OGT #7 Florida vs #10 Colorado 3/22/2024 4:30 pm TBS | March Madness App

I am incredibly nervous. Not sure my body can take 4 more hours of waiting.

 

absolutely the same feeling I'm having. Sports talk radio doesn't like the Gators at least from what I heard the last 18 hours on Sirius XM.

 

Just the Micah thing IMO. I wish I could find it, but there was an article one time about people overestimating injuries in most cases. It sucks he isn’t playing, but one of our 6’10 guys will have a pretty darn good shot at grabbing similar rebounds in his place. We aren’t putting a YMCA guy at the 5 for 20 minutes now. Just have to hope for no foul trouble.

 

If we show up and play our game, we'll be fine. If we come out star struck, thinking we have it in the bag, it will be a long day. Keys to the game, IMO:

- Bigs can't get in foul trouble
- Defend the three
- Make free throws

This Colorado team got the seeding they deserved based on the full season results, but I believe they're way better than a 10 today. Will be a challenge.

 

their conf game was Saturday, so playing Wednesday would have been a typical turnaround. Playing again on Friday, short rest. Plus they had a 3-4 hour drive to Indy (unless they flew) yesterday, I'm guessing. While not tiring, it's not preparation.

 

This is wild to me lol

 

Same as every other game. If we show up to play and enforce our will, we can hang with anybody. If shots are falling and we’re able to run, we’re going to be really tough to beat. If we’re missing bunnies and free throws, we can lose to anybody too. Hopefully today is one of our super fast big energy days.

 

It’s been in that range either way for a while. Vegas is basically saying it’s a wash.

 

It may have to do with the fact the SEC is not starting out like they should have. Maybe the SEC isn't "all that".

 

Is this a good sign or bad sign?

 

Normally good. Sometimes I am so nervous that I think it can be felt by the team which makes them play better. There is no science disproving this theory.

 

So nervous I think we are going to play well. Condon has to be a beast he's got a world of talent.
Pullin is our guy that will be better than just about any PG.. Kugel wild card need his head to be right.
It's a good path to Elite 8 we will make it.
Cant wait

,

 

Gonna a tough game for our bigs as Colorado has great size. We need the guards to hit their shots and Kugel/Richard as X-factors.

 

I think a combination of this and how the 11 seeds have been doing makes people start liking the higher seeds a bit more with their money

 

Nobody likes the Gators ! You knew that!

 

just drink a little harder . Win or lose this will not make or break your life! Taking my wife out around 5 for her birthday today .. If I’m not able to watch it’s not gonna make a difference . To me , she is way more important than worrying about Riley Kugle and his issues . Hope we win for sure! Y’all pull em through! If not hopefully hopefully we all wake up in the morning

 

They may not be ! Florida is the only school I care ab in the SEC . Maybe they all can lose !!!

 

They will have plenty of juice ! That bs is overrated

I showed UF winning 53% of the time in 30 sims with some parameters I just made up to test.

 

Simmed to 57% UF wins in 30 tries with this.
