    Feels great to be able to say that for the first time in what seems like forever
    20-8 record, 10-5 in the SEC
    It wasn't pretty, but we'll take the W
    I think this all but officially gets us off the bubble too, as long as we don't completely collapse for the rest of the season
    Now it's about padding our resume and getting better with each game. Still lots to clean up but we're still trending in the right direction

    Let's enjoy this one....so happy what Golden, his staff and the team has done so far this year. So nice to be able to watch this team gel, and for once in a long time we have all the pieces to make a deep post-season run

    As March approaches in 2 days. the training wheels are off - The Madness is about to begin!

    20 wins and a winning sec record, was my goal at the beginning of the sec season, getting us a bid.

    pleasantly surprised after starting the league 0-2 that we got here after just 15 sec games

    yes my thoughts too, 20 wins and a winning SEC record and that would do it...hopefully now it's just about seeding for us and improving

    I see what you did there...

    You think you would have told us about that time machine, but guess that would have created alternate timelines. Makes for messy bookkeping.

    20 & 10 are huge numbers and just another sign of burying the "Golden Conundrum." ;)

    I weirdly feel more confident in beating Bama and usce than I do Vandy right now. From a betting perspective this team is covering or winning as a dog outright, but has played down to lesser teams the last month or so. Some of that could be getting more respect and laying bigger numbers as a favorite recently. I do think the game last night ends up closer to a 14 - 16 pt win if Clayton didn't have his brain fart. It was good to see them scrap and win that one without him.

    @Vandy is always a gauntlet, such a weird and difficult place to play where it feels like you're entering the Twilight Zone

    It's great to see what really good coaching can do. Love the improvement we're seeing with basketball.

    Great year by Gators and Coach TG. Have improved during year, which is what you hope to see. Good chemistry and team construction. Balance between guards and bigs. If we heard akigel was going to flame out this year, we would have all predicted a bad season. Tg has surprised me. Hope team does well in the tourney.

    Think it's appropriate to mention that UF did not win against Mizzou by shooting well.

    3pt was abysmal.

    Good teams find other ways to win when
    the 3 point rock doesn't fall.

    Case in point - Samuel.

    Beat the press, hit Sam in the paint and he was aces.

    Little off topic but, 2 HUGE plays I can't get out of my mind.

    Richard 3 at around the 8.05 mark and Richard wrap around pass to Sam was.....
    Damn, shades of Pistol Pete!

    And TG was hired by the much maligned Stricklin. Who knows maybe CBN will turn out as a good hire.

    One hallmark of a really good team is they can figure out how to win when they're not having a particularly good game. Like last night vs. Mizzou.
    It's also worth mentioning that the Mizzou we faced last night is better than the one we beat on the road. East was injured and out the first time. Now he's their best player. They are capable of pulling out some wins here late.

    Even ar 1-3 said top 5 in SEC and 13-5.
    I like this team. Anything less than S16
    Would be a let down

    I was certainly having my doubts.

    Glad I was wrong!
