It's a clear theme with him for a decade. That's who he is.

True.

 

[vol94]

JJJ makes one of two foul shots. 33-26 bad guys. 1min left

 

[vol94]

Continue to pressure their guards!
Way to go Fulky!
33-28. 24 sec left n half.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

This team is blessed to be down only 5 at the half.

 

[vols1071]

Keon is the most competitive guy on the team....

 

[ForeverfaithfulVOL]

Has the old Fulkerson emerged?! I sure hope so!!

 

[Catbone]

Springer is not right. He's hurting

 

[BreatheUT]

Way to close the half. What happened to this early in the half? I missed it. Where is Pons?

 

[Volarious]

Defense got much better the last 5 minutes...

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Down 5 is a small miracle considering it looked like a blowout was happening.

But damn it make some halftime adjustments and don't come out flat or all that was for nothing.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Barnes made a good adjustment there the last few minutes. Switching and keeping the ball outside. With the start we are lucky to be down 5

You could see this pretty much from day one. I said earlier that they are not a tourney team anymore but if the perfect storm were to happen where fulky continues his play like today and all our guards are clicking, a run could be made.

 

[KB5252]

Nice answer to close. That combination should see the floor to begin the last half, and told to keep the aggression up.

I was tired of watching Florida shoot layups - do we not have a zone defense at all ?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Springer is not right. He's hurting

I've wondered how healthy his ankle is

 

[malibuvol]

Florida is stupid for not staying in zone on defense...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

No we don't and shouldn't. Florida will shoot us out of the gym. We need Pons and Fulk to meet guys at the rim and challenge shots

 

[Creeker]

Lucky to be down 5. Fulkerson looks like he’s gonna have to carry them to a win if we are gonna pull it out.

Barnes does not like to play zone. He prefers to play man and “fill the gaps.”

 

[Border Vol]

Damn this team is a huge disappointment!

When your offense is Gaines for 3 from the corner, then yes.

Seems to be working

That can't be right. Barnes is a horrible coach and should be fired. Those types of coaches can't make adjustments. Didn't you hear?

Ive bitched about him enough, but ill give him credit when he deserves it as well

 

[kiddiedoc]

Maybe JJJ and Springer drank a Red Bull at halftime.
