Getting this one out a day early, as I think tomorrow will be busy and it's an early tip (6:30pm EST) on Wednesday. Pick the score, the MVG, and the stat of the game, which will be Castleton blocks. Colin averages 2.8 and had 8 blocks against the Gamecocks. Closest to the score = 2pts Pick the Gator score = 1pt Pick the opponent score = .5pt Pick the MVG (per Value Pt Scoring) = .5pt
Fla. 67 Miss st. 65 3 MVG. Reeves This is going to be war! We need everybody to contribute as the bulldogs are coming off beating Bama at home.
Gators 70, MSU 60. MVG: CC. SOG: 3. If the Gators don't beat both MSU and Vandy this week, I doubt we make the NCAAT. Even with both wins, we're still on the bubble. For us to win, CC must have a good game and draw some fouls. JJ needs a solid game off the bench. His bulk will be important in this one.
I feel Miss State is the real deal. Tough, physical and deep. I was trying to keep the positive spin for the Gators with a close win. But, as a realist, after almost losing our lead to South Carolina, I can see this very easily. But the two freshmen, if CMW gives them good minutes and Jitoboh comes in and helps us be physical, we can win in a close war! hence my pick........Gators 67-Bulldogs65! Lets roll Gators, make us proud!
