Florida is on the road again today to take on Mississippi ST at 2 PM on ESPN. This will be one of our biggest tests of the season. Going into our first game playing without Egbunu for the rest of the season. We need everyone to step up on all ends of the court, but most importantly we need to bring the crazy intensity on defense and rebounding to make up for the loss of the biggest player on our team. This game will show whether we stay together as a team or start to mope around and fall apart. Big game today in all aspects

Prediction:

Florida- 82
Mississippi St.- 75
POG: Rimmer


Edit: Game is on ESPN

This will be a tough game on the road as Miss St will be hungry to make a late run towards the bubble to get in the Tourney. Usually teams have a let down when they lose a major player for the season so this will be a tight game. Just have to find a way to tough it out and win. Go Gators!!

We probably have to take this one to have any chance to win the SEC without a win at Rupp.

Hope Rimmer can give us 5 solid minutes tops. Then he can be teammate of the game by rooting his guys on like the great young man he is :)

I predict that our offense explodes as we push more tempo with Hayes being an excellent big at running the floor. We will score 80+ this game!

MSU has got to be one of the youngest teams in the league. They have 1 senior (5'11" G) and 1 junior (who only averages 5 mpg) - that's incredible! And only 4 sophomores. Super young team. They're on a 3 game losing streak, all by 7 points or less, so they're going to be hungry. We need to come out fast and demoralize them from the opening tip. I'm looking for Allen to step up in this one.

Funny, I see it just about the opposite. Rather than a let down, I expect UF to have a great effort the first game out of the gate without their fallen teammate. I don't know if I have seen study, my impression is that teams play a bit better at first, then maybe suffer a let down later.

As for Miss State, they have lost 3 in a row for the first time in a row and could probably win out and not be on the bubble. They could be worn down by the season. Baseball openned this weekend and that is what their fans are talking about on boards.

Florida is down 13-7 at the under 16 timeout...and it's not going to get better. Only Allen looks like he has show up and wanted to play. We look to be going through the motions in quick sand...someone has to wake them up

The team looks like the Egbunu loss was huge. I hope they haven't given up.
