Oh hell yeah. 3.5 hours from me. I might call in sick :)No game time announced yet, but it’s in Des Moines, so Central time.

Love seeing our guys reaction and excitement to getting into the tourney. Obviously much better than the alternative to not getting in. It will be a great experience for our guys to play on the big stage and provide great experience for our young guys who are the future of the program. Go Gators!!
I expect Florida to win this one. Nevada is another Guard heavy team that shoots the 3 ball. The losses they’ve taken this year have been against teams that play great defense. Florida will lock them down, frustrate them from making shots and it will be one and done for this team with extremely high expectations.
If it turns to UF 'cruising' to a win, well our guys deserve that break. Gators have faced so many fiercely contested games battering them down the stretch. Good guys deserve a 'breeze-game'. Hope everyone plays their best teammated game, with enough joy to go around -- a relief of pressure on them all = including coach White. Make it a non-choking game for us fans to watch too.
"Thursday-come-soon".
Nevada only has 1 bad loss - to New Mexico. Their other 3 losses were to NCAA tourney teams - Utah St. & San Diego St. twice. They made the Sweet 16 last year and even though their SOS, NET, RPI, etc. isn't up there with Florida's, we did lose 15 games and they won 29. It's apples and oranges and you can't really compare until they meet on the court. That's what makes March Madness so interesting.
Another interesting fact that someone on ESPN mentioned yesterday is that their average age is 23.5 years old. Comment was that they are as old as some NBA teams. Not sure about that but their better players are transfers.
