Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** Florida vs UCONN

[LeeForThree]

Florida takes on top 5 UCONN tonight at 9 PM EST on ESPN2. Huge game and opportunity for a big win in the no conference

Go Gators!!!!

This would be a big win, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

I would like to think that this group has progressed enough to feasibly win this game but they just aren’t there yet.

I still see too many wasted possessions and blown assignments on defense to stop a really good team like UConn.

If we improve like we should we could see these guys again in March with different results but at this point, we will need a really hot shooting night to take the win.
Looking forward to watching tonight, which is a feeling I haven’t had in a while.

I will lug my ass in there tonight for this crappy late night for tv game. Probably keep me up way to late to watch us lose by 15.

 

[TLB]

Want the win. Don’t count on getting the win. (Flashbacks about a BB gun for Xmas when I was 5)

I’ll be flying home from TX during the game. I’ll keep fingers crossed for a nice surprise when I land.

Good luck, Godspeed, and Go Gators.

Home game? No such thing as an upset if you win on your home floor, Unless it is something like Chaminade vs. UVA circa a very long time ago.

 

[Jbossgator8]

UCONN is undefeated and ranked 5th in the Nation and favored by 3.5 points. We have ZERO chance to win this game unless we hit 10 or more 3s and Castleton goes off for 24 points and 12 rebounds and 5 blocks.

 

[FireFoley]

It's friggin college hoops JBoss. UNC was ranked #1 and 4 losses in a row later they are nowhere. Anything can happen in college hoops nowadays. It's a home game.

 

[LeeForThree]

Lofton is available tonight

 

[FireFoley]

Noah Locke plays for Providence?? Who knew? Dude must be 30 years old. Wasn't he on one of Billy's teams?

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 7-5 at the under 16 timeout. Kigel with a 3pter and Kowacie with a runner. Their big with 4 early points

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Getting exposed big time so far.
Sloppy offense and defense with the only question being which is worse

 

[NVGator]

We looking sloppy

 

[NVGator]

Down 16-6

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 16-6 at the under 12 timeout. 9-0 run for UCONN. Castleton just looks so bad to start. Everything he faces a competent defensive team/player

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida down 20-11. Their centers have like 13 pts, 10 rebounds, and great defense. Difference innthe game right now

 

[LeeForThree]

Golden went off on the refs for a flop called a foul on a 3pter

 

[LeeForThree]

Down 15
