Conditioning and depth will be the difference

[87Vol]

If we win tonight. We've got to be able to wear them out because they are no doubt better than we are on basketball skills. I think we can do it though in the 2nd half if we stay close this 1st half and the crowd stays rowdy.

Well we are winning first half before conditioning is a factor

What I was thinking

Im kind of worried.. Stokes needs to get going.. Jordy wont get 17 more to carry us in the second.

I just mean they look like a better skilled and coached team in terms of how they execute their offense and play as a team on D. They are not drastically better but they are better. We can overcome this however with our crowd and our depth and conditioning. We need to keep rotating fresh bodies and run as much as possible. This will wear them down and affect their shooting.

Oh but he will lol. No seriously he will now be the focus so Stokes and Golden HAVE to take advantage.

Stokes needs to hit the chippys right at the goal. Our guys may be fatigued and that's what worries me. That would negate our advantage of FL being short handed.

These are college athletes and we aren't even running a full court press. I think they will live.

I didn't mean we would wear out stupid. I meant we would win by wearing FL out !!!

You were exactly right, for the record.

Florida was short-handed and wore down. Both teams wore down, but Florida got the worst of it.

You think so? I mean I'm sure it was a factor, but we honestly controlled the entire game just about, wasn't like we made a big run the last 5 minutes.

I mean it definitely wasn't the whole story, but I thought it was a contributing factor for sure. As good as our defense was, Florida wouldn't have struggled so mightily to score down the stretch if they hadn't worn down. Just my opinion, of course.
