I don’t think they’re the second best team in the league at least talent wise.

Figured I’d give this a shot. Don’t expect to win this one but never know what this team will do.

What I do know is we have to win at least 2 of our next 4 to get in. This is our most winnable one IMO. White better have these boys ready to play.

9 PM Eastern Time ESPN 2. Florida 4 point underdogs. ESPN Basketball Power Index says UTenn 75% chance of winning.

Do we see a continuation of our decline, or could this be the start of a winning streak that could propel us back to a top 5 seed? Hard to have much confidence in this team and coach at this point, but as a lot of analysts have pointed out, we might be one of the most bi-polar teams in the country and if we get in, making it to second weekend and beyond wouldn't surprise anyone based on roster talent.

Just like Double Gator Dad, I'm almost reluctant to watch this team at this point because leading the country in second half double digit lead collapses doesn't exactly make for fun viewing. But I'll watch and until we are officially eliminated, I can't help but hope that somehow this team and especially coach will regain some of the swag they had earlier in the season.

I think we have to win this one. Losses to 2 teams in tennessee in one week's time is more than I can stand.

We have to make sure Tenn's forwards don't abuse us this game.

With unbalanced schedules you are who your record says you are, given who you have played. So it is possible for a team in a league to have a better record than another team but not to be as good or not to have played as well.

Great coaching from White. Just dribble drive. Down 0-6 at the under 16 timeout. Good defense owning us

Hoping one of our Gatorette cheerleaders come over and chew out the team during a time-out ... somebody's got to coach 'em.

Gators shooting 18%. Freshman Okuaru and Ballard showing they are freshman by wildly driving into the lane and getting rejected left and right. That is why they don't play. Freshman mistakes and inexperience...
