Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread*** Florida at Mississippi St

[LeeForThree]

Florida takes on Mississippi St. today at 4 PM EST on ESPN2. Going to need to play hard beginning to end. Scottie Lewis is out again

Wow so #7 Michigan goes into their game today @Minnesota favored by 6 points and Undefeated and no one has even come close and they are BLOWN away by Minnesota and Richard Pitino. Blown out by 20 points and not even that close. After we lose today, cause we are usually terrible on the road, I think that Pitino should be a guy we go get to replace MW next season. Anthony Grant also up there on the wish list too. Guys like Gregg Marshall are too risky. So is Archie Miller who has been mediocre at best at IU when it was thought we should get him here at UF.

Thanks!

Florida is up 6-4 at the under 16 timeout. Quick pace to start

 

[rogdochar]

Our 6'11" Collen Cumberbatch is decoding MSU's defense. He sure runs the court fast for a big man.

 

[LeeForThree]

Duruji out with 2 fouls already

 

[rogdochar]

Too many Gators putting up anemic shots.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is up 13-12 at the under 12 timeout. Locke bricking wide open 3pters

Our guy Appleby gets hit and smashed to the floor and way out of bounds and NO foul. On the other end we barely touch the guy and its a foul on us. WOW, home cooking big time

 

[Gatorbait25]

Looked like Appleby was tackled on the last drive . No call nor a stoppage of play as he lays on the ground in pain

 

[rogdochar]

Without Scotty Lewis is difficult.

 

[Jbossgator8]

We arent shooting well, shocker I know. MSU only has 2 guys scoring for them so far.

 

[Jbossgator8]

Road games are always tough especially if you aren't shooting well, which we aren't so that makes it very difficult to win and gives the home team a ton of confidence.

 

[LeeForThree]

Payne out with 2 fouls

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 18-17 at the under 8 timeout. Just abysmal offense

 

[Frozen Gator]

We seem to be standing around a little bit.

 

[rogdochar]

Our Ruzski needs to get good. Payne needs to deserve more playing time. The White-Payne relationship is constipated.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 26-24 at the under 4 timeout. Mississippi St is getting all their points down low and on offensive rebounds

We’re getting out hustled so far but we’re sticking around so
