***Official Game Thread*** Florida vs Texas A&M

[LeeForThree]

Florida is back home today to take on Texas A&M at Noon on ESPN2. We need to have another great game for a full 40 min. Have to play with the same intensity as we did against Kentucky. Texas A&M has a great frontcourt, so our bigs have to play great and we have to have passionated rebounding again. Hopefully, Allen and Stone are back to their normal selfs as well today.

Prediction:

Florida- 89
Texas A&M- 71
POG- Leon

We should win against this 13-10 team but sooner or later we are going to have a letdown game. Hopefully its not today at home. Hopefully we can stay hot. Go Gators!!

Just pass with thought & certainty and don't throw up early clock shots. I wish Hester gets close to POG.

One loss at home this year is enough. So this group needs to come out ready today.

Let's hope it is something like:

UF: 77
aTm: 63

POG: Allen

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Their guys are big, time to chop some trees down!

 

[LeeForThree]

Need a great start for an early game for a change

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Fantastic ball movement on offense so far.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 11-7 at the under 1 timeout. Leon has been really good to start today

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 14-11 at the under 12 timeout. Offense not looking so good at the moment. Can't get much inside right now. Need to make shots

 

[InstiGATOR1]

UF not taking much advantage over a really bad first half turnover wise by aTm.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 19-13 at the under 8 timeout. Not playing well offensively. Texas A&M has 10 turnovers already and we only have 19 pts because we are missing some easy open shots and turning it over as well

 

[InstiGATOR1]

A bit of a carry?

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Not sure how that didn't qualify as a carry or a double dribble before the lob to Eggy, but whatever.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 24-20 at the under 4 timeout. Just bad offense again. Players are forcing inside shots that are contested and passing up open jumpers. Then taking contested jumpers

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Giving up a big run late in the first half again. Frustrating.

 

[diehardg8r]

Looks like everyone is going get a chance to play today, White might as well let the managers get some PT as well. I wish he'd stay with a 7 man rotation until we get a real lead.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 29-27 at half. Again just beyond terrible offense. 1 FG in the last 8 min of the half. Just complete in ability vs a team that beat Missouri by 3 earlier in the week. If we don't play great in the first 4 min of the 2nd half...this game will come down to the wire. Very poor effort all around. The game turned when Chiozza took over at PG. Couldn't create shots for anyone and dribbled the ball way too much

 

[LeeForThree]

We were a 3 seed...11th overall released by the Selection Committee today....Play Like IT

 

[rogdochar]

Actually, we're playing silly; Hester gets in and casually holds the ball right near the "hands" of the aTm guy. SO TO.
Not allowed to be stupid for the rest of the season, starting now. DRob & Allen need to hit some outside shots so we can start whipping it to Egbunu & Hayes inside since that's the way we'll need to win tourneys.

 

[diehardg8r]

Hill is playing well again today.......for the other team. And shooting WAAAAYYY too many three's
