    Can Florida Stop Jimmer?

    Florida should win this game, but I'm not sure if Florida can matchup with Jimmer. Both of Florida's guards (Erving and Boyntin) are too small to guard Jimmer. I'm going to assume Chandler Parsons will matchup with Jimmer. Parsons is an exceptionally good defender, but I think hey may be too slow to keep up with Jimmer.

    Overall I think Florida wins, but I don't think I'm going to bet on this game because I could see Jimmer carrying BYU to the win.

    I hope people keep thinking Florida can stick with BYU so the line kees climbing. I don't think BYU is amazing by any means, but I have thought Florida has been overrated all year and definitely should have not be a 2 seed. Everyone thought Gonzaga could take care of BYU, but look what happened there...

    Florida ML is the play here. Going to be a great game but don't see Florida losing this game. BYU may cover the spread, but I don't believe they will win this game. I got a sizeable wager on Florida ML -110

    Horrible match-up for the mormons and Billy D can coach, UF should easily win by dd. I will be making a pleaser on this and Wisconsin/ Butler over for big +++ $$$$$.

    Parsons is way to slow to stick with the Jimmer.

    Should Florida even be favored? Both Pomeroy and Sagarin have BYU -1. I don't know if Sagarin accounts for Davies, but kenpom does.

    It doesn't really matter. Parsons will be the key. Size and help D is the only thing that can stop Jimmer.

    BYU plenty big, but possible Walker will be too quick. And nobody will be able to stop Jimmer and should have plenty of open 3s.

    No one can stop Jimmer, he will get 30+ easy, they win if he goes off for 40+

    I agree, I think 35+ from jimmer and BYU wins, anything less and it will be a florida victory.

    Yeah, talent wise, Florida is way ahead of BYU. But I don't think anyone is going to stop Jimmer. Billy D can try to prepare his team all he wants for Jimmer, but in the end he is going to get his points. It is like planning against Kobe. You know exactly what Kobe is going to do, and he still scores on you. Jimmer will get his 28-35 points, but I just think Florida will be too much.

    And the one downside about Jimmer that no one talks about is that he takes some bad shots that will turn into Florida fastbreak points. Jimmer usually has about 5-7 bad shots, and Florida will try to get out and run on each of those bad shots.

    yeah all the squares are on BYU in this one. FLA isn't in the big east, no overrated.

    I would hedge that bet on the south son, BYU truck is going off road here.

    folks also forget jimmer got that many points against a worse FL team in 2 extra frames. without extra frames jimmer scored 26?

    we'll see, but you know where i think the squares stand on this one son

    stay frosty

    Mountain West (6th) is actually ranked ahead of the SEC (7th) right now.

    The real question is can Jimmer stop Florida's frontcourt which is the best left in the tourney.

    Thanks for the insite. I didn't realize Jimmer was Joseph Smith reincarnated until now.

    Aside for the dumb #2 seeding folks around here have sold the Gators short all season. I'll take a cohesive team over a one-player oriented offense in this one.

    I don't think they can stop him, they'll probably contain him somewhat. This guy drains 3's from half court with ease. I think BYU ina close one.

    The thing about this game is that Florida is a balanced team. Do they stop Jimmer? No, but size will be key I expect Vernon Maclin to lead Florida to victory. Also look for Florida to try and drive the ball and get Jimmer and friends in foul trouble, as this Florida team will be the fastest and most athletic team that BYU has faced all year.

    Jimmer will still put up a 30 pt day...but the real question is, can BYU out rebound Florida and put up more points in the paint.....As much i'm pullin for BYU, I think Florida wins because of the pts in the paint

    zags outrebounded byu 36-27 and outscored them in the paint yet lost big.

    it'll come down byu's 3 pt shooting, if they hit 50% like they did vs zags theyll win.
