***Florida vs LSU BBALL Game Thread***

[Gator Fever]

Nice win. I cant believe it our guards actually hit a shot or two this game. First time in a long while.

HUGE win by our guys. Gotta be able to make more 3s and free throws though. We made them when it mattered most though. We played tough D and the result was an SEC win. Hopefully we can be more consistent throughout the season. Coach White showing some fire while coaching on the sidelines there. Go Gators!!

Sometimes hustle beats talent. Our boys need to learn from this.

Our midline negates talent.

I hope this win sparks the Gators to 20 plus wins. Simmons is special. Too bad Billy didn't get him. Why LSU for basketball for a kid from Florida?

That likelihood isn't completely erased with Wednesday's events, but Simmons' signing is an indication of his commitment to play at least a year at LSU, where his godfather David Patrick is the associate head coach.

Ben's godfather David Patrick is an assistant coach at LSU. Interesting, huh?

Nick Calathes. Unreal court vision, good shooter, could get in the lane, could make a FT. Couldn't play D, but he was good.

Never saw a kid drive the lane so well only to miss a lay up. Happened way too often.

Have you seen kasey hill play?

Have you seen kasey hill play?

Yeah, but Calathes did a better job of getting to the hoop. Probably because he could hit a shot from time to time.

Hill is just awful.

Calathes averaged about 17 points per game and 71% from the stripe. He was light years better than Hill on offense.

We get it, you are both athletic supporters.

I remember Nick Calathes for two things. The first is leaving for the NBA early when he had no business doing so. The second is going to the free throw line for three shots, down three at UK, and missing all three of them.

So, the wife points out to me yesterday that the Gators played that afternoon and asked if I wanted to watch. Of course, knowing LSU beat KY and how we struggled with TN I said not only "No" but "Hell No! We have no chance to win, let's spend time with the kids." She asks "Dont you even want to record it in case we win so we can watch it later?" And I quickly respond "We have no chance. Not worth it."

I should work for Gatorsports, but I can't put up the required typos and mistatements without research.

With this in mind....anyone know where I can watch a replay online?

 

[GatorBart]

Yep, Kenny Boynton. Ugly, ugly shot. If the first three went in watch out. If he missed the first one we were in for a rough ride. He was a good defender and that's why Billy D let him jack up threes because he could shut down guys.

Scored a lot of points, but at a crappy %. His sophomore year was his best. At least he could make FTs and he was a good defender.

Sorry, I looked but could not find.

The kid did wilt under pressure. That's why a freshman Erving Walker started taking shots at the end of games.
