#1 Duke rallies, beats Gators 87-84

[SC Gator]

day off today but then Sunday at 10:30 PM start for these two east coast schools

We have the weapons but missing Egbunu may finally be felt if super Frosh Bagley gets his way underneath.

Need Egor to show flashes of first four games and Cheeze to stuff Dook Dick de jour Grayson Allen as much as possible.

Great start to season nonetheless.

And 0

Far too many "*" to start the thread title and none at the end of the title.

Duke is not a deep team playing essentially 7 players in an OT game against UTx. Of course UTx was essentially doing the same thing, so maybe they alter there substitutions against UF.

The same five players have started all six games for them. Three of their five players average 30 minutes a game. The two that play in the mid 20 minutes are their two bigs, who are 6'10" and 6'11" tall and Bagley averages a double double and is less than a rebound from averaging a double double.

Do we have a realistic shot?

Duke favored by 2.5 as of right now. If we are able to keep knocking down shots, feed the hot hand, and not allow so many points down low like we did vs Gonz then we have a chance. We played Duke tough last year but we have a different team so far this year. Should be another great early season test for our guys. 3 games in 4 days so we have to play tough and not be tired. Go Gators!!

Here's hoping a combo of Hayes & Gak can diminish Bagley?? Hell, run in C.Johnson, Stone et al to really bang him around, mean-style with White's permission. One cannot play nice with Duke.

If Koulechov and Allen bounce back in their shooting about as much as Chiozza and Hudson regress to the mean, then UF should be right there.

Attack the rim and make their big guy get into foul trouble. Oh wait, we're playing Duke? Forget the foul trouble comment, just shoot a lot of 3's.

Bagley is the key, guy is just a beast. "one cannot play nice with Duke" is exactly right

I hadn't been informed that I was playing the whole team, gonna have to go easy on them.

Actually, I see Carter as the real issue. Bagley will get his, but can UF contain Carter some. Also I can not see Koulechov playing the 4 much in this game when their 4 is 6'10" or 6'11" tall.

We play Duke tonight at 10:30pm? Isn't it funny how far down this thread was almost near the bottom of the first page? Nobody can ever say we're officially a basketball school. Our fans definitely care way more about football.
We might have the best basketball team in the country.

 

[DarksideGator]

The only thing that can take this sour milk taste away, will be victory tonight!

I expect a shootout, if 3Gor is back to making 3’s victory will be ours.

Pretty Please?!?!

 

[Frozen Gator]

Run'em silly, use our depth

 

[MertzJay26]

I’ll be up for it. Hope it’s as good of a game as the one vs the Zags was! Gotta limit their inside game and we have a good shot at the W

 

[AugustaGator]

I'll try to wake up...

 

[Rod Frazier]

Pumped for this game. Listening to some moody blue and genesis. Drinking some vodka 7up's. Don't know what to think about Mullen, but I know I'm enjoying Mike White.
