    Thanks CH! “They put you in a trick bag.” …that’s one of the better quotes I’ve heard from an opposing coach!

    Great stuff Chris, thank you. UF has put on quite a show since the TN loss. Darn sure fun and exciting to see UF doing this, while negotiating injuries to Walter, Condon, Martin, and Alexis, using various lineups. Clearly UF has great depth and is playing with great confidence. I love what I see from Zel, Urban, and recently Micah, during this current 5 game run, given the injuries.

    Fully healthy, (and even not fully healthy) this squad, with Todd at the helm, has proven to be incredibly formidable on defense and explosive on offense.

    Interestingly UF seems to start a bit slow, and in some of the games (not OU) the first half of games are competitive and then UF explodes.
    Considering the wealth of shooters, and the fast offense, it's just a matter of time before hands get hot.

    I can't wait to see Condo back. Condo, Haugh, Rueben and Micah give UF an impressive low post presence.

    What a joy and pleasure to witness this teams development under Todd. UF competing for a 1 seed is pretty darn exciting, considering it's been awhile.

    OU's coach was very complimentary. I follow a few basketball podcasts and the nation seems to really be coming around to the Gator brand. What an exciting time to be a follower and fan of Gator basketball!

    THAT is how good the SEC is this year

    Talk about two different directions once conference play began. UF and OU were both 13-0.

    Thank you, Chris!

    I really like this part!
