Gators up by 20 (39-19) at the half over Missy State. Shooting the ball externally well. Let's keep this rolling!

The old ladies birthday and just got back from dinner. Good to see the boys are playing well. Go Gators!

On the Sunshine Network (653 on directv) if anyone's interested.

gone cold now but still up by 20. MSU guy hits a beyond half court shot at the end of the half.

Yeah, that shot was crazy. Glad it didn't mean anything in the outcome.

The intensity has been there the whole game...maybe Billy finally has their attention.

Undefeated in SEC play.

Yep...one of their best games to date. This team lacks confidence and gets really tight when it's close. Seems to be a lid on the bucket when it counts.

 

[MJMGator]

Nice job. Played well from start to finish for their 23rd consecutive SEC win.

Eli Carter got 20 and DFS got 16. We need at least 2 high scorers in that range. It's amazing how useful Kurtz is to our team.?

TA&M tied UK in regulation but got outscored by 6 in OT.

We're a different team when Carter is healthy. He's a pretty good shot creator. The ball moved very well. That lead to some buckets and when we score,we can set up at
our press and when we are able to set up our press we get turnovers. I pretty much liked what I seen from everyone tonight. 2-0 in conference play is nice. Let's hope this built some confidence.

1 home win and 1 road win. When conference play was still 16 games I remember Billy saying, several years ago, he wants to shoot for winning all home games and half the road games. If he does that in the 18 game schedule UF gets to 13 or 14 wins in conference. It's a possibility, but would be tough. Hopefully Mr. Glass is healthy from here out and Horford has his head on straight.

Carter seems to have been the missing piece. I love Walker's hustle and focus now. Carter may be the one that gets us over the hump in close games.

Couldn't watch last night but DVR'd. Looks as if they really played focused and together. There is going to be some learning curves with this group and chemistry development. Hopefully this was another step in that direction.

It looks like we have 3 legit scoring threats now - Carter, Finney and Frazier which is a good sign and Horford can score a little. I was hoping Hill would get his shooting act together but he hit his first 3 I think and then missed like his next 5 or so. If Hill could hit some shots this team could be really good I think.

Hill's strength is in his ability to drive and get out in transition. His jump shot has a loooooong way to go.

 

[VulcanAlex]

Still plenty of room for improvement, perhaps with all the pieces we can have a good team.

 

[stephenPE]

Hill had one great transition. In heavy traffic he went behind the back and then again and then a pass for a three. Shoudla been a sports center play.

3-ball falls a lot easier when you are up by twenty.

Murphy has good energy and skills too. He'll contribute
