UF is 4 in the East playings East Tn State in Orlando. Davis I think already picking against UF.

Davis is an idiot

 

[Swamped Gator]

Fairly favorable bracket as well.

We gonna rub it in to Dubs, right?

Good point. @dubster1 will think the committee was wrong and he was right lol

I agree. I think Villanova is a weak 1. Duke though could be an issue for UF.

ETSU:

1. Plays 9 guys 10 plus minutes a game.

2. Their top five minutes guys are:

Cromer 6'3" 190 lbs 31.6 min, 19.1 pts, 2.9 reb, 3.2 asts, 2.7 tos, 51.1% inside the arc, 40.4% from the arc, 81.8% FTs

Bradford 6'2" 180 lbs 30.6 min, 10.6 pts, 4.5 reb, 4.0 asts, 2.4 tos, 53.5% inside the arc, 35.4% from the arc, 78.3% FTs

Merriweater 6'3" 190 lbs 23.5 min, 8.6 pts, 3.6 reb, 1.5 asts, 1.8 tos, 53.7% inside the arc, 46.4% from the arc, 75.6% FTs

Glass 6'8" 206 lbs 22.3 min, 8.9 pts, 6.2 reb, 0.9 asts, 1.5 tos, 57.1% inside the arc, 20.0% from the arc, 74.5% FTs

Mosquera-Perea 6'9" 225 lbs 21.8 min, 8.4 pts, 4.6 reb, 0.7 asts, 1.3 tos, 59.9% inside the arc, 0.0% from the arc, 56.1% FTs

3. I do not see any size and outside shooting that will bother UF. A couple of guards need to be found at the arc.

Potential match up vs Virginia will be a grinder. First to 50 wins.

UF held them to 45 and scored 71 on them the last time UF matched up with them in the tourney.

I am hoping for a sweet 16. Anything beyond that is gravy this year. We don't want any part of a hot Duke or that Nova team.

 

[SC Gator]

Like the draw. Hour from home, all teams in pod beatable. Still need bigs to step up and Berry to get back to mid season form.

By Kenpom UVa is two slot higher than UF.

So do we Match up favorably to Virginia in the second round if we meet there? Aren't they like a slow down half court team?

For me, I am focused on MTSU. On the other hand, the good about UVa is if UF has an off night offensively, they will not likely run away with the game.

 

[Gatorraid81]

Be funny as he!! to see FGCU knock off Fsu in 1st rd.

 

[Gator Fever]

We can beat Villanova in the Sweet 16.

Yeah it would, but their bracket looks very favorable for them at first glance.

 

[KronoGator]

Lock for the Sweet 16.

Does MTSU pose us problems? Don't know much about them.

They are a hard nose defensive minded team. They guard the arc very well. I don't see us running a half court offense well against them. We need to speed it up and run. But they have challanges on offense just like us.
