Its BS we are only getting 1 day off before the KY game while they get 3 days off. What kind of crap is that?
our post players literally just can't score down low and miss every lay up in new ways each game, the last three teams we've played are flat out awful. Not being able to hit lay ups is gonna hurt them against UK and having to stop them on the other end from doing what they do. Allen scores better down there than our big guys
Missouri is terrible, but our guys played really well. Chiozza gets a triple double!!! Three 30+ point wins in a row for 1st time in school history. Hope they keep it up. 17-5, 7-2 at the halfway point in the SEC race. Tough stretch coming up - KY at home, at Georgia, TAM at home, at Auburn, at Miss. St., South Carolina at home, then at KY. Need to go at least 3-3, hoping for 5-1. Go Gators.
first triple double in 8 years
Seth Davis tweeted that Mizzou is the worst power 5 team he's ever seen, at least we've done what he should to the last 3 bad teams. Gonna need more offensively from the bigs to win next game, thank GOD uk didn't lose their 3rd in a row coming in or we would have been playing a road game at home

This is the third time the Gators have won three consecutive games by 30+. Before this: 2006 (WKU, PV, UTC) & 2004 (SHSU, EKU, GS)

schedule isn't gonna get easier, i think we play like 4 or 5 of the last 8 conference games on the road, South Carolina, Arkansas and A&M are like the last home games i saw after Saturday, @UGA, @Auburn, @Miss State, @vandy ,@UK.. We have to beat the teams we are supposed to beat and CANNOT lose to South Carolina again to lock up where we need to finish to assure being in a good spot for the tournament... we need to finish 22-9 at worst, i think it's inevitable we stink it up as always against one of the teams we should beat on the road with UGA, Auburn, MSU or vandy or even two with desperate teams and UF refs.
The kentucky game is going to be classic free throw bonanza for them after losing two games out of 3 already, they aren't playing worth a damn and we would beat them if they weren't kentucky for sure at home in the environment we are playing in and how we have been playing... but we all know how their officials travel so well against the un baggers like us.
If/when Egbunu gets tagged for his second foul off-the-ball and 25 feet from the basket, more K. Hayes might be a good thing. At least until he gets his second when a Kentucky guard climbs up his back for a rebound.
JMOHO's as always.... 
The SEC, like their big brothers (NFL / NBA / MLB), see sports as a money making business, not as a game. Billionaire owners didn't get there by being altruistic.
As such, they will all do whatever they think will bring in the most money.
(and they will spend whatever PR money they need to, in an on-going attempt to keep the average Joe ignorant of that long demonstrated (imo) fact)
They don't really G-a-S how that is accomplished (rules be-damned), just as long as it is accomplished.
So, if you are looking for 'fair' then you'll almost always be disappointed....
Fair usually 'just happens' when it doesn't have any affect on the $$$.

I don't know about getting blitzkrieged in the tournament. They've been to the final 4 4 out of 6 years. But they do get calls for sure. As does UNC and Duke. Those are the main offenders. For whatever reason KU doesn't seem to get as many calls. I think it's related to Bill Self's ridiculous hairpiece.
Even UNC isn't as bad as when Dean Smith was there. I remember watching CU play them in the tournament with Chauncey Billups. CU was up in the second half and the refs might as well have made an announcement on the PA that they were stopping the game and awarding it to UNC with the parade to the free throw line that followed. I wondered the same thing, how CU's coach stopped himself from choking those refs.
