Can Florida really lose 3 out of 4? I think I will stay away from this one as Tenn is really good at home, but I just don't see how Florida loses this one tonight... They should come out pissed off as hell tonight and really try to take it to Tennessee... If Tenn is not hitting their 3 balls then I think Florida wins this one easily tonight...

What are your guys thoughts on this one?

[stump]

i like Florida, but they are not playing well, probably a stay away game for me

[bigboydan]

I can see Florida lose again tonight P2M. In fact I'm considering playing Tennessee on the ML tonight.

Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Aint' no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink,
but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.

Rocky Top you'll always be
Home sweet home to me
Good ol' Rocky Top
Rocky Top Tennessee,
Rocky Top Tennessee

Did you guys catch this little tid bit?

"I'm worried about our team right now," center Al Horford told USA Today. "We've just got to get back in there and just figure this out. If it's not going well on offense, guys quit on defense. That's something we never did last year, so that's something we have to deal with. We've got to be able to overcome that and know that some nights we're not going to score 80 points."

The comment of "guys quit on defense" does rather intrigues me a little bit fellas.

I would lean to Tennessee...but I am taking some time off these days to focus on other things.

Well, this is a tough one. Florida did have a similar losing period in late February last year as well, and they of course rebounded magnificently.

On the other hand, Bruce Pearl is a very effective coach. Tennessee is undefeated at home this year, and he has put great importance on finishing the year undefeated at home, for "historical" purposes. Also, Chris Lofton was out when Florida destroyed Tennessee earlier this year, and he seems to be playing well on his return.

I think Tennessee could well win this game outright. Getting them at +4 or in the +160 ML range is probably where the value lies. But there are too many unknowns involved to make any play a large one. I'd take Tennessee, because of the value, but of course if Florida rights themselves a blowout win would not be a surprise.

[Illusion]

I am leaning towards Tennessee, but will probablly pass.

[BigD]

I om FLA i think they will rebound from the last 2

[goldengoat]

florida taking it on the chin so far, tenn backers looking good

[babaoriley]

Any second half bettors with leans? side is 6 and total is 79.5/

[rjt721]

i put 1/2 unit on the under. think vols will try to slow the pace a bit with such a big lead.

[Peyton2MarvinN06]

WOW! Sure am glad I stayed away from this one... Florida was the only side I was considering playing... Glad I decided to go with the Wolverines instead of the Gators! Props to those of you who have Tennessee in this one! The rout is on! Although, I just sat through the Pacers blowing an 18 point lead so anything is possible! I think the Vols would probably beat the Pacers right now though! LOL

The very definition of heart:



Good to see him go out a winner on Senior Night.

[imgv94]

Should of bet TENN

Was so close but couldn't pull trigger..

[onlooker]

Only a 10 point game now. Wasnt this thing up to 27?

[babaoriley]

Yes, and double yes. Hit a 1 unit TN ML at +165 and hit the Florida side (-6) at half. Lovin it'.

[BuddyBear]

Good call on Tennessee fellows....

[bigboydan]

This Gators defense was just horrid tonight wasn't it. They need to start playing some D, or you might as well write them off for any possible chance of repeating this year.

They came into the dance struggling last year as well though. Also, playing at Tennessee is about as difficult as it gets in regards to college environments.

I actually liked what I saw from the Gators in the second half. The last 10 or 15 minutes was the first time I've seen them bring any intensity to a game in over a month.
Still, they have so many flaws. Brewer kills the team offensively - he can't make an open jumper, and when he tries to handle the ball, it almost always results in a turnover - and he doesn't play lockdown defense like he used too. They don't have anyone that plays defense at the guard position (Humphrey has been terrible all year. The only reason he is on the floor is to make open jump shots, and he hasn't been doing that very well this season), and Noah has been their third best big man the past couple weeks - actually, Richard was their best player tonight.
