Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida @ Georgia

We going to the tournament.

Further proof that Tim Brando is an idiot. And from looking at that Twitter string he appears bitter and possibly impaired. I love it when a Gator hater like this fool outs himself.

We should be a program that gets 20-24 regular season wins every year and be in contention for a top 4 seed every year with a Sweet 16 caliber type team every year just like under Billy D. Idk what coach out there would qualify and would come here but that is surely not MW so he MUST go this season.

I agree but risking the ire of some of the members here with short memories, how long did in take Mr. Donavon to build a year in, year out contender?

The difference was, after his 2nd season, that Billy Donovan's teams were consistently in contention for the SEC regular season title and had pretty much been a lock for the NCAA tourney from 1999-2007. Back then, we were only concerned about how high we'd be seeded. After Mike White's 2nd season, his teams have struggled mightily to get a sniff into the tourney.

Yes, we did suffer 5 straight 1st weekend eliminations under Donovan from 2001-2005.

Beating powerhouse Georgia should be a marker of coaching mastery.?

 

[MidwestChomp]

Brando thinks beating the worst team in the league is getting the team going? That's laughable.

 

[rogdochar]

How can it be a cap-feather for White to get his team to make a comeback from a team they never ever should have been behind in the first place.

Not only did he do it in only 3 years but he did this after inheriting a below average D1 roster.
CMW inherited a roster that even he was able to take to the elite eight in year two.

When it comes to gator basketball I have a very long memory.

How did he do in 2000? That was enough to buy time. And his recruiting gave us hope.

Also, he didn’t make the same mistakes every stinkin game, blowing a comfortable lead and losing because he coached scared. Nobody questioned if he wasn’t coaching up the players to their full potential. He used players’ strengths instead of the square peg, round hole method.

Little mikey has had 7 years to prove he belongs. He hasn’t. Period.

So flying fish only attend high schools.?

Even money line but Vandy FAVORED To win the game with a 54% chance in that weird gym of theirs. We don't shoot well typically so this is a HUGE trap game and possible disaster looming tonight.

 

[g8tr76]

The vandy game is a must win to set up the cats for the kill at Exactech and a 20-win regular season (wishful thinking).

But the 'dores want this game. vandy has lost its last 2 games, but a win tonight with only the rebs left of their schedule could give them a winning season record. Despite the SOTU, they will probably have memorial gym full to the rafters. The Gators will need to be solidly on their game to win this one!
