Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida at UK

If not for the refs we win this game by 10-15 pts.

Strong finish to both halves by the good guys. We consistently outplayed them.

With reasonable officiating we win this by 15 or more.

The announcer just said, "So Kentucky wins it."

Florida wins!

Appleby comes up clutch down the stretch (not passing lol). Hit a 3pter, couple of FTs and had the play of the game with a nifty save off a UK player

Mann hitting that turnaround fadeway was clutch as well

 

[Double Gator Dad]

We have 4 players on pace to play 30+ minutes. Lewis again with 0 rebs and 0 assists. You must produce to stay on the court.

I am glad that White is making him earn his minutes.
Hopefully he will start playing better

What what a WIN! Refs did their best to take it from us. Great game plan by the coaches in the 2nd half to run great offense and great execution by our players to WIN this game. Finally a WIN in Rupp. Go Gators!!

Awesome victory for the Gators up in Lexington. Congrats guys. Big win.

Amazing how our drivers can avoid getting fouled by so aggressive Kentucky defenders.

Really enjoyable game. Well coached and team played through adversity.

I rarely bytch about officiating but this was just awful. Really bad.

Turnovers down the stretch nearly cost us but we held on with grit and effort.

I’m really impressed with Mann and how valuable he has become to this team. Appleby will make some mistakes but his motor and intensity makes him valuable as well. Same with Durugi.

When one or two players are having a bad day we have enough bench strength to replace them and step up the game. Go Gators!

Great job by the O&B to beat the typical blue/white/black team in lexington!

white is really aggravating me with his attempts to tease me with hope.

Any win at Rupp is fantastic. Might have to take a trip over to Rupp Rafters to soak in their sadness

Please come back with a report on how many are blaming the refs for their loss. I want total number and percentage of comments.

White has no confidence in any of his players = one mistake and White yanks you ...Osifo-Lewis see-saw.

4 players had 33 or more minutes of a 40 minute game. That indicates considerable confidence.

Better put MW is beginning to lose confidence in the bench in a tight game which stems from lack of focus and production. Lewis, Ruz and Payne played a combined 30 minutes and had a combined 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals and 0 blocks They took a total of just 7 shots (5 by Lewis). Yes....sit down until you get focused.

Yeah the Kid proved me wrong. I was hollering to get him out after his last two turnovers, he came back and helped seal the win.
Good win. Maybe the Gators can move up in the bracket with another win or two, get off that dreaded number 8 spot.

He can frustrate at times but he is a gamer.

Still, Applebee cannot dribble among the tall clustered trees without 75% chance of TO. Mann can manage it. Excellent win.
