Frazier Out Cost Us the Game

[GatorWinorLose]

Not sure why Billy held him out most of the 2nd half...but something was up, He was as hot as alwys in the 1st half and we desperately needed his touch later...but Billy held him out. Cost us, but I guess something "bigger than winning this game" was going on.

I agree! I was screaming at the TV. I could not understand why Frazier did not get in with Boyton throwing up all those bricks...and bad shot selection too many times.

There will soon be a new rap song inspired by him called "Do the Clank, Clank"

I don't know about the OP's sanity or sobriety, but Frazier had 10 points in 16 minutes, no fouls, and 1 turnover. No reason he should have been sitting next to Billy Jr. and Jacob Kurtz for the last 10 minutes.

[Zambo]

I like Frazier.

Frazier hit six 3 pointers on Saturday. Maybe he was over his quota.

All joking aside, Frazier is one of the most talented freshmen in the country.

He's just a freshman. Can't learn being harassed by tight defenders.
Gotta sit calm on the bench, learn by watching senior Boynton.

Kinda happens every year. Bily D is a terrific coach but not without flaws. And one of them seems to be the playing upperclassmen at times even if their is a better, younger option. Im excited about Fraziers future though.

Without an inside game we are too one dimensional and too easy to defend.

I don't want him to learn anything from Boynton unless it is for the purpose of doing the exact opposite.

Reminds me of the old question:

Who is the only person that could hold Michael Jordan under 20 points?

Answer: Dean Smith (at UNC, for you younger folks).

I wish we went to Frazier every time down the court. That's how good he looks right now.

[cuuf]

Such clarity, such knowledge. What a waste of coaching smarts.

[WobbleGator]

Frazier is a decent player.

Here is the bigger problem:

MIN FGM-A FTM-A OREB REB AST STL BLK TO PF PTS
Patric Young, C 26 1-4 1 3 0 1 0 2 3 2

You won't win when players aren't playing.

I don't want Billy gone or any of his staff to be released, but somebody needs to have their head rolled for this. Maybe a secretary or the receptionist or something.

It's a tough place to play and UF should have won. Oh, well. All is not lost and the goal remains within reach.

[WobbleGator]

3 seed here we come.

[mrgator]

To the OP: No. Times 10, no. We didn't lose because Frazier didn't shoot more. We lost the game because the players who are normally reliable for Donovan choked. 6/12 at the charity stripe; clanking threes and taking bad shots. This is what lost it for us. I have no problem with Donovan playing his upper-classman starters on the road in a hostile environment expecting one of them to make a play.

Secretary on the block for the Arky loss...this is more a Janitor-fired type loss.

FWIW, I disagree completely with the title of this thread. As someone else said, neither of our 6'9-6'10 players, played with any toughness under the basket. We had no inside presence. To me, that was the biggest issue in this loss.
