Gator Basketball Gators blow late double-digit lead, lose to Kentucky at home

[LeeForThree]

Florida is at home Saturday to take on Kentucky at 4 PM on ESPN. This might be the biggest game of the year. It is a home game vs essentially a top 5 Kentucky team that has been rolling once SEC play started. They are big, fast, athletic, and a terror on defense. This will be our biggest challenge of thebuest due to the size difference. We have to play as a team, play like the start of OT last night, and score, score, score. Most importantly though, rebound and defend as a team

Go Gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TCU out rebounded UF by 12, UMiss out rebounded UF by 14. This must stop or UF will have trouble going forward.

I used to never fear the kitty cats because Calipari would always get out coached by Billy. I used to.....

Updated bracketology from Lunardi has us as an 11 seed in a play in game .
I believe ten conference wins will keep us in this general area (6-5 over the last 11 games).
A 7-4 finish likely has us in the 9-10 seed range. 8-3 probably around a 6 seed as we were
a year ago. Of course a losing record down the stretch (5-6 or worse) means we won't be dancing.
I believe we will steal one on the road ( Auburn ), and end up a 10 seed at 19-12.

We have a TOUGH stretch of games ahead in the final 11 games that includes the 3 hottest teams in the league, LSU, UK, and Tenn. We play 5 games vs them so that is most likely 5 losses. Also throw in road games @ Bama and Auburn so we most likely finish 4-7 and 16-15 and in the NIT. I really hope I'm wrong and we can show that we can win some more close games at the end...

But a dislike?........

Yes I did and I was pleasantly surprised by the two wins and I hope we win tomorrow. I used to believe we would win now I hope we win. And remember Red, hope is a good thing

Gotta win this game, or we could be on a 3 game losing slide with @UT and Barn next week.

It's gonna be an asswhooping. But I remember several years under Billy when I knew we were gonna get our asses handed to us by Kentucky.

Great quote from one of my all time favorite movies.

As for tomorrow, unfortunately I don’t have a lot of hope that we win. But I hope I’m wrong.

Go Gators!
