this game is pretty shocking really. sure we have inexperience but for lack of better words considering our team......WE WERE EXPOSED. the team lacked quickness to get back on defenders on defense, could not be fast enough in the transition game, and just flat out got lazy in a couple moments of the game. with that being said this was an awful shooting night. granted florida did a good job of applying pressure but even open shots were not falling.......florida on the other hand could of thrown a dodge truck and it would of found a way to make it through the rim. i dont like to call it luck but they literally threw up at least 5 shots that just so happened to fall in while nothing fell for us at all. oden looked spectacular minus a few boneheaded plays but still a great performance on his part. this team still lacks an identity somewhat and they need to MESH to understand how to work together offensively and defensively. even as a blowout you look at some of the BS calls, centimeters of difference, and better execution on getting into position to make plays and its a very winnable game. once the game got out of the 12 point range and oden came out it was game over and i personally think the team lost some confidence when he went out. with experience, more quickness and agility, and confidence with oden out and understanding what they are and are not capable of with oden in they have limitless potential and we still have a long ways till march folks.
