It’ll be close. All our games are. But I don’t think we have the horses to beat them.

I have a plan with my wife for a day trip from Boston to Maine (Maple Weekend). Happy the game isn’t at 2, but I wish it were at 7. I should be able to catch the start of the game.

Name and town if you wish to opine.

As usual our lack in big people will be a constraint, if we play good D and get hot shooting anything is possible.

We don’t have an answer for a 7’1” center who can pop 3’s all night. Deny deny deny.

Our hope is a hot shooting night.

Early line has Michigan favored by 7 points and given a 79% chance to beat UF. We basically have no chance to even be in the game. Can we pull off the monumental upset of the year? Go Gators!!

If we lose even a very close one it will be because Mike sucks.........

Michigan fans were cheering for Nevada last night, still bitter about their football team being humiliated, hope the basketball team can do the same.

If the line is 7 points, I think the Gators CAN win. I don't think it is as much of a longshot at 79% would seem to indicate. Gators style of play, while not pretty, at least keeps every game within reach until the end of the game, when anything can happen. I'd see it as closer to 65% chance of Michigan winning, which puts it in the same range as the odds of Florida beating LSU earlier in the season.

Meatchicken lost all three games vs Sparty, half of their losses.
Following the MSU game plan should be on the scouting report.

Any thoughts on the Hayes - Teske matchup or possible mismatch?
I see five of their six losses were in conference, was their non schedule very challenging? Someone please make me feel better about this matchup.

They had to vacate their Fab 5 final four appearances and we never had to?

They beat Nova and North Carolina early in the season. The beat USCe by 10 (our only common opponent). Their only bad loss is Penn State, which was a really bad loss.
This is going to be a tough game, but we need to get one against Meatchicken BB as our history is not good against them.

It's has always pissed me off how celebrated the fab 5 were despite never winning a damn thing vacated or not, especially compared to the 04's who went back to back.
