Official Final: Florida - 60 vs Missouri - 63, Tuesday, 9:00 PM, ESPN

[HALLGATOR]

The second road game in the last three days sees the Gators travel to Columbia Mo. to take on the Missouri Tigers for a return engagement. I think there is little doubt the Tigers have this game circled on their calender after the 83-52 shellacking Florida put on them the first time around in Gainesville. In that game the Tigers were without one of their key players plus they were on the road so I expect a bit tougher test for our guys this go around. A win on the road to a good team, who may also make it to the NCAA Tournament, would really look good for the Gators. It would also go a long way toward the goal of winning the regular season SEC title. With Missouri currently four games behind Florida another loss here would just about assure them being out of the race. The Gators are in the driver's seat with respect to how the league will play out they just need to keep the hammer down, so to speak.

Go Gators!!

Big BIG Game!

[JohnC1908]

It's on!

[sec1]

big big game .... we cant just show up like we did at arky , we need to start fast , tough n smart , because mizzu will bring it for sure , they are great at home.. Go Gators!!

[born2beagator]

If we show up like we did at Arky we lose by 20. Simple as that. they will blow us out of the gym. That said, IMO we should win by double digits again if we play the kind of ball we have played in pretty much every win

[Jaggator]

Remember the start of our last game which resulted in the Gators pummeling Auburn at their place.

It was loud and 14,000 cheering the Tigers on and after the first 10 minutes that place became silent. Gators need to throw the knock-out punch early and show them who is KING of the SEC.

Worst Auburn loss since 1952.

[GatorLurker]

It was loud and 14,000 cheering the Tigers on and after the first 10 minutes that place became silent.

You have to hand it to the Auburn students. They show up even when their team is terrible.

[Jaggator]

Yes they do show up. The announcer even said something like the fans do their job at Auburn now it's time the team learn to step it up and play better.

[orlandogator]

This will be tough to win. They have only been soundly beaten by ranked teams and seem to be on par with the better SEC teams.

[gatorfansrule]

This team needs to show they can win against a good team on the road. So far they've only had 2 chances to show that and they lost both. This is as much of a must win as this team is going to have in the regular season.

[ThePlayer]

You have to hand it to the Auburn students. They show up even when their team is terrible.

That's because all the books in the library were already colored.

[The_Graygator]

I think the Arkie game was an abherration, but we definitely got a big game tonight at Mizzou.

I think we come to play tonight, but I'm not sure if we get the win.

I hope the Gators prove me wrong though.

[SmootyGator]

big big game .... we cant just show up like we did at arky , we need to start fast , tough n smart , because mizzu will bring it for sure , they are great at home.. Go Gators!!

We can't let them show up like Arky did at Arky. Honestly, we didn't play that bad at Arkansas. Arkansas just came out white hot. If any team comes out like Arky did that night, it'll be a long night for the Gators no matter what.

[akaGatorhoops]

I agree with those who say we need to start fast. Mizzou is an immature team and does not respond well to adversity. They fell apart in gainesville. If we jump on them, those memories will come flooding back and wash away any confidence in different outcome. And it will hush the crowd.

[UFSECKINGS]

We're gonna be fine in the long run.. But I have a real bad feeling about tonight.

[Jaggator]

That's because all the books in the library were already colored.


SOS is that you? :grin:

[ThePlayer]

SOS is that you? :grin:

I'm the illegimate son of that gun.

[tommyuf21]

We're gonna be fine in the long run.. But I have a real bad feeling about tonight.

I'm not expecting a win tonight. I think we're going to lose one of our remaining games and this is by far the toughest matchup and environment we'll face from here on out in the regular season.

I would be very happy to be wrong though.

[ETGator1]

Through 7 deep, I think we have the better player at every position:

Starting Lineup & Bench Players for the game tonight:

Missouri------------------------------------Florida

Laurence Bowers F 6'8"/227-------------Erik Murphy F 6'10"/238
Alex Oriakhi C 6'9"/255-------------------Patric Young C 6'9"/249
Phil Pressey G 5'11"/175-----------------Scottie Wilbekin G 6'2"/176
Keion Bell G 6'4"/200----------------------Kenny Boynton G 6'2"/190
Jabari Brown G 6'5"/205------------------Mike Rosario G 6'3"/183

Ernest Ross G 6'5"/222-------------------Michael Frazier II G 6'4"/200
Tony Criswell F 6'9"/240------------------Casey Prather F 6'6"/210
Ryan Rosbury F 6'10"/250----------------Devon Walker F 6'6"/191

I expect both teams to play most of the game with a 7 deep bench. Tell me any player Mizzou has that you would take over our player.

Florida 68
Missouri 65

Even without Yeguete, we'll get the win. On home or neutral courts, we'd blow them away again. Mizzou hasn't lost a home game since last February. That run will end tonight.

[ETGator1]

I'm not expecting a win tonight. I think we're going to lose one of our remaining games and this is by far the toughest matchup and environment we'll face from here on out in the regular season.

I would be very happy to be wrong though.

I think at UT will be a tougher matchup. The vols frontcourt will give us a rough time plus we don't usually play well in Knoxville. If the vols can get Young and Murphy into foul trouble, we'll lose the game. That can be said of every game until Yeguete gets back, but UT has the frontline that can put Young and Murphy on the bench with foul trouble.

[HALLGATOR]

I'm sure Billy has reminded them of teh somewhat lackadaisical job they did on defense in the Arkansas game. While Arkie was hot it didn't help that we just more or less stood back and let them shoot the first few shots from the perimeter which got them out to an early lead. We can't have a repeat of that tonight and they have got to play the kind of defense which has got them to the record they now have.

[akaGatorhoops]

Missouri is the best rebounding team in the conference. . . +10 per game.
In our first game with them, we flipped that number and had them minus 10. That will not happen this time with WY out and Bowers back, but we have to keep the board battle close.

[jeffphillips21]

Young needs to have a monster game inside and we need to hit our 3's. Get on them early and take the crowd out of the game

[gogators73]

This is either going to cement my belief that we can win a national title or make me question again exactly how far we can go because we just aren't used to winning close games.

I really want to see us pull out a hard fought, close game where we don't have our fans pulling us to the finish (not that any home games have really been close).

I'd prefer a game like the Auburn game. or any of our wins :)

[SwampFox]

Having been to this school a number of times, they love their hoop and have a respectable history in it.

However, Gators are a better team, strong crowd or not. I see the Gators by 12.

83-52 seems to be a popular MOV for this team. Why all the angst?

[boilertiger]

Missouri fan here.

Expecting a decent game tonight, but wouldn't be overly surprised with any outcome.

Will come down to how well Phil (Preseason SEC POY) Pressey handles the Florida pressure. Phil is one of the most talented, enigmatic and frustrating players in the conference and almost single handedly lost the UCLA, LSU and A&M games for us in the final minute of each game. The rest of the team is starting to play very well around him, and when he plays well we are an elite level team that can truly play with anyone on any court. When he plays well, it will take your breath away (see the first 35 minutes of the UCLA game when he had 18 points, 18 assists and 0 turnovers).

When he implodes (like he did against Florida and Louisville) then we are very mediocre.

Florida is one of the 3 best teams in college basketball from what I have seen. Absolutely love the way you play and your collection of players.

Our crowd is very legitimate and it could consume both teams for the first few minutes of the game tonight. Many Mizzou fans are used to having a game against kU this time of year so I would expect Florida to take the brunt of a lot of the pent up frustrations which are a product of no longer having that game on the schedule. With that in mind, there may be a ton of loud booing directed at Florida. It's also possible that this may impact how we treat your team.

With all of that being said, Florida is a very veteran team and I do not expect them to be rattled by the crowd. I am more concerned about the Tigers being overly amped and missing early shots.

[lean_gator]

Control Pressey like we did @ home, and we will win. Simple as that.

Rebounding continues to be our achilles heel.
One of these fine days we're gonna make it a priority.

Welcome to NBN and thanks for a different perspective. Join us if you want to in the game thread but a thick skin may be necessary.

We're second in the conference in rebounding margin. We're 17th in the country out of more than 300 schools. You're hoping for...what, exactly?

[Killer_Rabbits]

This big crap game is running looooooong.

[tegator80]

Early prediction time: big game by Scottie and PY, Prather will be the x factor. And a decent win by us.

[HALLGATOR]

One of my biggest concern is how quick with the whistles the officials will be.

[born2beagator]

One of my biggest concern is how quick with the whistles the officials will be.

and if they will get completely caught up in the home crowd like the Arizona game

[gogators73]

I think the IU/MSU game will run over (and maybe go to OT) so hopefully they put us on ESPN News and/or bump our tip-off time until 9:08 or something.

[akaGatorhoops]

One of my biggest concern is how quick with the whistles the officials will be.

A whistle-fest would be a huge problem for Florida, not only for depth reasons but bc Mizzou makes their foul shots.

[born2beagator]

classless game signs, rumored black out....I think this is going to be a pretty nutso environment. Lets have them quiet early please

[gogators73]

They said our game is 23 minutes away at 8:47 so if my horrible math skills are correct, our tip is at 9:10.

[boilertiger]

Judging by some of the game signs, I would say the gators are in for rude/classless crowd.

Signs are just the beginning.

kU players used to get harassed the night before when they stayed at a hotel in Columbia. The infamous student group known as the Antlers has a history of tracking down players phone #'s and repeatedly calling opposing players for days and even weeks ahead of games. Marshall Henderson caught the Antlers attention earlier this year and his sister now has a new phone number. The group was originally kicked out of games for pulling up next to the Arkansas basketball team's bus during the Nolan Richardson years with a dead pigs head hanging out of their car.

I'm all for college "tradition" and having fun, but that is taking it too far.

Need to shut the crowd up early tonight Gators

[akaGatorhoops]

Ironically, I sat behind the Mizzou bench for the game in Gainesville. Haith's son nearly broke down b/c he was being referred to as "water boy". This upset Frank so much that he got into a pretty heated verbal confrontation with the Gator fan.
I have to wonder if he will find the taunts by his own fans so offensive.
I suspect not.

[gogators73]

Alright IU/MSU is in their last TV timeout. I think we are fine for the 9:10 tip so now our biggest worry is OT. And the teams have a combined 8 timeouts. That ain't good!

No, he does not.

The Antlers have always been quietly embraced by the coaches.

Norm Stewart specifically used to encourage their behavior specifically against kU.

7-4 Gators

I love Erving but I think without him there it has reduced other guys crazy shots. We take much better shots this year. Sometimes I think when your PG is launching crazy ones (some went in and some were big time) you think you need to.

lol no. It's cos our other guys are older and more experienced.

[gottapanda]

Ugh. I'm at a bar so can't watch espn3. I've never seen so many official reviews as in this IU-MSU game. And it looks like they're going to use every single timeout. Both teams.

Fast paced game.

[gogators73]

Mike!!!! And then PY forcing a charge!

[tegator80]

They're making some contested 2s. We are making 3s.

[lean_gator]

Offensive rebounding keeping them in the game. Rosario has found his niche.

[gogators73]

How is that charge!!!!! His feet were moving and he was in the restricted arc

[lean_gator]

Wasnt he in the circle?

[iam4uf]

Bad charge call, SW barely touched him & it was all vertical, not moving into him.

Charge

[bakaduin]

Tough call but iMO that was a charge.

[born2beagator]

and its suddenly down to 6. Come on Gators!

[tegator80]

Scottie had a brain fart bringing the ball up. 20-14.

[iam4uf]

lol that call needs to be reversed, charge all the way. Also, Wilbekin continues to get too fancy with the ball.

[GatorWon]

That was a charge...home cooking call

[lean_gator]

Alright now KB

[born2beagator]

No reason to take that shot. Stop rushing it

[gatorbogey]

too early w/ that shot KB

[gogators73]

Launching a little too quickly from 3 right now. We can get better looks

[jcp]

That was not a good 3 attempt.

[iam4uf]

We need to correct things, not playing well rushing offensively.

[JohnC1908]

They need to calm down a bit.

[born2beagator]

We are just playing stupid now. Lead is disappearing

[iam4uf]

They're eating us up inside. This doesn't look good right now.

[bakaduin]

Rough call on that one.

[lean_gator]

They using the rim really well against us.

[gatorbogey]

KB on the elevator play for 3

[FloridaxGators1]

Boynton for 3

[bakaduin]

Wow that was a LONNNNG 3

[CASontag]

Don't worry, Missouri keeps turning over :-D

[JohnC1908]

KB!

[lean_gator]

Is Boyton angry? Lol. He playing mad.

[jcp]

Hahaha not a fan of that 3 but it went in so I will take it. :D

[born2beagator]

Well, if you want to rush it and make it, thats fine too. :P

[HALLGATOR]

25-16

[born2beagator]

Mizzou coach looked like he was about to cry there

[108]

have never seen this kind of whiny group of fans

must take after their coach

[JohnC1908]

I feel like once the boys settle down this should be a 15 point win. Hope I'm not too arrogant, just appear to be a lot better.

[born2beagator]

have never seen this kind of whiny group of fans

Arizona was like this

[CASontag]

Defensively UF is doing pretty well so far.

[tegator80]

You can tell that if we play more centered and not get too helter skelter then this game is an easy win for us. At least as long as the refs don't even it out.

[born2beagator]

I feel like once the boys settle down this should be a 15 point win. Hope I'm not too arrogant, just appear to be a lot better.

I really want to see us get an inside presence going for when we have our in game cold streak

[HALLGATOR]

Pressey with 0 points so far

[gogators73]

Pretty happy with everything so far.

Hopefully we can get up really big at half.

[born2beagator]

All about Mizzou on the broadcast tonight

[iam4uf]

We need to correct things, not playing well rushing offensively.

I say that & notice we're shooting 56%, lol but still it's not quite right.

[born2beagator]

4 points by the frontcourt. That needs to change

[gatorbogey]

gators shooting 55%, 50% from 3
mizzou is 39% and 14%

big stat is 1 assist to 8 turnovers for mizzou

[iam4uf]

Mrphy in the pot w/ a guard & Wilbekin just watches him.

[CASontag]

Well Florida's been playing mostly their small lineup so more perimeter scoring.

[gatorbogey]

triple team underneath and get the steal

[gogators73]

No post presence and that was a horrible pass from Murphy

[lean_gator]

Wtf is Murph doing man?

[bakaduin]

Turnovers! Murphy is having an Arkansas type game so far.

[born2beagator]

We can't get points in the paint. Like the score, but this really worries me.

[iam4uf]

What was that Rosario? lol

[CASontag]

Crap Murphy down

[born2beagator]

Really guys!!! SMART basketball. Come on

[gogators73]

Crap Murphy is down

[gatorbogey]

murphy down - took a charge, blow to the head

[born2beagator]

Basketball gods screwing us over on injuries :(

[HALLGATOR]

Murphy is down and hurt

[jcp]

have never seen this kind of whiny group of fans

must take after their coach

I have on ignore one of the worst offenders to get some peace of mid. Try it, the thread becomes so much better. :D

[bakaduin]

Some definite home cooking so far.

[lean_gator]

Here we go with another fawking injury

[jcp]

Murphy please be OK. :(

[iam4uf]

It feels like we're tied, not w/ a lead.

[gatorbogey]

5:31
25-18 uf

[HALLGATOR]

Walking off now, looks OK

[tilly]

Charge much?

Prather! :-)

[tegator80]

The O is not using all of the clock and they are rushing to shoot. The D is still playing well but we need to get centered on O.

[lean_gator]

Prather a baller

[gatorbogey]

nice post move by prather, good find by scottie

[born2beagator]

Nice no call on the travel.

[CASontag]

Looks like Murphy is okay.

[HALLGATOR]

27-18

[bakaduin]

They are straight up running full speed into our guys without charges.

[born2beagator]

It looks like the Mizzou player tried to catch Eric's head to stop him hitting the floor

[jcp]

Walking off now, looks OK

Yeah, he looks OK.


Will we ever get a charge?

[GatorWon]

Wow....these damn refs...no charge for mizzou

[CASontag]

Now UF needs to build on this lead with the few minutes left in the half.

[tegator80]

Mr Frazier is a player. Very poised.

[gogators73]

I don't think Frazier even knows people are watching him. Just complete confidence.

[Noahtogo24]

Yes Frazier!!

[born2beagator]

Nice hit both

[gatorbogey]

MF2 hits 2 of 2 fouls
19 ft's in a row for him!

Kid is money at the line

[born2beagator]

Screw you lucky 3 pointer.

[gatorbogey]

long 3 for tigers

[jcp]

I guess they can also score a long 3.

[born2beagator]

Refs like hawks on the whistles for Mizzou

[gatorbogey]

2nd foul on PY [didn't really see it]

[Noahtogo24]

Dang that was from NBA land....

[lean_gator]

I would like to see Prather take that open 3 more. They've playing way off of him.

[trufloridagator]

2 on Pat?

[born2beagator]

I really hate where this game is headed right now. If we go cold from the arc we are in trouble without inside scoring

[gatorbogey]

tigers avg 84 during league play at home
so far have 21 w/ 3:55 left in 1st half

[gatormoe1]

Doesn't look like the refs are going to call this one even..

Nothing earth shattering but home team is definitely being favored.

[born2beagator]

Yup. Refs doing their job with the home cooking

[tegator80]

I guess they can also score a long 3.

Anything can happen at home. But if that is what they do the entire game then that is okay by me.

Just need to keep it reasonae to the half

Didn't expect them to. Gators have to get hot and take this game out of their hands. Don't think we can count on calls tonight

[iam4uf]

2nd foul on PY [didn't really see it]

One of PY's fingers touched their player's finger...

[HALLGATOR]

2 PFs on Patric but luckily we are getting close to the half

[gatorbogey]

let's have a solid final 4 minutes heading into the half here, gators!

[iam4uf]

UF's FG pctg is going down while Missouri's is going up. It's slight, but something to track.

[born2beagator]

2 PFs on Patric but luckily we are getting close to the half

I think you have to sit him. Refs are going to be looking for a cheapy on him for a 3rd before the half

[HALLGATOR]

Overall I don't think the officials have been doing too bad.

[austingtr]

Refs are ridiculous. We should be used to it man. I'm personally sick of it.

[CASontag]

Billy said UF needs more of an inside out game.. taking too many 3s during timeout interview.

[jcp]

Overall I don't think the officials have been doing too bad.

I don't know, the charges are pissing me off.

[gatorbogey]

walk this way....

[HALLGATOR]

Great defense inside

[gogators73]

Damn Murphy is off. Even when he has plenty of time.

[born2beagator]

We are taking some really bad shots

[lean_gator]

Murph is killing us tonight

[gottapanda]

Lol murph was definitely not OB

[CASontag]

Hopefully Murphy will get going offensively in the 2nd half.

[gatorbogey]

murphy cold tonight
getting open looks

[HALLGATOR]

Murphy can't buy a basket

[bakaduin]

Murphy 3 pt % is going to drop a bit after this game.

[JohnC1908]

Murph couldn't be colder.

[CASontag]

Down to a 6 pt lead *dang*

[born2beagator]

Shove it refs!!!!!!!!!!!

[gottapanda]

We are missing Pat big time right now

[Noahtogo24]

4 to 1 inside, how does freaking Bowers get the rebound...

[HALLGATOR]

29-23 with 3:02 left

[gogators73]

We need to keep the lead here or extend it. Feels like Mizzou is on the verge of a run.

[iam4uf]

Bower's rebound over our guy with his arms extended perpendicular to get the rebound, hmmm... how does that work refs?
