Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread BBALL*** SEC Tourney - UF vs AU

[MJMGator]

A 6 or 3 doesn't matter. They face each other in round 2 anyway. I just don't want the committee to move us up to a 5

Lunardi now has us as a 5 seed.

Pat Dooley and Buddy Martin were right.

I am busy today rueing the fact that we chased Mike White away. Now I have to allocate time to paying attention to the NCAA Tournament instead of getting on with my life like I typically do in the back half of March.

You’ll be the only one! According to Karen here, everyone else will be watching the women’s tournament.

We just got thumped on the boards yesterday

I typically put this on as white noise as it helps me fall asleep quicker

It's bad enough when Karen has one article in the sports section. Today she has TWO! The other one basically says it's time to publicly fund women's sports stadiums for WNBA and soccer... of course there is no math/economics in the article (I mean, c'mon, she's a woman, their brains are demonstrably smaller and not good at math), her premise is basically, "men's sports are only popular because public funds were used to build large stadiums and if we built large stadiums for women, they'd be popular too!"

Go make me a sammich, Karen (but based on Karen's profile pic, I think her sandwich skills rival her logic skills).

Sunday 1PM on ESPN

No ESPN predictor yet, but I'm seeing UF +5.5

Yep we are +5.5 point dogs implied score AUB 81.5, FLA 76

If Auburn keeps us under 80 we’ll lose. That said, I like us scoring 90+ again and winning by double digits. Golden seemed really loose in his postgame interview and the team should be able to feed off that vibe.

 

[MidwestChomp]

We are projected #5 seeed

Lunardi now has us as a 5 seed.

Bracketmatrix still has us a #6.

Plus I think we had a mini wake up call in the first half. One thing is for sure. Mike white teams don't come back from down 18

Micah is really struggling right now and has all but disappeared. I don't know what happened. Is he playing hurt? Condon doesn't rebound as well as Micah. But, Micah hasn't been doing that either. So, he is effectively useless. Condon has basically taken Micah's minutes because his all-around game is so much better. Condon will be a beast if he can add another 10-15 pounds of muscle. We need Micah to get back to the way he played for most of the season. His last meaningful game was against Mizz.

I said after crushing Bama, “We gonna win this whole damn thing.” and I’m sticking to it.

Micah is only a 2nd year player still learning the ropes in the rugged SEC. He can't get a call to save his life; that's making him less confident and aggressive. Condon gets beat-up nearly every game and also can't get a foul call. It's just not a good time to be a tall white boy in college basketball right now.

Don't get me wrong, I love having all these talls. I'm sad ROG isn't still around to see the resurgence of bigs at UF. He was always begging for some 6'10 - 7' footers and now we have a stable of them with more on the way. Our roster is so deep, we may surprise some people in the National Tourney.

Sweet 16 or bust, baby!

Well then I have bad news for you. If we win this we are definitely getting at least a 5.

It does seem like the refs have a beef against him in this tourney.

We win today, we'll get a 4 seed
