Opposing coaches constantly compliment Florida's communication and rotation when defending ball-screens. Will be huge vs. Napier.

There have been better starts, certainly
— We take the stairs (@NoEscalators) April 5, 2014
Amida Brimah's length causing some issues for Florida. Pat Young couldn't even turn and see the rim against him.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) April 5, 2014
That Patric Young obliteration of the Boatright drive finally put some juice into JerryWorld. Wow.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) April 5, 2014
That was not a charge. #couldseeitfromhere
— Jerry Palm (@jppalmCBS) April 5, 2014
Eight minutes into the game, Shabazz Napier with one shot and zero points. Started slow against Michigan State too, though.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) April 5, 2014
Just said same thing. RT @AlligatorArmy: Not sure Florida's played defense this well this whole year.
— Thomas Goldkamp (@ThomasGoldkamp) April 5, 2014
Ollie leaving Brimah in with two fouls. Panic time?
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 5, 2014
Nice adjustment by Donovan to UConn's pick and roll coverage. UConn rejecting the screen and sending third man into paint before the action.
— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) April 5, 2014
UConn scoring at the highly efficient clip of 0.333 points per possession. Turning it over on 41.7 percent of possessions.
— Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) April 5, 2014
People acting like this game is over. Over a dozen of the previous 61 tourney games featured a rally from down 10 or more pts
— Troy Machir (@TroyMachir) April 5, 2014
Napier finally got in the paint twice, UConn finally made two shots because of it. Game on?
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) April 5, 2014
Daniels and Boatright knowck down threes, and UConn has a pulse. Perimeter shooting is the key for Huskies.
— Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) April 5, 2014
Yup, that's an 11-0 UConn run up here too.
— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) April 5, 2014
Right there, worst single rule in b-ball. Kicked ball, shot clock stays at 4. A violation without a penalty. If OK to kick it, let them kick
— Michael DeCourcy (@tsnmike) April 5, 2014
Shabazz showing some frustration. Still hasn't scored.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) April 5, 2014
Napier minus any FTAs is not full-strength Bazz. Nor, for that matter, is UConn minus any FTAs.
— John Gasaway (@JohnGasaway) April 5, 2014
I hate the cliche "He's even faster in-person." But Shabazz Napier is even faster in-person.
— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 5, 2014
Shabazz's first basket and UConn only down by 2.

The role players on UConn have improved at quite a rate. UConn staff deserves praise for player development.
— Andy Katz (@TheAndyKatz) April 5, 2014
Ball screen came, Napier didn't use it, blows by everyone. So shifty and agile.
— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 5, 2014
Florida’s shot selection is puzzling.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) April 5, 2014
This 21-6 UConn run was sparked by going small. Three PGs (Boatright, Bazz, Terrence Samuel)
— Rob Dauster (@RobDauster) April 5, 2014
After that awful start, UConn matched and even exceeded Florida's defensive intensity. Gators really laboring offensively late in half.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) April 5, 2014
HALFTIME: Connecticut 25, Florida 22. 21-6 run to end the half for the Huskies.

Florida gets a C-minus on the Body Language Scale right now.
— Myron Medcalf (@MedcalfByESPN) April 5, 2014
Patric Young is far too poor of a defensive rebounder for a guy who is as limited as he is offensively. Small hands, average instincts.
— Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) April 5, 2014
Florida in similar situation to Louisville at this stage of F4 game vs Wichita State. Desperate for a spark. Do Gators have a Tim Henderson?
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) April 5, 2014
DeAndre Daniels has picked the right time to take his next game to the next level.

Florida currently 33% from the floor, 1-7 from three.

Scottie Wilbekin is now 2 of 7 shooting with 1 assist and his 1st turnover in a long, long time. Major issue for Gators.

Under 8 timeout. Casey Hill just picked up his fourth foul. Gators have cut the lead to 3.

Gators took a mere 9 3’s in first meeting. 8 so far tonight.

It has suddenly dawned on Florida that perhaps it can get ball inside in this game. Light bulb moment.
— Dana O'Neil (@DanaONeilWriter) April 6, 2014
Florida's odds of climbing the mountain are likely long despite smallish deficit. UConn an incredibly good free-throw shooting team.
— Brad Evans (@YahooNoise) April 6, 2014
Florida's guards have just self-destructed tonight. Not what I expected.

Shabazz Napier just picks pockets. Wilbekin spun, thought he'd gotten by him, Napier poked it loose. So quick.
