MBB OGT: Oklahoma at #2 FLORIDA -- February 18, 2025 -- 7 PM (ESPN2]

And with A&M going down to MSU, UF takes sole possession of 3rd in conference at 10-3.

 

Margin of victory in SEC home wins:
22
21
9
30
24
30

Only loss was by 1 point. Wow!

 

If we played Missouri right now we would boat race them. I hope we get a rematch in Nashville to avenge that game.

 

Florida has to keep winning if they want to secure that NCAA #1 seed as the Gators are the lowest of the four #1 seeds (i.e Auburn, Alabama, Duke & UF).

Teams like Tennessee & Houston would like to pass a team like Florida for that coveted #1 seed.

Besides, the Gators can continue to put pressure on Auburn for maybe a tie for the SEC regular season.

 

And to me..I still say that 3 was a 2 in our only loss at home....so lol

 

Played on the Soviet National team and Golden State and the Lithuanian national team. He was the guy that got the Grateful Dead to make t-shirts to raise money for the Lithuanian national team for the 1992 Olympics. I have three of those shirts.

 

He was wearing a boot.

 

good point - that 3 WAS a 2, they just didn't call it.

 

oh wow, great collectibles. I just watched a YouTube breakdown of that, and also how good Marciulionis was. One of his GS teammates said Jordan and Pippen were arguing which one was going to guard him, and neither wanted to because he was so physical on offense (and often made them look bad he was so good)

 

Listening to Nashville 12/16/78 right now.

 

Are they playing Tennessee Jed?

 

One of them has never been worn. One of them is obviously worn from many pick-up games. One is in good shape and I will wear it out on occasion.

 

Clayton - 18 points (6-of-9 FG, 4-of-7 3pt, 2-of-2 FT, 4 Reb, 2 Asst, 0 TO)
Richard - 14 points (4-of-10 FG, 3-of-7 3pt, 3-of-3 FT, 8 Reb, 2 Stl, 1 Blk, 1 Asst, 1 TO)
MartinA - 14 points (5-of-12 FG, 2-of-7 3pt, 2-of-3 FT, 5 Reb, 2 Stl, 1 Asst, 0 TO)
Chinylu - 11 points (5-of-7 FG, 1-of-3 FT, 2 Reb, 0 Asst, 1 TO)
Klavzar - 10 points (4-of-7 FG, 2-of-4 3pt, 2 Reb, 1 Stl, 2 Asst, 1 TO)

 

Another impressive win for the Gators.

As for OU, I know they had some impressive early wins, but I don't see them making the ncaas at this point. Now 3-10 in sec with no South carolinas or LSUs on the schedule.
Moser might want to polish up his resume if they don't make it.

 

To get a #1 seed, these next 2 games are crucial. Road games at 2 unranked teams - LSWU & Georgia. Can't get complacent because it's always tough to win road games in the SEC. Gotta stay focused. After that we get Texas A&M at home, Alabama on the road and then finish up hosting Ole Miss.

 

That game was actually a tie. Tape don't lie.

 

While that sounds like a hard stretch of games it is easier than Bama's.

And we have several tough games we might actually be slightly favored in all of them.

 

Also important to know, tomorrow night Alabama is at Missouri, and Saturday Tennessee is at Texas A&M. A Bama loss puts them tied with us. A Missouri loss gives us more separation for that top 4 seeding in the SECT. The Tenn vs TA&M game will send the loser further down the SEC rankings and reduce their chance at the top 4 seeding. I guess I'd rather see Missouri and A&M lose to give us more chances at the top 4 conference seeding with a 2 game lead. Bama has a tough road ahead and if we beat them we should finish second unless Auby messes up. Reminder, we have the tie breaker against Auburn if we finished tied.

 

My take?

 

Over the last 5 games, Gators are shooting 42% from 3. I think the uptick has been the recent play of Haugh, Aberdeen, and Klavzar.
The Klav has worked his way permanently into the rotation, I believe.
