2021-22 Basketball Primer

OK - Back to the original purpose of this thread. The Gators beat 4-5 USF this afternoon 66-55 to improve to 8-3. After falling behind early, the Gators pulled ahead 30-18 at halftime, withstood a little Bulls surge in the 2nd half and won fairly easily. 6 Gators played 25 minutes or more and 9 players scored, led by Fleming & Castleton with 12 each and Duruji with 11. Florida outrebounded USG 45-27, shot 39% from the field and 80% from the foul line. They made 8-26 3's, with 12 assists to 17 turnovers. Ball handling remains an issue, but they won. Next up is Stony Brook at 2 pm at home on SEC+. SB is 6-4 with a game tonight. After that the Gators are off until 12/29 when they open their SEC schedule at Ole Miss at 5 pm on the SEC Network.

That was a chitshow from start to finish. They should have won by 20-30 poiints.
If it wasn't for the great players that chose to come to mighty UF, in spite of the crappy HC, they wouldn't have won a game all season.

Fire this chump now before it get's any more embarrassing for the true-blue Gator fans....

If I was only as bright and forward thinking as Mr Lizard and that Country genius, I'd have had a clue about how terrible of a HC that Mike White has always been. He's been a loser for his entire career.

I can't imagine why UF's former AD ever hire him to start with, or why the new AD gave him a raise and contract extension??? Both of those guys must be dumber than dirt (or me) to have made that huge of a mistake.

But hey, at least I'm smarter than those two millionaire AD's, because now I want White fired and run outta town, while they both apparently still like and fully support him.....

Maybe Mr Lizard and Genius Country can explain to me/us in detail, how they feel about those 2 Gator AD's,,, instead of just hammering on dumb ole me??? I didn't hire him or extend his contract....

Why, I want him to finish somewhere else because he certainly hasn't done a thing here to merit paying him. The AD should have already fired him, and you really smart guys should get on the ball with letting him know how you feel about it.

All righty, then. The thread topic is 2021-22 Basketball Primer. As of today, the NET D1 rankings are as follows:
With UF's win over USF we have moved up from #60 to #59. That is 7th best in the SEC. The SEC has 3 teams in the Top 10 - LSU, Tennessee and Auburn. UCF is #45 and we have powerhouse Stony Brook next on our schedule. Go Gators!!
 
Somehow we lost our early season identity. Maybe the shots will start falling, but highly doubtful. Defense and energy is how we win. Would be nice to find some momentum before heading off to Oxford.

One of this things that's hurting us so far this year, other than shooting deficiencies, especially 3's (30%), is the bad assist to turnover ratio, which has been a problem for several years. You just won't win enough games against quality teams when you're turning it over as much or more than you're feeding teammates for easy shots. Coaches ideally strive for a 2:1 ratio, but we're basically 1:1. Through 11 games we have 137 assists and 140 turnovers. Not gonna cut it. And this year, our schedule has not been a tough as in the past. We have played only 2 Quad 1 games and are 1-1, have no Quad 2 games so far, are 2-2 in Quad 3 games and 5-0 in Quad 4 games. A prior poster mentioned that LSU hasn't played anybody, but they are 1-0 in Quad 1 games, 3-0 in Quad 2 games, 4-0 in Quad 3 games and 3-0 in Quad 4 games. Our SOS is still pretty good, #24 as of this morning, but It's the NET that the selection committee now uses and we're sitting at #59. We're going to have to play above .500 in the SEC to make the tournament this year, IMO.

UF Women's Basketball beat 8-3 Murray State today 67-51 to finish the non-conference part of their schedule 10-3, the best start to a season in many years. The Gators are a young team with 2 highly touted recruits coming in next year. While they're not going to win an SEC title this year, they seem to be much improved and on the right track under interim coach Kelly Rae Finley.

Abstract​

Background: We systematically assessed benefits and harms of the use of ivermectin (IVM) in COVID-19 patients.
Methods: Published and preprint randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing IVM effects on COVID-19 adult patients were searched until March 22, 2021 in five engines. Primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, length of stay (LOS), and adverse events (AE). Secondary outcomes included viral clearance and severe AEs. Risk of bias (RoB) was evaluated using Cochrane RoB 2·0 tool. Inverse variance random effect meta-analyses were performed. with quality of evidence (QoE) evaluated using GRADE methodology.
Results: Ten RCTs (n=1173) were included. Controls were standard of care [SOC] in five RCTs and placebo in five RCTs. COVID-19 disease severity was mild in 8 RCTs, moderate in one RCT, and mild and moderate in one RCT. IVM did not reduce all-cause mortality vs. controls (RR 0.37, 95%CI 0.12 to 1.13, very low QoE) or LOS vs. controls (MD 0.72 days, 95%CI -0.86 to 2.29, very low QoE). AEs, severe AE and viral clearance were similar between IVM and controls (all outcomes: low QoE). Subgroups by severity of COVID-19 or RoB were mostly consistent with main analyses; all-cause mortality in three RCTs at high RoB was reduced with IVM.
Conclusions: In comparison to SOC or placebo, IVM did not reduce all-cause mortality, length of stay or viral clearance in RCTs in COVID-19 patients with mostly mild disease. IVM did not have an effect on AEs or severe AEs. IVM is not a viable option to treat COVID-19 patients.

So, you're claiming that nobody should trust the NIH - National Library of Medicine?

And that a Nobel Prize winning medicine that's been in use for decades is not a credible medicine, because it can also be used as a horse de-wormer?
(do idiots like you believe that he was given the Nobel Prize for Medicine because it can de-worm horses?)


What you're forgetting (or trying to avoid admitting to) is that both me and an older sibling have both already used Ivermectin successfully.
I'll trust my own personal experience over any other source.

But here is yet another source for your dumbazz to try and diss on.
==========

From the American Journal of Therapeutics

Repurposed medicines may have a role against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The antiparasitic ivermectin, with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, has now been tested in numerous clinical trials.

We searched bibliographic databases up to April 25, 2021. Two review authors sifted for studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted and certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach and additionally in trial sequential analyses for mortality. Twenty-four randomized controlled trials involving 3406 participants met review inclusion.

Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin
(average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence). This result was confirmed in a trial sequential analysis using the same DerSimonian–Laird method that underpinned the unadjusted analysis. This was also robust against a trial sequential analysis using the Biggerstaff–Tweedie method.

Low-certainty evidence found that ivermectin prophylaxis reduced COVID-19 infection by an average 86%
(95% confidence interval 79%–91%). Secondary outcomes provided less certain evidence. Low-certainty evidence suggested that there may be no benefit with ivermectin for “need for mechanical ventilation,” whereas effect estimates for “improvement” and “deterioration” clearly favored ivermectin use. Severe adverse events were rare among treatment trials and evidence of no difference was assessed as low certainty. Evidence on other secondary outcomes was very low certainty.

Conclusions:

Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

Those making Billions off the ignorance of taxpayers really hate Ivermectin.

So yep, you're Stu-pid, or you're one of the ones on the fraud vax gravy train.
 
The 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded to William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ömura for their discoveries leading to ivermectin [1]. In addition to its extraordinary efficacy against parasitic diseases, ivermectin continues to offer new clinical applications due to its ability to be repurposed to treat new classes of diseases. Beyond its invaluable therapeutic role in onchocerciasis and strongyloidiasis, an increasing body of evidence points to the potential of ivermectin as an antiviral agent.

Ivermectin treatment was shown to increase survival with the pseudorabies virus (PRV)
It has antiviral efficacy in dengue virus.
It was also identified as a promising agent against the alphaviruses chikungunya, Semliki Forest and Sindbis virus, as well as Yellow fever.
It presents strong antiviral activity against the West Nile virus, also a flavivirus,
This drug has further been demonstrated to exert antiviral activity against Zika virus (ZIKV)

Recently, Caly et al. reported on the antiviral activity of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 [9]. These authors demonstrated that a single dose of ivermectin was able to reduce the replication of an Australian isolate of SARS-CoV-2 in Vero/hSLAM cells by 5000-fold.

So much for the idiot's diss on a horse de-wormer....
 
This thread was started to keep track of the Gator basketball team's progress through the current season. INSTA & Lizard, can ya'll call a truce and get back on subject? I'll probably get attacked from both sides, but people are passionate on what they believe. Much more fun to argue Mike White and Gator basketball. Am I wrong?

Well, Insta can believe anything he likes. Doesn't make it true. And Ivermectin is a fantastic drug for dealing with parasites, nobody disputes that. It just doesn't do anything for COVID, no matter how many flawed studies and how much bad data he posts. It is what it is.

But sure, let's discuss Mike White, another topic, like all topics, where Insta knows he's wrong, but gets some kind of perverse pleasure in arguing the losing side.

Mike White isn't a good enough coach to be at UF, and needs to go. All that needs be said on that.
 
And again, Little Loopy Lizzy is just as genius smart as he's always been, and quick to show how open he is to confronting reality, about Mike White, Ivermetin, or on any other subject. I'd probably be smart to return him to IGNORE, but,,,, we'll see how much of his gross village idiot stupidity I can stand before doing so....
