Gator Basketball ***Official Game Thread*** Florida vs Kentucky

[LeeForThree]

Game is at 5 PM EST today on ESPN. Big time game. Without Keyontae we are going to have to fight down low and on defense. Need to show something since the last time we faced UK we blew a 20+ point lead in the 2 d half and lost

 

[rogdochar]

Our cause for hope is that UK has yet to gel and is losing more than winning (3-6)?
They've played a tough schedule.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

It really comes down to how ready/motivated we are to play well tonight.

Kentucky is just as capable of losing as winning

 

[Jbossgator8]

Not an easy game by no means. UK has been putting things together and starting to gel these past 2 games which were wins and shooting pretty good. They want to drive and get to the free throw line and the refs usually abide by that vs us. Throw out the records, game could go either way. White has not fared well vs Cal.

 

[rogdochar]

Could be our defining game.?

Could be our defining game.?

I don’t think so

One of the key attributes of White’s teams is inconsistency. Even if we played really well tonight and look like we’re getting it together, we could fall flat next week.

You can’t read anything into his teams

Gators up 10-5 with 16:28 remaining in the first half. Game delayed while net is being replaced due to KY players finger getting caught in the net, dislodging it.

Gators have looked pretty good, playing solid defense and sinking a pair of 3-pointers

 

[Jbossgator8]

Game now delayed due to UK player's finger getting caught in the net and pulling it loose. UF called for a HORRIBLE box out foul by the refs so you see how the game is getting called against UF early with 3 fouls on UF and NONE on UK now.

Seeing the same thing

REALLY tight whistle on one end of the court

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida tied 10-10

 

[LeeForThree]

Skipping under 16 timeout due to delay

UK with 8 straight

 

[Jbossgator8]

UK lighting it up early with lucky fade away desperate 3 pointers despite Gators good defense and hand in their faces

 

[Double Gator Dad]

It’s really frustrating to see how racism keeps Scottie Lewis from getting through picks and guarding his man

 

[Jbossgator8]

UK has played hot of late and has been gelling big time and it shows tonight. Refs helping BIG TIME so far too for UK. No surprise there. UF takes the ball to the run, gets absolutely MUGGED and thrown out of bounds, 4 UK players there and ball off them but called off of UF with no UF player in sight Lol, good lord refs

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Changing the net was fatal.

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 19-17 at the under 12 timeout. We have struggled to score and UK getting open shots and layups/dunks

Refs take advantage of weak coaches
Get in their faces if you want a fair chance

 

[LeeForThree]

Florida is down 24-20 at the under 8 timeout. Crap offense. Only thing we can shoot is contested step back jumpers

 

[LeeForThree]

Did Locke hit his head or did he suddenly remember he left the stove on at home? Kind of looked like the latter to me

Pretty big bump on his temple

 

[LeeForThree]

33-27 UK under 4 timeout. Just dominated right now. Everything is a challenge
