may have seen their chances of having a decent season go down the drain with Ingram's injury. First off, Jacksonville ran some good offensive sets but simply did not have the skill to make shots. They outrebounded us by 8, so they worked hard on the boards; they had size in the post, but no real skill anywhere. Their shooting was not good.... Dowdle was going on and on in the postgame about our defense, but J'ville was getting good shots - they just couldn't make them. We forced a few TOs out on the floor, but their guards weren't very skilled at ballhandling. Their coach was a former assistant at UF and is in his first year as a HC. If he can recruit, he will probably do well.
Ingram went down with what looked like a serious knee injury around 7-8 minutes into the 2nd half; he had scored 12 pts in the 1st half and made some smart plays. We had been up 8 at half and won by 11, but a major injury to Ingram will seriously cripple our efforts.
Crean's postgame interview was one of the strangest I have ever heard. He was highly emotional - crying and could hardly catch his breath to speak - talking about "God has a plan" and "God's will be done", etc. You would have thought someone had died, not just gotten injured. IMHO it was waaaay over the top. I did not find it professional at all.
