***Florida vs West Virginia BBALL Game Thread***

We just may make the big dance this year

Florida wins 88-71. Great game all around minus 1 4 min stretch. We could win it all if we just played like that every game!!!!

Haha. Coach has been great, but at times he doesn't recognize what is going on until it's too late. He made an adjustment, but it was clear what needed to happen...Way before he did it.

I liked our chances in this one from the start. We want to play fast.

Fla put their foot on WVU's throat today and never took it off. WV never had the lead in the game. Huge win for MW. This team is gaining confidence and we can all see better shooting, I like that White played so any players and they PLAYED well. Kruger had success by playing so many here.

Mic drop...love it

I think Michael White wins an SEC championship before Jim McIlwain does.

Taureen Green tweeted on how "nice" it is to see these Gators slam a WVU team putting
out so much pregame trash-sqauwk . Good to know Gator-greats are tuned in. ...
White played lots of players but still we even were without Justin Leon (concussion).

>> PS coach White: try to get this type team on-court from now on.

Was at the game, WVU has some classless fans for sure. They were laughing every time our guys caught an elbow, kept talking trash about how bad the SEC was.....as they were getting stomped. I just heard on the postgame that Hill broke his nose early and still played the whole game. That was a tough group out there today. It felt great to hear the S-E-C chants at the end

As others have hinted, there were a few other factors besides Hill. Foul trouble (sucky refs) forced White to go deeper with the bench. wvu took advantage, but UF never lost the lead and built it back up. They showed energy and grit. I hope they can maintain that level for the rest of the year!

Chomptown et al Again ... a salute to all GC-players who showed up at this game.
Thanxall ... jeez, that sounds like a pharmacy ... rightfully so with all our laxity.

Yay, we are great again!

Good win. Not sure how big of a signature it give us but a solid win over the #9 team in the country. Vegas had WVU as only a 1 point favorite so they felt it was an even match.

Not going to knock the refs. I've never heard anyone comment on how great the refs do.

Nah, they had good fans. I was there and they were decent people. They did have a LB that jawed at Eric Rhett the first play and after that Rhett talked to him all night. Now the first time the played us in Atlanta in the Peach Bowl that was another story. Still good fans but they whooped us good.

Nothing real shocking about that. Winning an SECC in BB doesn't mean much unless you follow it up with at least 4 wins in the Tournament. Winning it in FB puts you in the final four.
