Tallahassee, Fla. - Theres a pattern developing within the Florida basketball team that has caught the attention of Coach Mike White.And not in a good way.Florida State may not be a Top 10-ranked team like Gonzaga and Duke were, but the Seminoles are very good and figure to have some highlight moments in the Atlantic Coast Conference on the way to playing in the fun part of March. On Sunday, White watched his 21st-ranked Gators play some terrific first-half defense against an excellent offensive crew, only to watch FSU discover its scoring rhythm - much like Duke and Gonzaga did - in the second half on the way to a 83-78 victory in front of 10,028 at Tucker Center.Seminoles guard Dwayne Bacon did a number on the Gators (7-3) for the second year in a row, scoring 16 of his game-high 24 points in the second half. Forward Terrance Mann had 16 points to go with eight rebounds for the Seminoles (10-1), who shot 55.2 percent after intermission, making nine of their first 12 shots to open up a double-digit cushion that withstood a late Gators rush.UF sophomore guard KeVaughn Allen let fly a 3-point shot with 45 seconds left that could have tied the game, but the ball caromed off the rim and into the hands of Mann, who hit two free throws at the other end. The closest Florida, led by Kasey Hills career-high 21 points and 16 from Allen, got after that was within four.FSU was just too big, too good and leading by too much to finish the job.Its been a common theme for us defensively in all three of our losses. Were just not the same, for whatever reason, White said of UFs second-half generosity on the defensive end. Weve got to maintain that energy level, intensity level and communication level when were [defending] away from our bench.Florida States 55 percent and 47 second-half points fell right in line with Dukes 60.9 percent and 43 points last Tuesday, as well as Gonzagas 60.7 and 45 over Thanksgiving weekend, respectively.Bacon, who scored 24 last year in Gainesville when he gutted the Gators with the game-winning jumper with just over four seasons left, hit seven of his 11 shots after halftime. UF shot the ball well enough to be in the game (46.8 percent), but some much needed possessions went scoreless and the Seminoles - whether it was Mann or 7-foot-1, 305-pound Michael Ojo (8 points, 7 rebounds) or 6-10 freshman and NBA lottery-pick-in-waiting Jonathan Issac (9 points, 6 rebounds) - made it tough to get second-chance opportunities off the offensive glass.Its very hard to go over those guys, Hill said.UF guard Kasey Hill scored a career-high 21 points, including this hard drive and finish at the rim.The Gators stayed in the game mostly by going around those guys. The Seminoles love to press, which makes them beatable off the dribble and in the open floor with quick guards like Hill and Allen. Florida was able to get to the rim and finish some tough, challenged shots, with Hill making 10 of his 15 field-goal tries and Allen going 6-for-13.But even 6-11, 250-pound center John Egbunu (8 points, 5 rebounds) was dwarfed by FSUs live athletic bodies, getting just four shots off in the post. Forward Devin Robinson (8 points, 5 rebounds) and Justin Leon (7 points, 1 rebound) were pretty much neutralized, too. Reserve swingman Canyon Barry went 2-for-10 from the floor before leaving the game with a nasty gash in his head that needed 13 stitches to close. Backup bigs Kevarrius Hayes and Keith Stone had a field goal each.You have to credit their length and discipline on the interior, their physicality, White said. They have the ability to throw different [big] guys at you.It would have been nice to draw the FSU bigs away from the basket with some 3-point shots, but UF went just four of 16 from deep.I thought in the second half we played with a little bit more poise and executed better, FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said after his program registered its first victory over a ranked non-conference opponent since beat UF on Dec. 7, 2008. We had some moments where we were indecisive but had quick recoveries. This is type of game that helped grow up a little bit.Developments in first half had a lot to do with the circumstances of the second. Allen appeared in a groove in the first half, but picked up two fouls barely three minutes into the game. White let Allen, his best offensive player, sit for about three and a half minutes before putting him back in the game. UF led at the time 12-11.I didnt want to go into the half struggling offensively, White said. KeVaughn is a not a big foul-trouble guy. I didnt foresee him picking up that third.Florida led 20-17 when Allen, indeed, got his third foul at the 8:40 mark - and it came when he fouled Braian Angola-Rodas on a made 3-point shot. Allen headed to the bench and Angola-Rodas to the free-throw line, where he converted the four-point play and gave the Seminoles the lead and a huge jolt of momentum.FSU led 36-34 at the break and used a 16-6 run early in the second half, with Bacon scoring seven of those points, to ride out to a 12-point lead with 14 minutes to go, a sequence that included the first technical foul called against White in his two UF seasons.Thirteen minutes later, though, Allen had a shot at his game-tying 3.It looked good, he said.Instead, the Gators have their first two-game losing streak of the season and likely are headed out of the Top 25. The Seminoles, meanwhile, very well could be taking UFs place.So what?Its not what we earned this week or last week. None of that matters, White said. Its about learning from this game, the Duke game, the North Florida game [before that]. Im sure Coach Hamilton is talking about the same thing. Its such a long season. Obviously, we really, really wanted this one, but its a process. A journey. We have to get better tomorrow.Second-half defense figures to come up. Grossiste Chaussures Chinois .

NASSAU, Bahamas -- Tiger Woods walked off the 18th green at Albany Golf Club on Sunday, completing a 72-hole tournament for the first time in 15 months. It was an achievement that was always going to mean more than his swing, his score and his standing in the Hero World Challenge.And to think that a good bit of the chatter before the tournament centered around whether he would even start, let alone finish.Woods did far more than that. In a weeks time, he changed the narrative from negative to positive; from concerns about whether he was risking embarrassment to how long it might be before he will win again.The fact that some might be getting ahead of themselves when it comes to adding more tournament trophies is simply a testament to how good Woods looked this week, which was a pleasant surprise after all of the doom and gloom of the past year.Its really awesome to see, Jordan Spieth said. Im pumped to see what hes doing this week. Its certainly there. If he wasnt rusty, he could (have been) winning this tournament.Woods ended up well back of winner Hideki Matsuyama, shooting a final-round 76 that included three double-bogeys. That was the highest score of any player this week. But when you consider there were many who wondered if Woods would break 80, his time in the Bahamas was a rousing success.Getting back to this point is beyond anything that Ive ever experienced in my lifetime, Woods said. The pain issues that I had, it was rough. To battle back, to battle through it. Frankly there were some pretty dire times where I just couldnt move.Among the more impressive aspects of his comeback was the intensity Woods brought to his first tournament since August 2015. There is an understandable sense that Woods has to take things slowly, carefully. That his swing has undergone subtle changes to protect his surgically repaired back. That there would be growing pains, most notably with power and distance.But going back a week ago, when I was one of two reporters who got to witness Woods during a two-hour practice session at Albany, it quickly became apparent that he is lacking no power or distance; that his ability to shape shots is there.I really like how much longer his backswing is -- especially with the driver, said Sean Foley, Woods former coach. I like that his lower body and pelvis are moving more. The movement is not restricted; it is much more free. He looks great.Another former coach, Haney Haney, said: The swing is smooth; there are no apparent issues.Haney correctly pointed out the relative ease of the Albany course, and a few disclaimers are in order. Albany has five par-5s and did not play particularly long; the field consisted of just 18 players, which was reduced to 17 after Justin Rose withdrew with his own back injury; not every player was fully engaged (Dustin Johnson had not picked up a club since playing in China last month.) And this being an unofficial event meant it would be fun and relaxing with a nice payday as part of it.But Woods had more birdies than any player other than Matsuyama. Before the tournament, Woods noted how Bubba Watson won at 25 under par last year and figured even getting to 20 under would be a tall order.It was, but who would have thought Woods could make 24 birdies in 72 holes, regardless of the venue?His swing looks great, said Brandt Snedeker. It looks like he slowed the rhythm down a little bit. Ive been real impressed. He has an innate ability to do things that only a couple of guys in the world can do. I thought the hardest thing to do coming off a long layoff is to come back and shoot a low number. You can shoot 70 or 699, but to shoot 7 under par with no bogeys .dddddddddddd.. that doesnt happen very often coming off a layoff.There were some issues, to be sure. Woods made three bogeys and two double-bogeys on par-5s, going 7 over par on holes where he might be expected to be at least 3 under. Thats a 10-shot swing right there.Woods is unlikely to see as much sand as he did this week since the Albany course is basically lined with waste areas instead of rough. But he had his struggles with long shots out of sand -- not that those are easy for anyone -- and if he misses fairways in most tournaments, hell have difficult lies in the rough instead.And yet, were quibbling, right? Woods had not played a tournament for 15 months, went at least six months of that time without swinging club and had enough reservations about his game that he pulled out of the Safeway Open in October just a few days after he entered.You know, only Tiger could take a year and a half off and put up the numbers that hes putting up this week, Matsuyama said.Everything looks like he can win on a great week, but he isnt winning with his B game, Haney said. For that matter, no one today can do that like Tiger used to do. He will win again, no doubt, unless the short game rears its head again.Much has been made of Woods chipping problems from early in 2015, but he maintains that is the least of his worries at this point. There were no signs of chipping yips at Albany, just possibly a lack of precision that is understandable.Rickie Fowler said he wasnt surprised by what Woods did here, having seen the improvement when they played together at home in South Florida. But he did note that Woods showed amazing patience and resolve in waiting so long to return while enduring the ups and downs of slow, incremental improvement.I cant imagine from where he was early 2000s, arguably the best player to ever play the game, to deal with not being able to put the same move on the ball and hit the same shots that hes used to seeing and to be patient and wait until he was healthy enough to make that progress, Fowler said.This was clearly an emotional, draining week for Woods. In addition to the duties he has as host of the tournament, playing for the first time with all the scrutiny he knew was coming led to an anxiety nobody else in the field faced. Woods admitted that getting past Thursday was a relief, and it allowed him to settle into playing golf.Sunday was more a reminder that this was never going to be easy, that golf is a difficult game even when at your best, and that Woods still has plenty of obstacles to conquer in his comeback.But instead of the dark clouds that hung over him for so much of the past year, there is a sunnier outlook heading into 2017. Woods is not likely to play again for at least six weeks, with his next tournament undecided. It could be Abu Dhabi on the European Tour or the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines the following week.Wherever it is, whenever it is, Woods now has a solid foundation from which to build with plenty of positives to draw on but much work still to do.I wasnt going to compare him to the rest of the field, said Woods caddie Joe LaCava. Theyve all been playing all year, and theyve been playing great. Honestly my goal was to get him through five rounds (including the pro-am) on his feet. That was big.You never know whats going to happen, but he looks good walking, looks good over the ball and looks good after hes done playing. And those are all positives. ' ' '
