***Official Game Thread*** Florida vs Missouri

[LeeForThree]

Florida is back at home tonight to take on Missouri at 7 PM on ESPN2. We really need another great 40 min of game play to keep the momentum going. We can not look ahead to Saturday and have to play with lots of energy tonight.

Prediction:

Florida- 94
Missouri- 61
POG- Robinson

Really sucks we get to play UK on Saturday after playing tonight while they get to play us after playing on Tuesday.

Keith Stone is not playing tonight. He is out with a viral illness...Hester is expected to get more minutes again

Wow...is Mizzou really that bad or are we really that good?

Missouri hasn't won a road game in almost 3 years and they've lost 12 straight overall. They might be the worst P5 basketball team not named Oregon State. And we're pretty damn good ourselves.

KY always gets protected.

Missouri has a RPI of 258. Our game @ North Florida is the closest comparison. They have an RPI of 253, So Missouri will be the easiest (on paper) team we play all year. We have to do to them what we did to our last two opponents though


Edit: They haven't really been blown out in the SEC though. They keep losing by 5-15 pts with an occasional 20 pt loss.

Now would be a good time for our team to get in a "zone" and keep it game after game. So far I don't think
they have done that yet. Go tonight Gators. My favorite wish is for Hester to hit for 20 ... along with the typical
others.

UF has a very very good record in the Thursday-Saturday games. UF seems to focus well in such a short turn around.

We do not need another Vandy game. These guys have not played since Saturday and should come out with lots of energy.

The short turn-around is also good tourney practice.

Florida is up 12-2 at the under 16 timeout. Good start offensively getting a few baskets by using off ball screens

 

[MertzJay26]

Not a bad start

I think JBoss is at the game. What are the chances he is already OWNED and DESTROYED by the sauce?

but White can't coach offense and doesn't run plays.

 

[MertzJay26]

Cheese!!! Never doubted he's a baller lol

 

[Gator Fever]

Its BS we are only getting 1 day off before the KY game while they get 3 days off - like Sas said. What kind of crap is that?

Took long enough lol

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 22-6 at the under 12 timeout. We are dictating the pace early and playing good defense

 

[MertzJay26]

Cheese just sauced the whole Mizzou team

 

[MertzJay26]

Heard JBoss started the "Orange/Blue" chant but instead one side said "Owwnnneeddd!" and the other said "Destroooyyyeedd!"

 

[LeeForThree]

Hill and Chiozza are 3-4 for 3pters already lol
