Positives going into this game.

1. Florida can't be taking us very seriously considering how they have beat us like a drum the last three years and how we played against Auburn.

2. We can't play much worse than we did at Auburn. That is in taking advantage of our opportunities. Remains to be seen whether Florida even let's us get any chances.
3. Carmouche will have a better game. He is a solid player and just needs to relax more and let the game come to him and not try to force anything. Same with Coleman.
4. Hickey and Stringer are playing great defense and offense. Making all those guys who said they weren't tall enough to eat their words.
5. One of these games Hammink or Morgan are going to come out aggresive and start hitting some shots. Hopefully Collins will be back and 100% also.

Even if all o this comes true we will still need a lot of luck on our side. Florida is just that good!

Geaux Tigers! One of the few reasons I miss living in BR is Saturday afternoon SEC basketball games. I have time to liquor up at the Chimes before tipoff and then walk on over to the PMAC

Early line favors Florida by 9-1/2 points FWIW.

I expected it to be more. I had LSU losing by 9 so I guess it's right where I was thinking... KenPom.com has LSU losing by 16 and he is normally right on.

I expected about 14-15. I won't be taking the points. Not enough for me.

I jumped all over FL when I saw that spread. We will have to play beyond our talent and FL will have to come out flat for us to keep it under double digits.

I'm just hoping we play better ball tomorrow. Our last three games have been very uneven.

I don't expect to win. I see Florida as a legit Final Four threat and just too talented for us.

I realize where we are, but we can play better in that context than we have of late, and that's what I'll focus on tomorrow.

We have had Florida's number in BR. We'll need a great shooting game tomorrow.

We have shown at times that we can shoot well. But we need to get down the court first and we haven't been all that great against lesser presses.

If we can get past that a little better shot selection than we had against Auburn would help, and make the damn layups we get. Carmouche and Collins missed 6 between them.

How much can you normally land tickets for outside of the arena for games like this?

Dope. I will probably walk over there sometime around 2-ish and scoop up a couple of tickets.

I'll be at work but I'll be there in spirit. Hopefully the SS will be more packed than usual with everyone coming back to BR this weekend.
