***Florida vs N. Florida NIT***

Although I'm like most and not all that thrilled about the win, it is a win and it can only benefit us come next year. Go Gators

It is surprising he isn't at least a 3 star based on size and athleticism.

Sarasota (my hometown) isn't a basketball haven by any stretch of the imagination, so that doesn't help him.

That might be it. Most kids by that point in their basketball career have developed a much better left hand. Watch the video and you'll see he goes to the right all the time, and he shoots right, even very close to the basket after spinning left. I only saw one left-handed shot.

IDK - Looking at the bucknuts roster, all their big guys are young and don't produce much. If that's the case, then I think we can match up with them without Bu. Hayes and Rimmer will have to play more (and be productive like they were against UNF), and we may need DFS and Leon to play the five if OSU goes small ball. It should be a good game - hopefully we can continue to shoot well, otherwise.....................

We can win with Rimmer and Hayes, but staying out of foul trouble on the road is going to be tough. Where do they get the officials to works these games? If it's a home cooking gang we are probably done.

In these regionals the chance of not getting burnt by home cooking is medium rare.

Well done!

The Zips did take OSU to overtime in their first NIT game. I suspect we are better than the Zips even without Egbunu. I just wonder if there will be a psychological let down for our guys.
