I hear “It’s great to be a Florida Gator” from the crowd
Awesome!

 

[MertzJay26]

Clinched top 4 seed and a double bye in the SEC tourney. Not mad about it.

 

[Frozen Gator]

Nice to see ugay give up before the clock hit 0

 

[CGgater]

Refs with the keen eye to call traveling with 2 seconds left.

 

[LeeForThree]

Great 2nd half. Played more focused, intense, energized and more agressive on offense. We even finally ran 3 plays for Locke for 3pters and he made all 3!!!

 

[QueenCityGator]

Good we’re off the bubble.

 

[Marine1]

We start 0-11 from 3....hit 7-12 from there.

Georgia started 4-4 from 3.....hit 1-11 from there.

 

[Marine1]

So much for rumor of Payne getting time. Never left the bench.

 

[Born2beagator]

Alls cured, gonna beat Kentucky next?

Obviously a HUGE win as are all wins in March regardless of who you play. We Dominated the 2nd half 40-24 with our great defense. We ran our offense to perfection and White drew up some great screens and plays for Locke and he knocked down a bunch of 3s in the 2nd half which allowed us to pull away. UGA had been averaging 90 points a game the last 3 games or so and we shut them down and their leading scorer and #1 draft pick Edwards to 3/10 shooting and ONLY 14 points. KJ with 18 and 11. Locke with 17 and 5. Lewis with 11 points. Nemb with 8 points and 6 huge assists. HUGE win for the Gators. Go Gators!!

The switch to a zone was helpful

So with LSU and Auburn losing tonight, we’ve moved into a three-way tie for 2nd in the SEC with one game left.

The only thing this team should be tied for second for is a chit sandwich. But it appears we're dancing. And anything can happen when you're dancing

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

And looking at the tiebreakers, it looks like a win over UK guarantees us the #2 seed in the SECT. Our record against Auburn/LSU is 2-1, while each of them is 1-1 in games against the other two. If we lose, then that opens up a myriad of possibilities that I have zero desire to research. In other words, just win, baby.

We do look uninspired right now

We have the HC for that.
Do you think Payne isn't allowed playing time due to poor academics? Do schools do that?
On the face of it, White must want Payne to transfer. As is, what could Payne have done that keeps him out, while Jitoboh gets more minutes playing time? Playing time should be based on successful contributions. Has Glover earned more playing time? Perhaps he has a medical condition that's kept private - like attacks of vertigo.

I wouldn't say dancing yet. Two loses and I bet we are watching TV hoping to get in on selection Sunday.
