Eff em. They got blown out. 😂 Great win to close out the season. No conference game at home this year is a gimmee. Ask Auburn. 😂
Remember the KY jelly player doing left over right arm Gator chomp as his teammate scored on a kickoff return? Another dumbass.

Well the silver lining in that schedule is that UGA will be playing in the NIT. 😂
For selfish reasons only, It'd be a dream scenario if Walter Clayton Jr stayed at UF long enough to play one season as a Safety for Ron Roberts and Sal Sunseri.
It's been so long since we'll miss a player like Walt.

Impressive way to end the regular season.Ole Miss is a solid team that can really shoot it. And, honestly, we played pretty sloppy and still won by 19. This team is poised to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament. Not sure I care how they do in the SEC tournament. They have a double bye and won;t play until Friday. So the 5 days of rest will be good for them.

FINAL: No. 5 Florida 90, Ole Miss 71 - Florida Gators
A quick breakdown of Saturday night's win over the Rebels in the regular-season finale at the O'Dome.

Houston's game tonight against Baylor might determine if we get Indy or San Francisco. If we did get Indy since another SEC team wont be the 2 seed it's very likely Michigan State would be the #2 in our region.
Well, Pullin and Castleton come to mind, but I'm fine with giving Walt his flowers....
This conference is hilarious.. like, the first game ALL year they have a reason to help us win to ASSURE there's two 1 seeds from their own conference.. What were they doing? Same old shit, road team hits the bonus before us in BOTH halves AGAIN while getting the shit kicked out of them anyway.. THEN you have Lunardi come on during our broadcast to talk about how Bama would jump us for the 1 seed if we lost literally THREE days after soundly beating them on their own floor.. Somehow the last two teams we beat beating Auburn their next game doesn't make our resume look better... no no, it somehow made Bama look better than us.. You can't make this shit up boys
It sucked we couldn't have Pullin for one more season.
Did you see when Golden made them go to the monitor when they called a foul on us? Not only did they reverse the call, they were forced to give Ole Piss a flagrant one! These refs are horrible!
The best officiated games are the ones where we hardly notice the refs. Tonight, the refs dominated the game like they wanted to be in the spotlight. 42 fouls called, no momentum could be generated, it was sluggish, boring and ridiculous. And yet we won easily by 19 over a VERY good team. It's all good!
That's the point iv'e been trying to make all along, they aren't horrible, it's deliberate.. Golden has been closer and closer to blowing a gasket with each game, it's hilarious to think it's not possible to get worse in the actual tournament with officials that make all calls to help the underdogs than our own in conference.. We are bulletproof to the whistles being against us, these other top teams are not and it will show in two weeks.. They were talking about it on Twitter during the game, how is Florida the only team that doesn't even get the home whistle.. The only sign of it at all is after Golden made them review that and kept on their ass for the absolute criminal touch fouls on us and them tackling our guys on the other side.. Then we started missing a million free throws again, which is my lone worry for this team...
if you're just looking at the game objectively like tonight with like 50 fouls called, it clearly just looks like the refs wanted the over total to hit on the game.. I mean it was that bad
Free throw shooting is definitely our achilles heel for our big guys. They really need to spend some gym time doing nothing else but that. FFS, I was never some basketball athlete but shooting from the free throw line is nothing but mindless repetition, and best done when dog tired. I just don't get these fantastic athletes not getting that done.
our Senior guards can't be trusted either, that's a problem..
I had a coach in high school who made us run several laps until we made 3 successive 1 and 1s. If you failed, you start all over. I learned quick to concentrate and how to shoot them. 😂
According to Lunardi Auburn, Duke & Houston are locks for #1 seeds because they have won their conference regular season titles. UF, Bama & Tennessee are battling for the 4th #1 seed, with him saying Florida probably has the inside track. That means we will be in the West Region more than likely. Auburn would be South, Duke East and Houston Midwest. If we win 3 straight and win the SEC tournament and Houston or Duke loses early in their conference tournament, maybe we move up to a #2 or #3 seed. Possible, but not probable. If we are the #1 seed in the West, our first 2 games would be in Raleigh, NC. Lunardi is projecting Texas Tech as the #2 seed in the West, with Wisconsin #3 and Kentucky #4, potentially making for a UF/Kentucky match-up in the Sweet 16. It will all be revealed next Sunday at 6 pm.
What good does the SEC tournament do us? I mean look how they shafted us last year for winning 3 games, beating the brakes off Bama again and playing Championship game.. They still gave bama the 4 seed and us the 7, all while breaking micah's leg and ending our season for our troubles.. We should be a 1 seed and **** this conference and the conference tournament, we already have the 1 seed there's really nothing more we can do.
We will probably get the West but I think Indy is a real possibility if Houston loses tonight. The west could work out better for us though. I think KY may get a 3 seed now.
If we lost our 1st game and TN made the final they would pass us I think. Depends on opponents in the tournament probably.
I stole this quote:
Just a reminder Todd Golden went into the hardest league in the history of college basketball and had the second best regular season in UF history, and we’re still making excuses for Billy Napier

oh so the SEC Tournament would actually matter this time when these other teams need it too? How convenient
Houston beat Baylor 65-61. I don't really think it would have made any difference. They won the Big 12 by 4 games ove a really good Texas Tech team. In this morning's BPI, Duke is #1, Houston #2, Auburn #3, Florida #4, Alabama #5, Tennessee #6. In the KPI rankings, it's Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Houston & Duke in that order. In ELO rankings, it's Houston, Auburn, Duke, Florida, Alabama, Michigan State. In NET rankings, it's Duke, Auburn, Houston, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama. It just seems that Joe Lunardi knows what he talking about last night when he said the 3 locks for #1 seeds are set - Auburn, Duke & Houston, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama are fighting for the 4th #1 seed, with the Gators having the edge right now. We shall see how it plays out, but perfomance in the SEC tournament MIGHT make a slight difference in hoiw the committee decides.
I do wonder if it would matter if the roles were reversed. The reason they could even possibly pull this crap is because our OOC teams that are usually a good win weren't good this year - Wake Forest, Virginia, Arizona State, Wichita State and FSU etc. North Carolina ended up being our only Quad 1 OOC opponent.
If we lost our 1st game in the SECT and TN beat A&M and then Auburn we would probably be sweating it out on getting that #1 seed.
