    Got to say I love Pullin’s game. Takes good shots, has a great handle, takes care of the ball. Just a smart player. Game was tough down the stretch, but he is always under control.

    I’m just hoping this whole season isn’t an ongoing;
    ….. but we’re better than this
    …… key injuries
    …… officiating complaint
    …… but we played ( insert top 10 team) close
    as we sweat the bubble again

    My eyes tell me we can compete with anyone but you gotta win

    Exactly, who is our go-to down the stretch. I feel they got timid the last 3 minutes of the game.

    Kentucky didn’t shoot free throws much better than UF until the last minute.

    Pullin is fine for an alpha. We just rarely have everything go out way. The horrible shooting by Richards was the one thing that was out of character for us. If he hits his normal percentage, we win this game. Kentucky is really good. We could not afford to have our best 3 point shooter have his worst game ever as a Gator.

    Agree, but not because Richard got too much time.

    That should have been our ball, only the pass hit the Kentucky player.

    Hell of a game that could have gone either way! You guys have a very good team and will be a menace in the SEC. So happy to see Florida be so good.

    Especially with how we our conference schedule starts. Kind of tired of the "we were close" games.

    Bilas on Bradshaw "may have fouled there but what a recovery to block that shot". So a clear blocking foul is negated by his excellent recovery to block a shot in a crucial moment. Classic Bilas and classic officiating.

    Yes. It. Was. Those extra points help win the game.

    He was, but he was so cramped up, when he drove the lane he didn’t even look to kick the ball out.

    It's been horrible all year, it's not going to improve and it has cost us more than one game already. Will cost us a lot more now that we are in conference play and games will be closer. If we shot the 70% FTs they shot (officially 71% to 62%), we would have won.

    All of the complaints of refs and personnel choices by Golden would have been minimal.

    But no, our guys can't shoot the free shots.
