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

[t-gator]

Thats where I am at. There are always teams stealing bids as well. May even need to win the SECT

Exactly. Truth is conference tourney wins don't usually move the needle much

 

[gatorcc]

Tourney win against UK would push the needle. Unfortunately I don't think we will see it.

 

[Born2beagator]

Nothing to see here. White got his one big win of the season already

 

[MidwestChomp]

That moment for KJ was pretty dang special. I could care less we lost because I expected the loss. I didn't expect KJ to take the floor and get the opening tip. If he can't play again I hope he becomes a coach.

This just in ... Actor Idris Ebin just signed to play the lead in "Pirates of the Carob Being". :cool:

I must not have been paying attention. I turned on the TV and Keonte was on the court for the tip and I thought he was going to play. I was going crazy. Then the balloon popped.

Bad news good news
Bad news: just saw the bracket for the SEC Tournament
Good news: Gators should get a first round home court in the NIT

 

[MertzJay26]

Florida Basketball Hour (these guys are plugged in) think we need 2 SECT wins to secure a bid. So we gotta beat A&M and Auburn. Not looking good

 

[aka]

Yawn

Remember when the big dance was an expectation, not just hope? Remember when getting a 10 seed was considered a down year? Good times...

I miss Billy.

I miss having an administration that at least pretended to care about the basketball program.

Castleton deserves better.

Castleton deserves better.

We deserve better as fans

Castleton deserves better.

He does.
Sad to say he's the only player I can think of who improved under Mike White. Everyone else regressed.

Most certainly Castleton's improvement comes from his personal devotion to his game. We know White cannot affect any inside player skills.
To me, White is sterile at coaching,- nonchalant at transferring the "how-to" of basketball. White relays zero "fire" into his players. He really only transfers the concept of fire to the fans.

Remember four straight Elite Eight appearances?
