There you go Lee for 3!!!!

UF plays at Vandy at 4pm. Notoriously not a place that we play very well, and the excuses are always the same for all teams that don;t play well there. The benches are in the end zones, it is an odd shaped arena, the shooting background is weird b/c of how the seating is in the end zones, etc. All of these things are true as I have watched a zillion games in that place, but the last time I checked, the court dimensions were the same as all college and pro courts and the goals are 10 feet high. None of the oddities have any effect on playing sound, fundamental basketball, which is what UF needs to do if they want to easily get into the tourney. Any road win in this conference is a great win and we desperately need this one today as we have a tough schedule from here out.

Go Gators! I will be at baseball so will miss the basketball game!

When's the last time we won at Vandy? Has White won at Vandy? How many times have we won at Vandy in the past 6 years?

I see this as another loss.

We aren't playing so well in traditional environments so maybe a game in Voo Doo gym will work out for us.
If you have followed SEC basketball for a while you will understand why I called it Voo Doo Gym

We haven't won @ Vandy since 2014. We just don't play good there. Vandy has won their last 4 games at home and average close to 80 points a game at home. So yeah this is most likely another loss in a must win game. Vandy is hot at home and we are cold everywhere. I don't see us winning any games the rest of the year so NIT here we come baby dolls! I am hoping for a surprise win though! Go Gators!!

I’m 20 minutes away, and I’m not going. Had planned to, but it’s pouring rain, 39 degrees, and I’m just not motivated.

I know, I’m a bad Gator.

Edit: I’m going to go. I’m a good Gator, dammit!

Given the unpredictability of this team, I kind of expect them to play well and win.
We seem to play better on the road than at home, which is disturbing.

Now that I have gone on record with a positive prediction, we will lose by 20

Vandy usually plays great at home and they are used to shooting there. We are not used to shooting anywhere...

Sorry but I won't be watching the game. We are going to see our Grandfather who is 97 and is not doing too well. Going to the park and then Red Lobster afterwards for dinner. Go Gators!!

Probably a must win today to make the tournament. I doubt we get to 20 wins (even including the SEC tourney) if we don't win today.

We need this win badly. The home stretch of games is brutal. Just win baby!

Down 12-11 at the under 16 timeout. Allen fouled a 3pter going into timeout. On pace to give up 120 pts. White still can't get after the refs. Chiozza was crushed and White didn't say anything. Terrible defense, ok offense to start
