    Gotta be impressed with this teams refusal to fold… on the season, and in this game. It’s often ugly, but they almost always fight. I was really impressed by the resilience when we got down 6.

    Totally agree...last couple of years, even early this season...we fold and lose the game. We're definitely improving mentally and physically. Go Gators!

    True, they could have folded but hung tough for a good home win. Credit for coming back strong after losing the lead.

    And perhaps the personification of resilience has been Jones. He hit a monster 3 down the stretch.

    Yeah, that questionable call on Muscovy Duck's 3-point shot could have ruined us, but our guys fought back hard after that play.

    That run that got the score to 44-38 could have buried us.

    On both of them. 6 free throws on two potential offensive fouls. Would have been a blow out if those went the other way.

    We haven’t gotten a call like that since Kenny Boynton left.

    17-6 in the “first quarter,” 29-10 in the “fourth.” Dominant start and finish.

    It was legal and the correct call when Boynton was doing it. The rule change came afterwards.

    Didn’t get to watch it yet. So from that point, TN scored 10 and we got 29?!

    True, but even when still legal we never got those calls.

    I expect the SEC will get 6 bids and going into tonight's game we were 9th per kenpom. We shot past A &M, Missouri and Miss State tonight into 6th.

    Most bracketologists have A&M and Missouri ahead of us. A win at Kentucky will definitely move us into the discussion.

    That really was the key that mentally the team didn't seem to fold when things didn't go their way. It was fun to watch them fight for that win and TG came up with some key offensive sets that got us back in the flow as well. It was his best coaching job as well. Also, my sincere apologies to Myreon Jones as I had given up on him and never thought he would turn it around.
