The Gators venture to Lexington to take on Calipari's latest crop of hired castaways. I despise Kentucky basketball as much as any other sports team. I despise them when we beat their a$$es too. Pick the score, the MVG, and the Stat of the game (SoG). Colin Castleton will need to have a workman-like game for the Gators to have any chance in "we never foul the visiting team" arena. Castleton averages 15.4pts/game and UK's Tshiebwe Abdul Mutombo averages 15.9. Stat of the game will be pt differential between the two centers (ex. Castleton +3 means Castleton outscores Tshiebwe by 3). Did I mention that I despise UK basketball? Closest to the score = 2pts Pick the Gator score = 1pt Pick the opponent score = .5pt Pick the MVG (per Value Pt Scoring) = .5pt
UK 90 UF 72 MVG Coach White when he gets his second technical for just looking at a ref. Most likely Doug Shows. SOG Castleton fouls out with not many points so Mutombo is +15 We have no chance and nothing to lose in this game. Where is TupacBiff about scheduling? UK got an extra day once again.
Fla 67 Kats. 81 MVP Fleming SOG -5 This game is a fly up and get home quick. No pressure, but the kats have their best team in years. We will go cold for a while, then the kats will roll. If we shoot 65% threes, 80% ft’s, which we won’t get very many, still won’t be enough. I hope I am wrong and we win, I wouldn’t bet on it. Go Gators
I don’t pick UF to lose in these games. I’m too much of a homer. If we were to pull off the upset it’s going to be through defense. UF 68 UK 67 MVG Jones SOG - even
Man, you guys picking Florida, you got Cahones! Remember, large crowd on Saturday, the refs are eating and sleeping over in Lexington. Time for their freebies, calls from the SEC offices. Very athletic team, point guard from Georgia that is ultra fast and their center, one of the best I have seen for the kats. Don’t forget depth and they are rolling! With that said, our players are going to find out what Quad 1 means on the road, one way or another. I don’t think it will be close at the end, I hope we don’t fall apart, CMW goes into his shell and doesn’t work the refs, this could be embarrassing. Hoping no one gets hurt.
