Beat dem coonasses.

Glad this one is at home. A road game after a Huge victory would have been a trap game.

I expect a pretty good crowd tonight, with the ticket deal for this game. It will be my daughters first basketball game.

Should be a good game with the Gators squeezing out a W. Watch out for Will Baker. 7’0” Nevada transfer has been putting up some good numbers. Our bigs should give him a tough game.

 

[URGatorBait]

we have no chance in this game.




































that's reverse psychology for the idiots

When the Gators play full games, they win! The Gators need to learn when they have a huge lead at halftime, they need to turn it on in the second. Yes, for the Gator fans, but more importantly for post season and our record book.

LSU is way better than their won-loss record, and they are hungry for a win. We will need to control wright beyond the 3-pt line without fouling (80% from the charity stripe), but the bayou kittens have 4 players who have thrown up 75 or more 3 pt'rs this season and they are shooting 73% for FTs as a team. We will need to be on top of our game to win and we need our home team fans to be on top of that.

I was critical of ball handling in the early season, but, when they don't revert back, this team looks special. We have 8 games remaining; 4 are at home. A 20 game (or better) regular season winning record looks very possible, so, even when we are ahead by 15 at the half, we must win by 30!. Who knows: we could win 21. 22......(?)! It must start tonight!

LSU gave up a C-Note+ at home to Bama the other day. Defensively they are not good. They are KY bad on D minus having 3 7-footers to block shots at the basket.

Florida is up 11-9 at the under 16 timeout. Both teams going inside early

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 19-15 at the under 12 timeout. Still ablotnof back and forth. LSU stopping our 3pt shots and making us drive and score inside

 

[MertzJay26]

Already seen enough Aberdeen

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 25-21 at the under 8 timeout. Some good possessions and some bad ones on offense. Kugel had a layup, but before that he had an airball, 2 missed FTs, and had his 3pter blocked

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 37-29 at the under 4 timeout. Clayton with a big time slam, but the defense let up another open 3pter shot

 

[MertzJay26]

Man we are a joy to watch

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 48-34 at the half. Pullin came on strong hitting a few step back jumpers to close the half

 

[MertzJay26]

Florida is up 47-34 at the half. Pullin came on strong hitting a few step back jumpers to close the half

Lee - last time we’ve had a backcourt combo like Walt and Pullin?

Scottie and ?

This team’s momentum reminds me of the 04s. Great size inside and they picked up great momentum later in the year.
