The Stephen C. O'Connell Center will be the site of the next Gator game and it is one which has been much anticipated by fans from both sides. The Wildcats of Kentucky are one game behind the league leading Gators and come into the game riding a five game winning streak. A win by the Gators and we move two games ahead of the Cats, while a win by them would really be a big plus and give them a tie in the league. There is no reason for me to go into any depth in my game description as it is already being more than adequately covered in the various threads in the forum and we have had a lot of good input from both Gator and Cat fans.

I see this as a game where Florida can make a statement and show they rightfully belong at the top of the SEC at this juncture of the year. Kentucky, even if the lose, will get a rematch in the last game so it is imperative the Gators don't let this chance slip through their hands. A loss tomorrow would be a big blow to their chances for an SEC Championship. With that said I pick the Gators by a dozen points in this first matchup of the year between the two teams.

Go Gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every year, this is the only game I ever actually feel anxious about until tournament time. I consider Kentucky to be our biggest rivals in basketball, so beating them always feels good and losing always hurts really bad.

Gators 71-62

What is the under/over on how many blocks their center Nerlens Noel will get?

I've seen Kentucky play three times this year and he's the best shot blocker I've seen without fouling than any other college player this season.

Wilbekin & Boynton will need to know where he is at all times if they attack the lane. Noel will block it if he's anywhere near. Our guards will have to kick it back out to Murphy or Rosario at times tonight. Patrick Young is going to have to step it up and get involved more in this game because of Noel.

Good luck guys. This is one of the few games before March that i'll actually sit through live and not DVR one second of it. I hope the refs are a non-issue. Hope for no injuries and hope to see Kentucky take UF's best shot and not break. My worry is a rough loss could really damage the teams confidence moving forward - and I've seen how you guys have treated many visiting teams so far this year. Kinda wish this game was in Rupp and we could work our way upto the away game.

Simply awful. I said if you guys hit 3's (currently 5 of 7) you would win. That being the case, the lack of fight out of Harrow and Goodwin has been appaling. Just pathetic. Harrow looked like he wanted to fly home to Lex 7 minutes into the game.

UK simply cannot afford to have Noel out of the game. Wilbiken looks like Rondo out there driving at will. If he's gonna get in there any time he wants, Noel has to be there too.

You guys are looking great though. Like the energy from everyone so far and impressed with Prather. Hate to say I told ya so, but I said he was the one that needed to step up!

There is a reason for that play. It limits the chance of tourning it over before half and giving the other team easy points. If coach has confidence in Boynton to make the shot then its worth it...risk vs reward

Valid point. iirc, Donovan has previously stated that he's inclined to just let the players play in end of game situations, so I guess similar philosophy here.

tdgator
02-12-2013, 08:06 PM
Noel hasn't blocked a bunch of shots but he has certainly altered them. I can remember a couple by Murp, and when Scottie gets in the lane with NN there he seems over-committed to pass out. He's a presence and out players know when he's there and when he isn't.
