Gators are 12.5 point favorites, hopefully the bad offense doesn't carry over from a bad game.. I think the first half it will and will be closer than it should for awhile, then the 2nd half we should be able to finish it off but i have a feeling it will be closer than it should be and have to fight for a win to get our 6th conference win. We have to win games like this one without any excuses
Vanderbilt @ Florida
- Thread starter 46885
- Start date
We need this game bad with @ Oklahoma and the KY and @ Georgia games not far off. I could see us sweating it out getting a tournament bid if we messed around and lost a game like this. Our RPI could drop a bunch by the end of the season if we don't take care of business and get some nice wins and the committee has shown they will leave you out sometimes regardless of a decent RPI if you don't have any big wins. A Seton Hall win won't cut it in that scenario.
we won't beat UK, even on the road their refs travel and we don't have the pg play to win free throw contests or how we shoot at the line.. that OU game on the road is important now with them beating WVU this week. We need to win that game and the guys we are supposed to like Today to get to a certain win total and then see what happens in the SEC tournament in Nashville. We can actually afford bad losses because we probably have the best losses of most teams if not all in the nation, Gonzaga is gonna kill everyone and maybe go unbeaten in their league, FSU is still in the top ten but they lost to UNC this week.. and Duke will always hover around the top ten
We shouldn't lose to these bad teams in conference though, if we can play that miserable and still almost win against the 3rd best team in the league on the road we shouldn't do anything too stupid against the bad teams unless it's on the road. We always have one outright stinker to a bad team though, hopefully that was the last game against a ranked team. Good thing we already won a few road games at Arky and Bama.

How do you show up with this little passion on your home court after a loss? This team seems gutless.
A loss here and we have to start worrying about the NIT. Incredible with the talent we have. Starting to think Mike White has some serious deficiencies that can't be corrected.
More than halfway into the first half and we are in single digits. At home. Vs one of the worst defenses in the country.
Outrebounding 16-8 but losing 13-11 13 minutes into the game.
Mike White has 10 times more talent but can't figure out how to put the ball in the basket? Time to find a coach who can, you know, coach.

Vs SCa, 0-17 from the arc, worse yet, 0-21 outside of the paint. And even worse, the Gator Bigs continue to suck shooting, even inside the paint.... 
Hill's 11 Pts and 4 Stl's by half time with his game long pressure defense, along with Robinson's 10 rebounds were what passed for the Gator's 'Players of the Game' imo.
?? - Is the Red Momba available to coach up the Big guys? If so, HIRE him!
If not, beggggg him as long as needed, and then hire him....
I'd of course be just as happy with either Mike Miller or David Lee if they were willing.

Last few minutes of the half were good. Just awful the first 12 minutes. Plenty of blame to spread around. Good to see Allen scoring and Leon hitting 2 3's. Hayes had a bad half, Barry not much of a factor, neither was Chiozza. Typical Hill, some good things, some bad. Egbuna asserted himself a little towards the end. Maybe they'll play better the 2nd half. On their home court they should beat this team by 15-20.
A terrible Vandy team is going to stroll into our house and beat us after a bad loss? That's pathetic even thinking about, crazy to think it might happen.
And god awful Vanderbilt has a lead on Florida on Florida's home court.
Vanderbilt is 2-7 on the road this year.
We may be watching an NIT squad, folks. Insanity.

Getting laughed off our home court now by a GOD AWFUL Vandy team who is one of the worst road teams in the entire nation, and one of the worst defensive teams in the entire nation.
After having a 7 point lead, the deficit is now 4 mere minutes later.
BYE BYE MIKE WHITE, **** YOU SIR.

NIT!

How long will we allow Mike White to lose to teams with 1/1000th the talent he has at his disposal on his home ****ing court?

There's no way the committee will let us in with no quality wins and several humiliating losses. Wow. Thanks Mike White. Might have coached the most talented team to ever miss the tournament. Congrats!
I know that after a bad loss, you should not be struggling vs one of the worst road teams in the nation, nor should you struggle to score vs a team that doesn't play defense.
I also know that these kids like to pretend they only have to try at the end of games to beat the terrible opponents in the SEC, but that mentality is stupid and is a losing mentality and is squarely on the head coach.
Imagine if Florida was in a real conference like the ACC or Big 10 or Big 12? They'd lose every night with these gutless efforts. We'll see what happens, but I don't have much hope they win this game.
Looks like they're losing now. At home. To a terrible Vanderbilt team that won't make the tournament.
Wow, humiliating effort by Barry. Terrible foul by Devin.
This game is over.
Enjoy the NIT, kids. Mike White, good job. Just lost at home to one of the worst defensive teams in the nation, and one of the worst road teams in the nation.
