OK, after last nights game, the concensus in Gator Nation is that UF is really pretty good, just got beat by a team that's a little better. I actually think UF and LSU are about equal if you consider that Thornton and Mitchell hit some absolutely ridiculous shots, Calathes was subpar and it was still down to the last minute.

Do you guys think UF is NCAA worthy? What do you think their chances are down the stretch?

Good game last night. If Thornton is that good every night, he's pretty special. Too bad you guys aren't on TV much this year.

I think UF is tourney worthy but it seemed to me that UF hit some crazy shots too.

uf will make the tourney and can potentially make the sweet sixteen. you're right, we are very compatible.

That was no mistake, it was because of Temple

yes, but you guys need to win at least 2 of your last 3, and win a couple tourney games

Yeah, not much different than LSU other than

1) That loss to Georgia. LSU almost had its version against Arkansas.

2) LSU beat Florida. But I wonder if we win in Gainesville.

I think Florida is the 2nd best team in the SEC FWIW

I think UF has a quality team. Every time LSU got on a roll and the crowd was amped up, UF would put a nail in the coffin with a 3, it happened all game long.

You guys hung with us throughout the game, and on the way home listening to the stats you guys out played us in the paint, the bench outscored us, etc in almost every category.

It's just that this LSU team seems to hit shots when it matters and that's what happened last night.

UF was playing good D, shooting lights out until the last stretch. I think you guys have a shot.

Florida is very good. I think they will be a force in the SEC tourney due to depth.

That's what makes us better. We hit those shots. You didn't.

That would be like saying cj played subpar. but it was the defense and playing against better competition.

Be surprised if UF doesn't make the tourney. Hope ya'll do. Tired of hearing how down the SEC is this year. Hope SC and Kentucky make it too. Screw Tenn though.

for the most part, you guys are really jerks.

Anyone can get on a message board a be a dillhole to someone just because they happen to like another team. How about a little class every once in a while?

Is it really that hard to just agree or disagree or offer an honest opinion without showing your arse like a 4th grader?

I guess now I remember why I stay away from this place.

SEC sucks this year and LSU being at the top of the league with the team we have is a testament to that. That means that Florida sucks balls and will not make the tournament. Next Question.
