Gator Basketball Gators lose to lowly UGA at home; White on hot seat

LeeForThree · Mar 2, 2019

Florida is at home today to take on Georgia at 8:30 PM EST on the SECN. This is a key must win game. We have to come out on fire and playing like we have the last 5 games

Go Gators!!!!!!!!!

UGa is 1-14 in SEC play. 10-18 overall = OOC musta been hand picked.

Last time UF won 62-52. We shot 25 3-pters and 27 2-pters = bad blend. We hit 57% FTs. So, our new style should win by more than 10.

Be nice to get UGa's 6'11" Claxton in early foul trouble.
This game's another March Madness audition, so Grow Gators!

Just gotta show up and do our business tonight. Dance ticket is punched with a W.

Against UGa would be a good time to give Stokes extra training. From here on a brute 'neath the basket will be much needed.
Hudson has fired up quite a bit, hope it continues. Still baffled by his prior shortfalls?
Just look who could shine tonight? =
Allen, Nembhard, Hudson, KJ,
Locke, Hayes,
Stokes,
Basset?
That is good development.

Agree with Sas. I think a win would punch the ticket. We're gonna have to bring it through.

Some announcer said UGa's got the bits of a great team ... I think he said, next year?

They have been so rotten this year it kind of makes it a must game for us.

Want to see sharper passing, nothing lackadaisical.

Fvkk the dwags!!!

Neuter the dwags.

And bracket matrix has us at a 9 spot, which is better than I thought. Some have us as an 8. Win this get in the tourny and everything else is a cherry on top of this difficult season.

Thing is an 8 or 9 seed is basically the worst seed you can have, IMO. I'd rather be an 11 and play the 6 followed by a 3, or a 12 and play the 5 followed by 4, than an 8 followed by a 1. There's not much difference between most 5/6 and 8 seeds, but you'd definitely rather have a 3, 4 or 5 in the 2nd round instead of a 1. So basically if we can't get up to at least a 7 seed, I'd rather be in an 11 or 12 provided we're not in a play in game.

Many weeks ago, I believe after MSU, I predicted we’d finish at 15-16; so just making the dance would be an accomplishment. Making it to the second round or beyond would not be expected and would be all gravy. Bart loves gravy though.

I never doubted this team or White. Never.

Obsess all you want about the numbers. The Gators are going to try and win every game and let the chips fall there they may.

Exactly, two tough games coming after this one. The best and easiest way to nail down a bid is to win this one. Then LSU and at UK become for seeding.

I would prefer to be a 7 or 10, since UF probably can not get to 6 and 11 is cutting it a bit close on getting a bid. Still UF is 29th in both NET and Kenpom and after this UGa there are not many opportunities for UF to hurt its power rankings too much.

Of course we are all a bit flying blind in the first year of NET. Will the NCAA use it to pick teams or just to seed those that get in? And of course winning tonight is really the first step.
