In 30-plus years of covering local college basketball, I've never seen a point guard control a game the way North Florida's Dallas Moore (27 points, nine assists) did in an 80-64 victory over A-Sun preseason favorite Florida Gulf Coast. Until he can score beyond 5 feet from the basket, Walker will never live up to his massive buildup. It's way past time to scale back expectations for Florida 6-foot-10 forward Chris Walker.
