Official Florida Gators vs South Carolina Gamecocks Basketball game @ Columbia, 6:30 pm on SECTV

[MJWilliamson]

Florida leads the all-time series, 43-23 (.652), including 21-14 (.600) in Columbia. This will be the Gators’ second meeting vs. South Carolina under head coach Mike White, following last season’s overtime loss in Columbia.

In a scheduling quirk, this marks the fourth straight meeting of the series that will be played in Columbia. The Gators have never before faced an SEC opponent four straight times on the road.

No opponent this season has reached its season average in regulation against the Gator defense. Georgia is the only team to hit its scoring average, but needed overtime to do so.

 

[MJWilliamson]

USCe probably has the best overall defense in the league. It will be a tough challenge to score more than 60 on them

 

[Gator Fever]

They do have a good defense but I think we can break 60 on them.

 

[Gator Fever]

Maybe I will take that back about scoring 60. lol

 

[Gator Fever]

First team to 40 wins?

 

[MJWilliamson]

First team to 40 wins?

Looks like it. Two great steals by Hill.

 

[Gator Fever]

Hill doing good

 

[Gator Fever]

Get Chiozza out of there

 

[Gator Fever]

Does White know how to design an offense - we just keep turning the ball over or take contested shots.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Officials are very inconsistent. They are making the game all about them. It is the Ted Valentine show

 

[46885]

I don't know if i have any words about this half boys

 

[SwampMaster]

Skyler Rimmer makes me sad.

 

[Gator Fever]

Dang we cant make a 3 point shot to save our lives.

 

[46885]

if there was ever a game to end the 3 pt streak, this is it.

 

[46885]

Kasey has 10, somehow.

 

[SwampMaster]

Kasey Hill playing like a boss.

 

[Gator Fever]

Got to give Hill credit this game - he is very active and scoring some.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Kasey has 10, somehow.

He does. Typical Hill day. Very good stuff. Head scratching stuff.

 

[46885]

We better hit our FT's tonight when we get them

SC is laying 3 in the 2nd half... We still haven't hit a 3 yet, streak in jeopardy

 

[SwampMaster]

If Kasey Hill could shoot he would be a 1st rounder.

 

[MJWilliamson]

very inconsistent officials. Walks on them do not get called. I counted two of them. They do on us.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Robinson cant hit and open jumper

 

[MJWilliamson]

We are back to being a 50% ft team

 

[Gator Fever]

Here we go...

 

[Gator Fever]

White waits too long to make lineup changes at times

 

[MJWilliamson]

We are being badly outplayed. When our guy picks up the ball, other players have got to help him

 

[Gator Fever]

Damn we cant score

 

[MJWilliamson]

We have not made a FG in the second half. 0-8

 

[Gator Fever]

Unbelievable

 

[MJWilliamson]

These frakcing officials are horrid

 

[46885]

now we've been pathetic long enough to help the crowd make the refs give pep rally whistles on everything we do, that's when you're f***ed

 

[MJWilliamson]

We are playing like dog crap, but that is about the 4th time a foul has been called on us that was on USCe.

 

[ocalaman]

I can't blame what's going on on the officials. Both teams play great defense, but their bigs are better inside than ours and our guys are having trouble getting open and so are forcing shots. Allen or Barry needs to get hot or we're toast. Free throw shooting an issue again.

 

[SwampMaster]

Teddy Valentines games are always a mess.

 

[46885]

that 3 streak is really in trouble now unless Allen finally hits one

 

[MJWilliamson]

I can't blame what's going on on the officials.

As long as they are consistent. There was a long period where it was very one sided.

 

[ocalaman]

I hate games like this, where the officials become the game. Call the obvious ones and let the touch fouls go. Let 'em play!!

 

[46885]

nobody misses point blank lay ups like Florida's bigs, no one.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Chizzo gets Hill disease some time. Hold on to the ball and dribbles way too long.

 

[ocalaman]

The difference in the 2 teams that I see is Thornwell. He's a go-to guy who can create his own shot. Barry is the closest we have to that, but not quite. Hopefully, we can figure out a way to pull it out, but their defense has us frustrated.
