Houston #21 ?

UF’s Ferrell-ish goofy lookin’ mofo had no business out there

It looked bad on him, but when you look at the replays it was really great defense by Florida in both cases.
He did take too long to try to get the three pointer off and it cost him, but he was probably making sure nobody was open underneath before he shot.
Feel bad for that kid because I know it will haunt him

This. Florida locked them up and played it perfectly, and when you look at the replay from the other baseline there was no way that shot wasn't getting blocked. Smart of him to have the wherewithal to not touch it but his teammate clearly didn't know the rule as well and waited to go after it.

My take on it was that Houston was trying to run a double screen to get him a look and the big that was toward the top of the key didn't get to his spot, so it was more staggered and the defender was able to get through and challenge.

I never like waiting for a shot at the buzzer when you're losing. If you want to "go for the win" fine, but take that shot with 7 or 8 seconds left so you have time for a shot at a rebound or foul in the event of a miss. With 3 point percentages around 35% you're more than likely going to need it.
