Official Final: Florida-82 vs Southeastern La-43, Wednesday, 7:00 PM, Sun/SportSouth

[HALLGATOR]

After coming off an emotionally draining 1 point loss to Arizona the Gators next take on the Lions of Southeastern Louisiana. The Lions come into the O'Dome sporting a less than inspiring 1-7 record with their only victory being a 91-49 shellacking of Louisiana College. They share 2 common foes with Florida, having lost to Wisconsin 87-47 and Marquette 64-53.

There's really not much you can say about this game other than it is sandwiched in between Arizona and Kansas State. It may give the Gators a chance to work on a few things but I don't look for any serious challenge unless our guys just come out flat and uninspired.

Have never looked forward to a game against a bad team like I have tonight. Time to put the Az. game in the rear view.

[co_gator89]

I'm more looking forward to the Air Force game since I know someone on that roster.

[LoyalGatorFan]

I will not be able to see the game live tonight...do you know if it will be replayed on SUN at a later date/time or archived on ESPN online somewhere?

[JohnC1908]

Rosario feeling it tonight.

Not the greatest game overall but a good game to get out of the way before Kansas State.

[alietigator]

[gatordavisl]

Just checked in, watching online. Rosario is ON FIRE!

[gatorbogey]

murph called for an offensive foul: hook. wasn't that obvious.

[lean_gator]

Nice play by Frazier

[UFSECKINGS]

Breaking down the Gators offense at half of UC/Xavier on ESPN2 if anyone is interested.

[gatordavisl]

Frazier . . . WoW! Playing like an upperclassman. Great passing.

[lean_gator]

43-26, half

[iam4uf]

murph called for an offensive foul: hook. wasn't that obvious.

It was a "tiny" hook with the elbow & I don't think it impeded the defensive player from making a play, it wasn't like Murphy extended his arm & held the guy back.

[FranceGator]

I don't think Frazier passed that to Rosario. I think he dropped the rebound and it bounced to Rosario. Nice way to get an assist. [wink]

Just watched. Nice breakdown.

[lean_gator]

Boyton just can't get going....

[lean_gator]

48-26, bout 15 minutes left.

[gogators73]

Boynton is bringing nothing to us right now besides being a body. His confidence seems way down.

[gogators73]

Bad shot selection back to back by Boynton and Frazier II

[lean_gator]

Nice move Big Pat!

[lean_gator]

Prather with the steal and dunk! Up 28.

[lean_gator]

Hitting the outside shots!

[gogators73]

Ogbueze doesn't really do it for me so far this season.

Hope he can get better.

I'm really glad we had SELA before Kansas State. Can't emphasize enough how much the team needed a game like this.

[gogators73]

Big time slam from Young!

[lean_gator]

Young!

[gogators73]

PRATHER!!!

[CASontag]

Young then Prather....

Showtime! :-)

[lean_gator]

Prather! Good lawd!

[lean_gator]

Ogbueze doesn't really do it for me so far this season.

Hope he can get better.

Feel the same

[lean_gator]

Nice pass from Casey.

[gogators73]

Order of freshmen by how impressed I am with them:

1. Frazier II


2. Graham
3. Ogbueze
4. Walker

[gogators73]

Walker's shot is horrible. He has barely hit the rim every time he has shot this season.

[FranceGator]

Frazier, dude, let Jacob get a shot.

[TampaGatorFan]

I had predicted 83-43 Florida on ESPN.com. Close...very close... :joecool:

[born2beagator]

Needed to see them wallop some poor sod after that Zona farce

[HALLGATOR]

Almost doubled them up.

[gatormoe1]

I know its only a cream puff but only 3 pages tonight? Everyone must be out doomsday prepping or getting things for Xmas

Disappointment from Zona and sandwich game between Zona and KSU. Was a very short game thread though.

[tommyuf21]

It was blacked out on Dish up here in the Northeast. Watching the replay now.

Pretty fair assessment. Sort of surprised that Ogbueze and Walker are usually put in before Graham--when Graham's looked better in his limited time. Always see his hands up, selling out on defense whenever he's in...and those are the guys you can tell who are going to go far playing for Donovan. Had a very nice pass and move to the basket in the game too. Whereas Walker and Ogbueze try and shoot almost every time they're even slightly open, Graham looks to pass it around a bit more and plays more unselfishly.

[swampgas44]

+1 :awkward:

[swampgas44]

Pomeroy predicted 79-44. Should not have taken that last shot. :whistle:

Yea Ogbueze and Walker seem less composed than Graham and wayyyyy less composed than Frazier. Walker seems like he has some athleticism to him but he is going to be a Prather type player IMO. Not sure of himself and then hopefully adds productivity junior year. Ogbueze you can tell has quickness but is just nowhere near ready to get meaningful minutes. You're right, they both shoot almost automatically. Which is okay because I'm sure they're excited but I'd like to see them play within the offense and see how they are when the flow of the offense sets up a shot for them. Instead of hoisting it up if they are within 50 feet of the basket.

Prather can shoot the ball. Walker not so much.
