No shit Sherlock, could you come up with some more useless information?Originally posted by stevenashComment -
Never understood this "logic". So you're telling me there's a great chance the game will be close, but if it is, the better team won't have a chance to come out on top?Originally posted by nvrlose37Comment -

A little tempting. Hoping to continue a monstrous week leading up to Friday. I'll make my decision by Thursday.Comment -
Sometimes logic doesnt answer it. When was the last time Florida won a close game? It actually does have something to do with the psyche; if the game is close, Florida players may be so pissed they aren't winning by a landslide that they will make $hit shots or tighten up. FGCU would become clutch in that situation.Originally posted by ramones951Comment -

Putting money on them to win the whole show is ludicrous...covering a spread I can see.Comment -
Actually Florida would be -5.5 against Georgetown if they played in say, St. LoiusOriginally posted by 15805Comment -
they played in the regular season and FLorida was -3.5 pre Whittington being goneComment -
Final Dunkel numbers have Florida -5.5 better
Final Sagarin numbers have Florida 5.5 better.
If I went to KenPom's site I am pretty sure the numbers would be the same.
These are mathematical geniuses, their numbers are relevant and paid attention too
Very rarely do their numbers deviate from the Vegas lines.Comment -
florida gulf coast is not getting blown out lol.Comment -
They played and in the first half UF was kicking Georgetowns ass prior to the carrier getting all slippery and shit. GT was struggling mightily to make shots and the Gators were poised to turn that game into a blowout. I was really hoping Florida would have been able to make up that game with GT again Friday but Cinderella got a ticket to the dance.
Anything can happen because it's sports but UF has won 28 games by double digits this year. This is a business trip and they are all business right now. Wilbekin is going to D up Comer like he was stickem. Don't expect a lot of running and gunning for alley oops either. UF has a huge height advantage in this game and a smothering defense that will force FGCU to make jump shots. This is a 25+ beat down in the making but feel good about your ML bets. They may serve as great kindling when it's cold outside.

They haven't seen a defense like the Gators.
I'm going around in circles here, they will not be allowed to go off shooting.
Fielier will not get his 12 and 5 Friday night, he's a string bean at 205.
Murphy and Young will rag doll him all night. Young is a beast at 270 lbs.Comment -
I think you're crazy to touch either DD dog this week (Oregon or FGC).Comment -
Oregon is a better play than FGCU I think, but I agree that neither should be touched.Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
U bank with Florida Gulf Coast!! Period!!!god knows I have! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ sharps best team to roll with!!Comment -
+13, sure. ML, no.Comment -
who does this gulf coast team have that can hang with the gators?Comment -
fgcu all da wayComment -
Nobody, which is why they were/are a 15 seed. The only thing that got them this far is that they play well collectively as a team.Originally posted by DiloComment -
Jeff Van Gundy spoke highly of FGCU talent last night during the Heat Game. But I guess what the fuk does he know. But they have beaten Miami/Georgetown and unless those teams just shit the bed they have some talent. Rubber meets the Road this Friday Night in Arlington, TX.Originally posted by mcdugglyComment -
They definitely do have talent from what I've seen, but they don't have a standout guy who will get drafted in the first round of the NBA draft anytime soon.Originally posted by Easy-Rider 66Comment -
Agreed. But how many 1st round picks are on Florida's team? Checked out a couple of mocks and did not see one Fla player going in 1st round. It will be an interesting game.Originally posted by mcdugglyComment -
why is everyone on fgc all of a sudden, way to jinx the win
Comment -
Guess I just don't have the ballsComment -
Good call, I didn't even think about the other side. I still think they have a several guys that would be drafted though. Maybe not first round, but they should be drafted somewhere.Originally posted by Easy-Rider 66

From the responses on this thread, I don't think many people are taking them to win. If anything, they're just taking the points.Comment -

Huh, most mock drafts only include seniors or guys that are sure to declare. UF has only 3 seniors.
Kenny Boynton - McDonalds all American out of HS (#8 player in the nation). Considered the 38th ranked senior. He will probably go undrafted or late 2nd round.
Erik Murphy - Parade All American considered an early 2nd round pick
Mike Rosario - McDonalds All American, led St Anthony's to a 32-0 #1 team in America. One of the most prolific scorers in prep school. Transferred from Rutgers and redid himself under Donovan. Considered an early 2nd rounder.
I think Murphy and Rosario will end up 1st rounders after pro camps.
Patric Young would have been a 1st rounder if he came out last year. He's dropped a bit this year but can make up some next year. Scottie Wilbekin will be a solid pick as a lock down defender. Michael Frazier II is going to be a top 10 when it's all said and done. Kid can shoot lights out.
Billy Donovan plays a style of basketball that does not accentuate any one player. Guys learn fundamentals and how to play quality basketball. Look at the NBA talent he has put out in the last decade. Calipari may put out more guys but are they as solid as BD's?
Just the other week there were several articles talking about how so many Gator players were having tremendous performances. Here's a cut/paste of one.
Joakim Noah, Chicago Bulls (C): Noah concluded the month of February with a spectacular triple-double against Philadelphia, which included 23 points, 21 rebounds and 11 blocked shots. He then opened March by posting two more double-doubles in back-to-back games against Brooklyn and Indiana.
Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks (C): Horford has averaged just over 20 points in the Hawks’ first three games in March, including a double-double against Denver where he scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
Chandler Parsons, Houston Rockets (F): The most amazing performance of the past week belongs to Parsons, who scored a career high 32 points on 12-13 shooting (6-of-7 from the three-point line) against Dallas on March 3. Parsons became the first player since Larry Bird to score 30-plus points, while shooting 92 percent or better and attempting at least five three-pointers according to ESPN.
Marreese Speights, Cleveland Cavaliers (F-C): The most surprising performance of the week was former Gator Speights’ 23-point performance against the New York Knicks on March 4. At one point in the game, Speights was a perfect 10-for-10.
Which ex-Gator had the most impressive week in the NBA

David Lee, Golden State Wartriors (F-C): Lee, the veteran of this group of ex-Gators, notched a double-double in each of his three games this week, including a 29-point, 11-rebound performance against Toronto on March 4.
Corey Brewer, Denver Nuggets (F): Brewer, coming off the bench, led Denver in scoring with 22 points, as the Nuggets won their 10th in a row by beating the Atlanta Hawks 104-88 on March 4.

Dude with dreads and the white point guard are pretty damn good. Think Billy Donovan schemes them and goes inside out seeing as they have no one who can hang with Patty Young down low.Originally posted by DiloComment -
my only concern is the way florida tends to give up leads in the second half and the way golf coast (as big john thompson calls them) seems to surge in the second half. i may stick to florida first half, which i never do.Comment -
