Happy Thanksgiving! Quick turnaround after the great win over Pitt. The 4-1 Gators play 5-0 13th ranked Baylor on Friday, Nov 24, 5:30pm in the NIT Season Tip-off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. Pick the score, the Most Valuable Gator (MVG), and the Stat of the Game (SoG). For this game, SoG will be freethrow margin. Baylor averages 27.6 attempts/game and the Gators avg 28/game. Which team will get to the line more? (+3 = Gators have 3 more FTs than the Bears) My pick: Gators 72 Baylor 76 MVG Pullin SoG -5
Baylor. 80 Gators. 78 Kugel -7 This is a hard early season test. Will Samuels miss most of his ft’s, shoot o ferr for threes, Will Kugel force threes or just miss most of his chances, will Clayton stay hot, Will any of the bigs foul out. Wil the refs make consistent calls?
UF 85 Baylor 80 Clayton -4 More good news: My TV subtitles have stopped calling Kugel "Google." As in, "Google shoots, scores and is going to line ..."
