    Dropping a home game was not something the Florida Gators wanted to do Tuesday and with the loss dropping them to 15-2 and 2-2 in SEC play there now is some urgency to take care of business Saturday when they host the Texas Longhorns (11-5, 0-3 SEC as of Wednesday morning–but they will play Oklahoma after the publishing of this article but before taking on Florida).

    My assumption is that we'll play with more passion in the first half of this one.

    Yes, if we can hold it to only down 15 at the half we have a chance.

    Aberdeen was 3-12 and 0-5 from 3 in his last two games. Someone needs to impress upon him that he is as important to the team as a starter and that he Haugh, and Alexis are virtual starters. They went 2-9 and 0-4 against Missouri. Neither Alexis or Aberdeen shot FTs despite our being in the bonus in both halves with almost 10 minutes to play in each half. Two FTs made (one from each) and we win the game. They have to become more assertive, offensive minded, and confident.
