2024-25 Basketball,,, all things considered...
- Thread starter instaGATOR
- Start date
The next 5 games is the only stretch of games in our SEC schedule that don't look really tough on paper. Arkansas lost their first 2 SEC games but did beat Michigan this season. Hopefully we can go 5-0 in this stretch.
Win at home, try to scratch out a few road wins. It's going to be really hard to win SEC road games this year, as Tennessee & Kentucky found out Tuesday night.
I agree with Ocala. Defend the home court, and try to pick up 1 or 2 wins on the road. Again, 9-11 wins in conference will get you a good seed.
Right. I think UF and Auburn are built for better success on the road than most of the rest. I would include Tennessee but their offense is suspect.
Winning games like @ Arkansas are key to having a chance to win the regular season SEC which should be a lock to get a 1 seed.
Gator women get handled by Kentucky. https://floridagators.com/news/2025...tucky-after-second-half-comeback-attempt.aspx
I wish that the Gators could ever get a Lady Gator PG like Caitlin Clark...
(or a Men's type of Clark PG for that matter....)

We must have done Miss State a favor when Stricklin became our AD. Can't wait for UF to bring in an actual President.
Not if UF appoints a competent president. Lagway can save Napier but he won't save anybody else there. Napier is not the only hire he screwed up in Gainesville.
Yes, this Gator team is for real. Now let's beat the hell out of Caliipari and his hog team.
We're getting this win against Arky but on the road I cringe when Aberdeen touches the ball.
Good showing on defense and Condon got things going pretty good after a while.
Ugly foul fest, but the Gators pulled out an SEC road win. Doesn't matter how, they got it done. You're right Fever, Condon had a great 2nd half. Clayton is not himself lately, but Martin was steady until fouling out and Richard had a good 2nd half. Aberdeen is streaky and dribbles it around way too much. But he's a tenacious defender and has had some really good games for us.
Golden has a good bench this year to rotate in and out and it showed today with the foulfest
Yes with three fouling out and the game still in doubt we had no drop off. Love this team. They can play any style you want and beat you.
Top takeaways from Florida's low-scoring win at Arkansas on Saturday
Winning on the road in the SEC is never easy, and it took until the final minutes for Florida to put Arkansas away on Saturday.

That asshole is an idiot, if this is true. If this was a decision by the finance comittee, that's one thing, say so. But it sounds to me Stricklin has zero common sense awareness and was happy to peddle tickets for full price vs student pricing. Also, haven't students been on campus when this gamed was played? Almost all of the public schools were back as of Monday, the 6th. Damn.
This team looks really good, maybe the best since the 04's. This team is deeper than the 04's. 12-6 in the conference is doable, and possibly better without any injuries which always seem to plague us.
My daughter doesnt go back to Ole Miss until January 21st so I would assume Florida kids would still be out also but dont know for sure
Any road win is a great win. Take it and move on. If we can pick off another 1-2 road wins and defend home court, we will be in great shape.
I don't know about that. I see him and Aberdeen sharing that award, as both have been excellent, just as I expected them to be early on.... They play different positions so stats are also different.
But if it turned out to be Haugh edging him out by season's end, I wouldn't have much of an argument on it.

Stats in the big win vs #1 Tennis-sea:
Aberdeen 20 Min - 16 Pts, 5/11 FG, 2/4 3's, 4/5 FT
2 Rb, 2 PF, 0 ast, 1 TO, 0 Blk, 1 Stl
Haugh 22 Min - 7 Pts, 2/5 FG, 0/0 3's, 3/4 FT
3 Rb, 2 PF, 2 Ast, 1 To, 0 Blk, 1 Stl
They were also fairly close vs Ark, with Haugh slightly better, before he fouled out.
If varies game to game and opponent to opponent.

However, Condon was certainly the iG"s P of Gm today.
Condon 26 Min - 12 Pts, 4/7 FG, 1/1 3's, 3/5 FT
10 Rbs, 3 PF, 4 Ast, 0 TO, 3 Blks, 0 Stl, for a Double/Double.
