Castleton has been MONEY all year averaging 15.7 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game. He had 19 points and 8 rebounds vs #2AU. Appleby a HUGE game with 26 points vs #2 AU, his 9th game in the last 10 scoring in double figures. Dawg shizzle boy Flem 3rd on the team averaging 10 points a game but its been his defense that has been STELLAR all season long. Just a HUGE team win but our guys just fought so hard like they have all year despite the lack of coaching.

As much as I don't like Mike White, I dislike sweaty Bruce even more although he's a solid coach. How he still has a job in college basketball is beyond me. Eff him. I am really happy with the win.

Bruce Pearl is totally mainstream today.

What exactly is cheating now?

How is he different than Bill Self or John Calipari or the beloved Coach K?

I think Pearl is a scum bag but the business is full of them but the others have better PR people.

Well, when you're actually CAUGHT... and then you're caught LYING ABOUT IT... TWICE in the span of a week or two... your character and integrity should be considered suspect for way longer than the 15 minutes it took for BSpn to hire him for his charisma.

Mike White has proved he is an average Coach and recruiter. I guess that’s enough for some people. I think Fl. Needs to part ways.
All that being said it felt pretty freaking good to beat that Sweaty ba§tard.

I would take gross, sweaty Bruce Pearl over squeaky-clean, skinny-jean wearing Mike White any day of the week. BP is a real coach. Gets the croots, coaches em up, yells at the refs, inspires the fans, wins games. Upgrade.

Once again a game played poorly and luck resulting in a win. So many shots so far off, so many mistakes. We need a new coach. Simple.
But they damn sure can play defense . That’s great coaching . Should they have won by 12 probably, but they are what they are . You will see offer next year but not as hard playing on the other end

About the time you think Mike White is close to putting it together and pulls you in a little the Gators chit the bed. Get ready to change the sheets.

Did you just accuse mw of “great coaching?” You’re either drunk or haven’t been watching what his teams have done for the last 6 years. His first year was an anomaly, probably because Cheese was still our PG.

Mike White, now there's one little sheet that definitely needs changing.

Noah Locke having quite the season for LVille. They are 2-10 in their last 12 games. His numbers have dropped considerably when he was supposed to have better coaching at LVille. Idk what has happened to him.

Not really, It was damn good D on Barn's last possession including the Dwag redeeming himself a little for the last loss. Now admittedly, letting them get to that point was ugly.
White called a timeout on a dunk, then they threw away the inbounds and gave Auburn a chance to win after being up 8 with 1:30 to go as well...ugly

While I agree they played good defense a team to be successful needs balance and ways to use their advantages consistently. Auburn is also not that great of a team based on their performance. They made several mostly unforced blunders. Now I generally don't blame the coach when players don't perform but after consistently not performing something needs to change if you want improvement. Thanks for the insight.

Florida fined $50,000. for fans rushing the court Sat.
Not sure we got our moneys worth on that one.

Another reason not to rush the court. is it that this team is so bad that the fans don't even have hope of winning so if they do a massive celebration is appropriate? I thought Gator fans were more rational than that.

Is the Nevada coach available yet? they are 12-13 right now so he might be had cheap and will probably recruit and coach better than MW. @NVGator how do you think he will do here at UF?

Just some Kids having fun, Spurrier himself wanted the fans to storm Fl Field , sometimes you gotta let loose.

PS : only problem I had is they half a$$ did it.
