OGT-#2 Tennessee @ Florida 2/1/2023 7:00 pm ESPN2

I remember winning big games in the Odome.

 

From the radio, Coach Golden pre-game (paraphrased):

Have to get off on the right foot.

Tonight we have to come out with great belief, fight and execute.

This is why you play . . . to show what you're made of on a big stage and if you're scared you're in big time trouble.

Come out ready to fight, ready to punch and play together.

Systematically UcheaT is big and makes you take contested shots.

Once transition is settled we can make teams in the half court miss. UcheaT stays in their system and really tries to get the ball inside. Then there's their offensive rebounding . . .

It all starts with Kyle and CC. It has to be our seniors who lead and others who step up tonight.

How can Florida pull an upset? Belief is the main component to getting it done. It has to be real to upset a top team. When we play our best we can beat anybody.

 

Whatever lol

 

Im seeing a defensive battle. We have come a long way as a team, but tonight will be the measuring stick. Go Gators!

 

Here ya go.....

Zakai Zeigler Receives SEC Player of the Week Honors

 

I doubt ET cares lol

 

Ziegler averaging 17 pts per game.

 

Hope he has a bad night for once

 

Kugel has 2 fouls. Other than that, impressive first 4 minutes!

 

Really good, under-control start . . . except Keugel now has 2 fouls.

 

Time out 10-4 15:52 Kugel called for a PF

 

Shooting 67%
Ut 20%

 

8-0 run

 

Very good passing. Very good spacing. Good ball movement in to CC on the low post (which @akaGatorhoops has been wanting to see) and shots are falling. Defense is also very good so far.

 

Strong move inside by Fudge!

 

Rick Barnes still looks like a Vampire

 

Shot clock violation - 13th this season forced by the Gators

 

I just checked the score before turning it on. 12-4. Should I not watch? Am I the cause of the Gators' problems?

 

Good start by Florida, 12-4.
