Sweet 16: (2) Florida def. (3) BYU, 83-74 in OT

  • Laley23
    Walker hasnt done much scoring since his quick start.
  • Laley23
    haha, Parsons finally got a big shot.
  • Laley23
    best part of the OT. Spreads these games out more. They were both under 1:30 to go...now we should have at least 10 minutes of gametime separating them.
  • Ty Webb
    Wait a second.....did Parsons just make a shot?
  • 2kool4skool
    Jimmer somewhat choked it away with bad shot selection tonight.
  • 2kool4skool
    Okay, now it's officially a choke job.

    I dont know if Id say that. I mean, thats what hes done ALL year. Hard to fault him for selection when that is the offense and he has been doing it for 4 years.

    I cannot think of a single player ive ever watched play college basketball who takes worse shots lol

    You apparently never watched Jeremy Hazell play last season.

    The sad thing is by going 11/31 tonight he still shot 6% higher than the rest of the team combined.

    Gators really matched anything BYU could do, but exploited the big advantage they had.

    Boynton really did a nice job on Jimmer.

    When you go 3-17 from three, it's a choke.

    I'd call it being off. The shots that usually go in for Jimmer were not....simple is that.

    Credit to UF also, they had a great gameplan.

    When you happen to be incredibly off in the biggest game of your life, it's a choke.

    That isnt what you said. You said bad shot selection.

    He had 32.

    Did you want 50 put up again?
  • Azubuike24
    I don't see how people are calling this a choke...ridiculous.
  • september63
    Jimmer lost his legs in the 2nd half. Shots coming up short. If id say anything, he probably took too many shots.

    on 31 shots. I mean its still impressive...but 1 point a shot isnt exactly efficient

    When you aren't shooting threes well, continuing to take them(17 of them) is bad shot selection...

    On how many shots?

    No one is arguing his teammates could have carried it, but he had a real chance to win this game for them, and he was either incapable, or scared, to take the ball to the basket. Instead he settled for deep threes that weren't falling for him all night.

    you said he choked based on shot selection...as if he hasnt been taking them all year. It was no different than any other game all season, he just missed. You can argue he choked by poor shooting, but not because he was taking bad shots or forcing anything.

    Great game as expected. Tyus had a career game. Parsons had 16pts., 9 reb. KB played great defense. Billy coached a good game.

    Fair enough, he choked because he continued to chuck up threes he had no chance of making when his team needed points the most.

    Poor shooting does not equal choking, jesus I wonder if some of you have ever touched a basketball in your lives.

    BYU lives and dies with Jimmer. They have nothing else!
