Basketball team looks EXCELLENT, just excellent. They are going to surprise a lot of people this year and hopefully next year.

This team looks like a true contender. Totally dismantled a good AZ St team. If we beat NC I think this team might be a true contender for the Final Four in the NCAA tournament. Anything less than a Sweet 16 would be a disappointment with this team.

The defense is what impresses me the most. So much better than last year. They dominated the boards today and whipped up on a pretty good team. The 3 guards were very physical on both ends and they made their free throws. Excellent game. Tar Heels are next.

FINAL: No. 9 Florida 83, Arizona State 66 - Florida Gators

The Gators started 5-for-10 from the field overall and made 3 of their first 5 shots from the arc.
By the 4 minute mark, the Gators had taken the lead for good.
By the 8 minute mark, the Gators had a double digit lead.
With 11:31 left in the first half, the Gators were up 22-10 with much of the plaudits going to Richard and his 10 points. The lead got to 13 with 5:31 left in the half. At the half they led by 9 Pts, 41-32. Clayton, Martin, and Richard accounted for 32 of the 41 Pts.

Then they played even better in the 2nd half. They went on a 21-10 run, to bust open the game and give them a 71-45 plus 26 Pt lead with 9:57 remaining.

Did anyone else notice that on Richard's POWER dunk, the ball actually looped around and went through the hoop twice???
So maybe he should have gotten 4 Pts on that one..... 😉

UF 83 - 58 (+25) --- For a very nice 10 - 0 start to the season!

SEC is absolutely loaded in hoops this year. Hands down the best conference. Lunardi said he seriously thinks the sec will get 10 into the tourney.
