Chris Chiozza is one to watch in this game. I watched most of Florida's win against UK and then most of their loss against South Carolina. He pulled up gimpy in the UK win and he did not look 100% against South Carolina. They said cramps in the UK game but it looked more like a hammy or groin issue that he is playing through against USCe. His on the ball defense was pretty bad in that game, he could not stay in front of South Carolina guards. Something to keep an eye on.

Will be there in person. Always represent. A change in conference and a change in scenery. plus a winning streak against the SEC could be just what Drew's Crew needs. War Bear

Why is Nuni in the game? We have 4 guys on the bench better than him.

Well there is a good chance this game goes a lot like the rest of our games have gone: The game starts to get away from us, we make a run and get back in it, maybe even take the lead. We make some poor plays the last few minutes and several calls don't go our way and we lose by about 5.

Yeah, that's kind of how you think it'll go pretty often. They almost always seem to claw back into it. Enough to keep you watching.

Can anyone understand more than half of what Vitale is saying?

have we ever had a three go in off the glass.... seems like all of ours go halfway down and then come back out.


on the good side, black ref who missed the goal tending finally called a foul on FL.... that's 1 - 4 for hkm

Bad job in the draft.... passed on some great players to draft projects who didn't pan out....

Worst team we've had in years in terms of fundamental basketball. Not finishing, bad passes, turnovers. So sloppy! Painful to watch.
EGOTbear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
worst since 2011 - worse maybe. Least that team had real talent like Dunn and PJones

Law of averages will come into play second half, we will get back in this.

Omot throws it right to orange jersey. Not even looking before his passes

WOW
