2024-25 Basketball,,, all things considered...

Okay ocala, I'll bend over backwards and say this, I hope that he's clean as a whistle, and if not, then I hope that a judge someday gets a chance to say, "Wack his PeePee"....

But either way, I spend little to no time of mine thinking about what he does or has done off the court.
Good enough?

 

[instaGATOR]

Moving right along, how about what 60 Minutes is talking about?



What is the WNBA worth? So why do they claim to not be making any money?
By Gawd, some'freakin'body is making money....

The wnba lost nearly $40m in 2024...it has never turned a profit. Numbers don't lie, people do. All you have to do is look at their financials. Remember, they are subsidized by the nba.

NBA Owners Furious With WNBA For Losing More Money During Most Popular Season

The WNBA is coming off of its most-popular season in league history with the arrival of Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and the rest of the 2024 rookie class.

Wrong. A Final Four is a huge achievement in basketball...

TF? We better win this one! 😂 Remember how horrible our baseball team of all stars played last year until the playoffs? We damned barely made it in. And we should have won that sucker. Take this thing and go 6-0. I don't give a damn if we lose our first SEC tourney game. It does not matter.

The situation with Golden is somethng he chose not to talk about publically in regards to the specifics of what exactly happened and I won't do it on an open forum.

I respect him for not falling in the the pit of airing it out in public. He was exonerated.

I’ve been watching the replay of our game vs A&M. I know Ron Slay is a volunteer but man I love his enthusiasm for the game. I usually watch the broadcast and listen to Sean and Lee.

Did you get to watch the Bama UT game? I think Dicky V did the color for the game. I miss that old retarded coot, even though he's about lost his voice.

Florida’s offensive profile is excellent overall, especially when factoring in opponent strength. But Florida has endured issues at the foul line this season, which could be a problem if the Gators get into a tight game in the postseason. Florida ranks poorly in both free throw percentage (218th) and free throw attempt rate (232nd) this season.

This is an issue that has loudly showed up in Florida’s 4 losses this season. The Gators shot a combined 65.8% from the charity stripe in defeats to Kentucky, Mizzou, Tennessee and Georgia. The Tennessee game got out of hand early. But Florida’s other 3 losses this year came by a combined 12 points. Florida missed a whopping 34 free throws in those 3 contests. If UF loses a stunner in March, the free throw line will likely be a big reason why

Would be nice to win the whole thing but this team will go down as one of our better teams if they make the Final Four. I think Golden would be only the 3rd coach here to have done it.

Agreed.

Barring Houston getting upset it's looking like we can end up either the #1 seed in the Midwest or a #2 seed in either the east or west. If we lose @Bama and TN beats Ole Miss I think we will probably get screwed and be the #2 seed in the west instead of the east. I think the committee wouldn't care much if Bama loses their last game @Auburn.

The Aggies team we just dominated just dismantled Auburn from start to finish, the score was never even as close as the game played out either.. It's hard to beat down a team with as much size and ability from guards like Taylor for them like we did, much less beat them on the boards.. I think they are the best rebounding team in the nation and they just put it on display big time against Auburn.. Auburn and Duke are good but the way they've been talking about them as if they're unbeatable has gotten really old fast, especially Duke. They have 3 freshmen starting, I would LOVE to play them especially more than anyone..

I don't think we will win tomorrow because of playing Bama on the road after a loss but if Ole Miss could beat Tennessee then things could get interesting..

Think of this…Auburn just clinched the SEC They play their hated rival Saturday. They face a physical and desperate A&M team on the road. This was the ultimate trap game.

Yep if we lose @Bama and TN loses @Ole Miss things will get interesting as to who is higher in the pecking order in the #2 seeds.

I think the best approach to Auburn is kind of how we played them. Don't get overly concerned with Broome and make sure their guards don't start teeing off on you. It seems when they roll a lot of teams the other teams were too worried about Broome.

Aggies were real desperate coming into Gainesville too

 

[gatordad3]

I swear Bama fans are so effing stupid that they just need to stick to watching football. They also better enjoy Nate Oats as he could be a top candidate to replace Hubert Davis at UNC.

 

[NavigatorII]

Just popping in and out so no jinx happens being here on game day. Looking good for the Gators not being in a damned 15 point hole at halftime. We damned sure need to start shooting 70 percent at the foul line though. I don't get that. Condon shoots 3s better than free throws.

 

[Gator Fever]

I will take that score at halftime. If Richard can start hitting his shots we can win this game.

 

[46885]

3-14 from 3 at half.. have we had a game that bad from the three this year?

We're dominating them mostly and on boards but turning the ball over with 3 on 1's in transition missing bunnies and WIDE open looks.. We are 20-0 with the lead at half this year, I just don't see it.. We'd have to hit 6-7 plus threes in the 2nd half with the way this is going so far...

It's like watching a game at the new Rupp now that they think they are important in basketball...

 

[gatordad3]

In other basketball news, Miami expected to hire Jai Lucas as HC. He played for UF for one season then transferred to TexAss.

Condon hitting his free throws.

the free throw line will likely be a big reason why

Against Bama, Haugh and Condon make critical free throws, but Clayton and Martin missed front end of free throws, still up 5 with 40 seconds left.

 

[gatordad3]

Nate Oats is Mike Whiting by calling a TO with 1.7 seconds down by 5.

 

[Gator Fever]

If TN loses @Ole Miss we are in the driver's seat for a # 1 seed I think.

Eff him. That was a great road win. Our guys are seriously good. They even did okay at the charity stripe at the end of the game which was essential with the Elephantards needing to foul every play the last 2 minutes of the game.

 

[46885]

**** alabama.. I don't think it's possible to love a team more than I do this one, they've done more in a regular season at least than any Gator team ever.. If this team isn't in the Final Four it would be a complete TRAVESTY, They are that good.

Definitely the hardest schedule. The 2nd year of the back to back champs it seemed like they just took a few games off but the SEC was nothing like it is now.

Golden clearly out-coached that entire Bama staff, and UF once again had to battle against the refs in an inbred, yet hostile environment.

I'm pretty sure without even another win Saturday or in the SEC tournament they've already passed the 04s and 05s for best regular season.

WTF is Tennessee getting all the 1 seed hype? What quality wins did they get that we didn't?

 

[NavigatorII]

We've beaten TWO number ones and what were the elephants ranked tonight? I don't get it either.

 

[gatordad3]

Oh, and we effed up their senior night.

 

[Gator Fever]

WTF is Tennessee getting all the 1 seed hype? What quality wins did they get that we didn't?

They have a crap load of Quad 1 wins and if Miss loses to TN they won't be a Quad 1 win for us most likely. Even if TN gets it we locked in the #2 seed in the East I would think.

 

[46885]

Golden clearly out-coached that entire Bama staff, and UF once again had to battle against the refs in an inbred, yet hostile environment.

him and Pearl both have their number..

Bama gets worshipped and we have beaten them 3 times in a row.. I mean we swept the state of bama IN THEIR TRAPS this year

If this isn't a god damn 1 seed, **** this sport.. I mean this is the GREATESSSSSTT EVAHHHHHH SEC CONFERENCE RIGHT? Give us our ****ing due then

 

[Gator Fever]

If Miss does beat TN and if NC was to beat Duke we should definitely get the # 1 seed in the East. NC has to win to get in the tournament short of winning the ACCT. They might use winning their conference to screw us though.
