The 11-6 Gators travel to Columbia, MO to take on the 8-9 Tigers on Saturday, Jan 20, 8pm. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. Can you say "must win?" Perhaps it's not technically a must, but many would agree that a 1-3 SEC team with ncaa aspirations better get some Ws PDQ. At 0-4, Mizzou will be not just be hungry: They will be famished. Can the Gators get their first road win of the season? Pick the score, the Most Valuable Gator (MVG), and the Stat of the Game (SoG). SoG is Gator fg%. The Gators shot 49.3% in their home victory over Arkansas and 29.4% in their road loss against TN. Simply put, the Gators must shoot reasonably well to win. My pick: Gators 79 Tigers 76 MVG Kugel SoG 42.5%
Gators 80 Missouri 77 Pullen mvp 40.5% SOG This game will be a dog fight, Missouri vs Alabama was heated. Get ready for another physical game just like Tennessee. It won’t be decided till the last minute. Let’s break the on the road curse. Maybe the coaches could change up the routine. Fly in a day early, go to a movie, eat some Missouri bbq. Anything that will keep the minds working. Practice hard two days in a row, culminating going out aggressive and putting this game away in the first half. Go gators!
