Florida takes on Missouri today at 6:30 PM EST on the SECN. Need to keep the momentum going. No idea what to expect at home vs a struggling team (lost 4 of 5). Seems like the classic White home loss coming here

The tigers will present a very formidable problem for us. They are an experienced team with only one freshman.

One of their guards, dru smith. physically tore us up last year. He is one pf those stud players who goes after it every play. He's their leading scorer and we've had a problem with 3 point shooters all year so this guy is hitting nearly 40% from 3. The Gators have got to know to stay on him and watch what he does with the ball because he also leads the team in assists. If he didn't play for mizz, he'd be fun to watch.

They also have a 6-10 guy who is shooting 65% for the year; mostly at the rim. I think he's like 270-280, and also very physical player. Castleton will have his hands full, but I think Castleton will do well because the rest of the team are not the bigs to double or triple team him. They do have a 7+ foot freshman, but he hasn't played much.

This is a winnable game for us: we should be better at driving layups and above the rim plays provided we can block the big guys out. If we hit our 3's, we should win by double digits. It should be a good game.

As long as we win!

Florida is down 10-9 at the under 16 timeout. Appleby 2 turnovers. 4 on the team already. Really bad defense as well

Mann with another turnover. Forcing things inside with bad passes isn't working

He can't even hit the rim now on shots he was pretty automatic on early this year and late last year

Yea but that’s never a good shot for him lol. Step back midrange 2s aren’t what we’re looking for from him (or anybody but Mann, really)
