So our Gators, the #6 preseason team in the country, beat a subpar, unranked team. Do I have this right?That explains why you changed the title to read that the Gators managed "to slip by Miami". Other than a couple of cooler shooting streaks, the Gators put together a solid offensive and defensive performance in a game that more closely resembled team play that a bunch of individuals on the court together. They soundly beat the point spread, had 4 guys in double figures, including 2 freshmen, had season-highs in a lot of categories, and got a lot of points from the bigs.
Thoughts are with you regarding the family medical situation. Hope all is well!Must have been a good game. Could not watch. Just came on to get score. Dealing with family medical situation. So might be AWOL for a while. Hope for another one next game whoever they play

There was zero excuse for UF to have lost a single game so far this season. ZERO.You’re a fairly smart guy with an above average IQ. You know that preseason rankings mean absolutely nothing, especially when 60% of the starters never wore a Gator uniform, and the other 40% are sophomores with 1 season each under their belt.
to have expected them to be even close to mid season form was completely unrealistic. If they keep improving like I believe they can, they’ll be back in the top 10 near the beginning of January. In basketball, more than almost any other sport, it’s not how you start, but how you finish.

Mike White is what he is. We all know how this season will end.
Looked like a good game to watch in person. Not too much drama , lot of Gator fans. Plus 10-19 from 3 point land will get us well quick, and create space for KJ and crew down low. Always good to beat the Canes. Need to stay hot Sunday.Just got back and again, the Gator fans were out in force. Beacuse I was not districted by a flapping bird, got to watch the game closer.
Game really was not close. They pulled close at one point when we had gone to the bench and Canes got lots of calls, but you can see this young team coming together and getting to know each other a little better.
Blackshear did a great job of not fouling. There were a couple of time you could see him going for a loose ball or a block but pulling back instead of picking up a bad foul. Good to see.
Much more cutting and moving around. Nice in game changes also helped when White kept switching who was bring ball up the court. Miami had that little guy who was disruptive on the point so when Miami went man, we switched up. I think Mike White can coach, I just think he elects not to at times and that is not good coaching.
Again, Scottie in corner but he moved around more and when he got the ball good things happned. When he drives and shoots it takes two to defend him and thus we got Offensive rebounds and had some putbacks.
Again we shot the three well and made FT which was a problem yesterday. But how we got the threes was improtant: ball movement. Defensivly, this is a very good team. We have length and change shots.
These preseason tournamnets are great. Met Scott Strickland, Mick Hubert and took photos with team as they were getting on the bus. Everyone is loose and walking around. Now onto Sunday night. Would be nice to win this thing and restart the season so to speak.
Yes, if UF doesn't make the tourney, you get a six-month ban. If UF makes the tourney, you only get a two-month ban.willing to wager?
