Just a thought, why not just one basketball thread for the entire season. seems silly we need a thread for each game with Lee4three having to update the score every five minutes and then nothing but complaining about how crappy we are as the game lingers on!

We're beatin' errbody, bring 'em on.

Got my tickets for the UGAy game the following weekend. Going to be in town so I'm going to see them play.

I always thought that the earlier a thread was started for an event meant there was tremendous excitement and interest in that upcoming game. Wednesday start thread for a Saturday night game. I had no idea men's basketball was on fire and headed to the final 4.

We should win comfortably. Golden has no trouble against bad teams. He’s just incapable of beating a ranked opponent.

Why not just let AI write the thread for us. Geez. Come on, Joe.

I thought the same thing FF. I'm, like, what I'd miss? Is there a Thursday night game? Did the drugs kick in and it's Saturday already? What happened? Why is Gatorchatter effing with my mind, man?

If we lose to Mizzou, I may just lose interest for the year.

UF spends 8.8 million on the basketball program. That is 12th in the SEC. We are one of only 3 teams in all of college basketball that spends less than 10 million dollars. UK leads the SEC at 22 million dollars.

This game could determine if we're one of the final four teams in or out of the tournament. Either way Golden is counting that as a trip to the Final 4. We'll get a banner to hang up and everything.

I can explain this.

During the Donovan era UF basketball was among the elite programs in the country and the only legitimate threat to the mighty wildcats in the SEC.

The success of the basketball program was throwing shade on the football program and more importantly on the women’s program. This was and still is unacceptable within the current culture.

Probably not true but why else would a “business” not invest in an area that was generating tremendous results?

We can’t play Richard and Micah starter minutes and expect to be consistent

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 6-5 at the under 16 timeout. Just slow on offense and no separation right now

Samuel needs less min as well

 

[LeeForThree]

Down 14-11 at the under 12 timeout. Almost everything tough and contested on offense

Crazy that our most consistent big is a freshman from Australia who is extremely new to basketball

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 22-20 at the under 8 timeout. Kugel and Clayton with 3pters

Handlogten just has to get uses to the speed of the SEC. Samuel needs to play smart and not crazy, Condon is going to be a force next year
