****Official Game Thread: UF vs. Mich St. (BB)****

[GatorBart]

Interesting stat as UF faces No. 1 Mich. St. tomorrow. UF is 2-13 all time vs. No. 1 opponents. The two wins being against Duke and the Bucknuts in the NCAA tourney. All 13 losses were to Kentucky (10 regular season, 3 in the SEC tourney). We've never beaten KY when they were No. 1.
So we've only ever beaten a No. 1 opponent when we're in the tourney. Can we change that tomorrow? Doubtful.

I love Florida basketball, but they aren't winning on the road in Izzo land. While I think White will work out at UF, Izzo probably could out-coach him blindfolded.

Izzo won't need to coach at all. Maybe he'll give White some of his own medicine and just let the guys go out there and play street ball.

Or you could say we only beat #1's outside of our conference.

It's probably gonna be tough to watch us get our asses handed to us but I'll have it on.

I like your thinking.

MSU shoots 49.7% FG ... 72% FT ... 40% 3pt. Bet they've played a tougher schedule.
Our shooting % is about 10% lower across the board. Let's hope our guards can & do
feed Egbunu and Hayes inside.

Don't get your hopes up Rog. We'd have a better shot if DFS was doing this.

Right Midwest. DFS can drive to score and dish off. Don't want our guards stalling among
the talls of MSU.

The last time we played Michigan State the unranked Gators coming off of two straight NIT appearances stunned the #2 Spartans 77-74 in Atlantic City.

I know you sometimes get confused with thread titles Bernny, so I wanted to make sure you know this game isn't being played in Atlantic City or any other neutral site. It's at Michigan St. Home court. They are a 9.5 pt. favorite. I think they'll cover that.

That's the spirit!

Good luck to us. We're going to need it.

I just hope for a competitive game.

I think UF needs to keep it low scoring to have a chance. So far, that's what we're getting

Our inability to ever get the ball to fall through the round hoop thing is mind-boggling.

2 for 12 so far, many from inside 5 feet from the hoop.
