the biggest one.

We didnt deserve to win for sleep walking through most of the game anyway.

Should never have been close enough to matter. A lot of matador D.
