Florida blows first game of SEC Tournament to Arkansas

[Frozen Gator]

Fair enough, but from everything I have seen this year, how UF does depends a lot more on UF than on who UF happens to be playing.

True

UK's Alexander first thing in post-game victory-interview to question: "To what do you attribute your team's sharp performance today?" "Well, we just wanted to play better than we did against Florida. We were too complacent against Florida."

On the plus side, teams seem to be shooting well in this arena. That suggest a ready UF team could have a good offensive night.

I beg to differ on this point Insti. Aside from MSUs first game and both the Bama games, nobody's shot better than 42% (ky).
UTs currently beating the previously hot shooting MSU 31-24 at the half and they're shooting 33% and 32% respectively. Let's hope the rims loosen up a little for the good guys in the night cap, but I suspect the better defense wins the game and that should be the Gators.

Ok, I did not look up the box scores, it was just based on my impression from watching the game. I am a big advocate of looking at the numbers to see what actually happened.

The most important thing to remember about this game is you won't think a bit about it Sunday evening.

There are some crazy tight rims just watching the first couple of days so far. Hopefully we swish

Go Gators!

Florida is up 13-10 at the under 16 timeout. Fast pace to start. Egor with 2 deep 3pters but missed an uncontested layup. Need to get locked in on defense

This is great to get the under 16 at 14 something on the clock. UF wants to wear these guys down this game.

They've hit some but the D is OK so far

Other than the wide open guard at the arc for their first bucket.

Florida is up 18-12 at the under 12 timeout. Slowed down a little on both sides the last 4 minutes. Some good d on both sides. Ballard still coming up short on 3pters

Ballard is in Francis-Ramirez territory in 3 point percentage now.
