It probably comes down to if Gators can throttle down V's top scorer 6'6" Nesmith 23 pt. average as well as defending down Lee's 16.6 ppgs? Players like Nesmith can go on tears against teams like us. IMO, from watching Blackshear with his "inadequate" left foot, driving players can cause him to stumble back and get by him (bless his big heart). KB is still our leader who does a great job ... but no way should Vandy have 2 players with better scoring averages than any of our Gators.?

For the 2nd time, Nesmith is not on the floor. He is injured and out for the season. It is a big reason why Vandy sux and is OH for the SEC.

I apologize, FF for missing your correction post about Nesmith. Makes my posts really stupid. I sincerely invite another to post the *** Official BBall thread. I just get edgy when it gets late and there's no post.

This team is certainly on the brink of going into the dumper. If we lose today, it could get very ugly for White. It certainly looks like we will cause Vandy has been shooting 18% from 3 since losing their leading scorer for the year due to injury. You just know that Vandy is going to come out and shoot lights out in their home gym in a late night game while we sleep walk through the night.

UF-Vandy: Different Degrees of Struggle - Florida Gators

wow White actually pointed the finger at himself for once:

White pointed a finger at himself Friday. Just like he did Tuesday.

"I've never had a team that defended this poorly. Ever," he said. "So I've got to figure it out. I've done a poor job with this team defensively. I have. What we've done, obviously the last month, is not translating to defending at a high level in games."

This genius still thinks defense is this team’s primary problem. This post and the one about not playing our most productive lineup together against Miss St tells you all you need to know about White and the prospects for a more entertaining basketball future.

There's the consideration that my posting these might be a jinx? But if someone else wants to take over, that's fine with me.
I posted this Vandy one a day early hoping to dodge that jinx. I welcome any GatChatter who would do the official game thread.

We are all appreciative Rog, but as long as Mike is still the coach, the jinx remains!

I know it does not pertain to the Vandy game but this is a basketball thread and I am not starting one for this story:

College basketball picks: Revisiting preseason predictions


Jeff Borzello, college basketball insider: I picked Florida to win it all. The best graduate transfer on the market and two McDonald's All Americans joining up with three returning starters. What could go wrong? Evidently a lot. Let's just move on.


OOPS

Even the gator writers are criticizing him. When they bail, you know his days are numbered.

Yes you are correct. This is when you know it is over b/c these dumbasses are the most reactionary types of all. They know nothing about the games, all they know is the record and the stats. They can't see the forest thru the trees.

Florida is up 8-3 at the under 16 timeout. Slow start offensively, but the defense has been solid
