Nobody goes far without good guard play. The best, most bulletproof teams, are good in both the backcourt and the frontcourt.
Condon so valuable. As good as guys have stepped up, He's the key. I hope to see him rested and beastly. I just don't want the season to ever end.
No doubt the back bone of the team is the back court. But you don’t beat Auburn anywhere unless you meet the strength of their team, their front court. We met and exceeded in Auburn with ours and the whole team played their best game. I would love to see this team get to the finals of the SEC Tournament in Nashville with Auburn as our opponent. With our front court getting better knocking them off there, it would shakeup the college basketball nation. Nashville in March is the center of the SEC universe, this year as the SEC is rolling, this tournament will have all college basketball fans and pundits watching on-line, tv and last but not least, fannies in their seats. Everybody in the SEC that loves basketball will be there.
Figured the title could use an edit 27-4, 14-4. We're officially VERY good Time will tell if we're GREAT
It’s just about time to start a comparison thread for the ‘25 team vs 06-07…14 etc And if we win a title this could go down as one of the best teams ever. They are absolutely impossible to completely stop. ONE time for an entire season they got beat… Vs Tennessee (a team we had previously beaten by 30)… but the other losses -Mizzou, UK, Georgia - were all really close and could’ve gone either way. I think we need some comparative metrics like average point differential in wins etc But you’ve got 4 really good guards who can drive, score, dish, run the break, rebound and play D…. And 2 super versatile big men (Condon, Hugh) and another 2 that give you great D, rebounds and minutes … the depth and versatility and scoring capacity for this team may make it my favorite Gator team ever
I've struggled to watch the 2 previous season's teams, but boy have I enjoyed this season!th i The balance of this team, and the unselfishness of these players has amazed me. I was worried about Martin coming in and trying to "get his" and I was wrong, just a great team guy. Anything can happen in tournaments, good and bad, but I've already considered this year one of my favorites. We were picked to finish 9th!! in the SEC.
