    Time to take it to the next level. Especially down low. I feel like we can win any game when 2 of 3 guards are sharp as long as we at least hold our own in the front court on both ends.

    That just means we go up there and take care of business they get no chance to even up back here. Screw the schedulers.

    I hate, so much, that we don't play y'all twice anymore. I want UT, Arkansas and Florida home and away every year.

    I'm REALLY nervous about Saturday's game. I'm not down on the Cats as far as their future under Pope but I am not expecting a stellar SEC record. I also don't like how y'all seem to be playing better and better lately and UK heading in the opposite direction.

    Clearly Florida has the ability to win this game, but it’s certainly not a foregone conclusion. You guys have already beaten some of the best teams in the country. We haven’t even played any of the best teams. Add to that the energy that Rupp will have welcoming an undefeated and higher ranked Florida team. This is going to be a tough game for the Gators.

    It's hard to know, but Im hoping the early start will help us on the road.
    Perhaps it will take the starch out of Rupp.

    Of course, a noon start in football vs UK in Lexington in 23 didn't help the good guys.
    We were clearly half asleep at kickoff and the Cats were full bore and they destroyed us.

    But I have more faith in his year's b-ball squad than the 23 football squad, so I still say it helps us.

    Baby will be 9 days old by game day so probably self sufficient. Congrats!

    One good thing about having a newborn is that @gatordavisl will be up late enough to watch some late West Coast games. Some good teams out there.

    The first night our first born slept through the night we both woke up thinking "Is the baby alright?" LOL..

    It is a difficult time but a really great time. Enjoy @gatordavisl. Making great memories.

    That settles it. Put me down for the Gators to win by 9. We have to bring this kid into Gator basketball the right way.

    I had a great Gator friend of mine pass away last night. He was a big Gator and had season tickets for basketball and baseball. I hope Florida wins for Coach McMillan.

    Did he used to coach at one of the local high schools here in Marion Co? If so what school and sport? Seems like I remember him perhaps.

    Yes he sure did coached at St. John’s Mr. Ron Mcmillin. A great man. We watched a lot of basketball together. Sad day!
