Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread*** Florida @ Alabama

[LeeForThree]

Florida takes on Alabama tonight at 7 PM EST on ESPN2. Tough road test before the UK game Saturday

 

[RiverRat]

Looking forward to this game.
Florida has been a pleasant surprise so far without K.J. if they can win this game on the road it would be a big step forward.
Go Gators!

 

[MidwestChomp]

This will be a tough one. Bama just lit up Tennessee at Tennessee. Go Gators!

Castleton’s domination of the SEC continues.

 

[Nalt]

I am not sold on Bama actually being a good basketball team. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every so often...

 

[Towels 'N Sporks]

It's a rarity that I've enjoyed watching two of our basketball games in a row. The effort and the confidence has been high. I'm totally ready to come crashing back down to earth after watching this game, but I would love to see coach white make me eat my words.

I've always been of the opinion that you can either crumple under traumatic events or let it make you stronger. I would love to see this team maintain their focus all year and play every game like it's their last like they have the last two. They will be a final 4 team if they can manage that.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 8-7 at the under 16 timeout. Back and forth to start

 

[LeeForThree]

They are driving on us at will

 

[LeeForThree]

Mann hurt on blindside screen

 

[rogdochar]

All Bama has to do is drive and they get the call.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 18-14 at the under 12 timeout. Mann back with some good plays and Locke hit his 2nd 3pter

 

[Frozen Gator]

Did espn pipe in the Alabama Radio Network to call the game?

 

[rogdochar]

Unless in foul trouble shouldn't Castleton nearly always be in there?
Hope our defense flummoxes Bama.

 

[MertzJay26]

REBOUND.

 

[LeeForThree]

Getting owned in the paint

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 22-21 at the under 8 timeout. Struggle on both ends st the moment. Gave up like 6 offe side rebounds in a row and Alabama is scoring at will inside

 

[maheo30]

For those wondering why Payne doesn’t see more minutes, you are getting a front row seat. He plays when he feels like it. And he is allergic to blocking out.

 

[rogdochar]

Not going to win if keep getting knocked out of the play inside.

 

[MertzJay26]

Ugly first half all the way around

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Turnovers, open threes, and endless offensive rebounds.
Is this the same team we watched last week?

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 29-26 at the under 4 timeout. Offense has gone downhill when Mann and Lewis (fouls) have been on the bench
