    Eyeball test or not, we're going to need at least 20 wins to get into the dance. 19 wins won't cut it for UF with the clowns that are in charge imo.

    Beat either TAMU or USC on the road then win vs LSU, UGA, Missouri, Vandy 2x and we should get in but might also get shafted.

    Teamrankings.com gives UF a good shot with a 20-11 record.

    I thought 1-2 over these next 3 would be big. Still alive for 2-1 or 3-0!

    32 Kenpom, 20 ELO, 24 RPI, 5-3 in league. The quad one win every one has been pining for, one of the best road wins in the country this year, and zero bad losses.
    As of today we are in. Long way to go though.

    Surprisingly, @ South Carolina might be the toughest Q1 game left. So many great chances left.

    Have to agree.

    Actually I'm worried about Saturday's game with A&M! That Buzz Williams can coach!

    Yep. A road game at NET #44 is a strong Quad 1.

    I thought the same. What a great opportunity the next two games. We go from a wide open game with Cats to a rock fight with aggies.

    The guys got the win that should lift the Gators off the bubble. But, still need to take care of business and get that 20+ win mark.

    Hopefully that performance gives them more confidence on the road. Several tough ones ahead. Heading into this 3 game stretch (@UK, @A&M, Aub), I though the home game with Auburn was our best chance at a quad 1 win. With the first one under our belts, time to get greedy and hope for 3 or 4 Q1 wins by the end. :)

    A&M always plays UF tough! Can’t look past them on the road thinking about Auburn. A&M will be ready to play.

    They do but we're a different team this year. MUCH different in a very good way!

    This 4 game winning streak will do wonders for us on Saturday and going forward!

    Not off the bubble but on the right side of the bubble for sure! If we get to 3-4 it’s just a matter of what seed are we going to be as long as we don’t drop any games to Vandy.

    Hoping winning tonight in a very hostile gym will energize us moving forward. To me, that means being excited, aggressive, limit turnovers, hit FT’s, and play tough defense. I think our shots will fall as we have been high scoring last 4-5 games. Just need to keep up the energy.
    This team never quits!!
