Probably meaningless: Walter Clayton Jr. came out of the halftime locker room, shot about a dozen threes and didn't miss one of them. Lot easier when Houston's not guarding you.
This is fair. Rotating bigs has been huge for Florida. But Haugh is absolutely everywhere on defense and Condon has looked panicky when he handles the ball. https://t.co/ceBS0lf9zb

Were I in charge of Todd Golden's substitution patterns, Thomas Haugh would never leave the floor.
