Watching this Florida team is so much fun. The chemistry is fantastic and I love the amount of scoring you always have on the floor. They are playing some great ball and making each other better. Props to you guys!! You have one he'll of a team and you may be the first team in SEC history to go 18-0 in the SEC. Enjoy it my friends at NBN!!!

Yes, way to go Gators you're unbelievable.

themistocles · 01-19-2013, 04:18 PM

Well Jeff, 18-0 seems pretty unlikely, although 6-0 appears pretty likely right now, but the way this team has been playing over the past few games, with several injuries and against LSU with both Rosario and Prather out, while against A&M and Missou, Prather was gone, is pretty impressive.

Right now, at least, the Gators do appear to be the team to beat in the SEC.

One never knows, however, what the future will bring.

Nice post and thank you... Although 18-0 is a tall order...

HALLGATOR · 01-19-2013, 04:20 PM

Our next 3 games should be wins unless we have some kind of letdown. Then we have another really tough team coming in in Ole Miss. They also handled Missouri quite easily.

No doubt it's hard to do however you guys are like a machine and the SEC is what it is. Congrats to Billy D for his 400th SEC win!!!

Too early to peak. So glad there are turnovers/ball handling to work on. Regardless, they need to play well in feb and march to deliver the season we/they hope for.

And not counting on a win at Kentucky for sophmore day.

You are right it is a marathon and there will be some hoops to jump through but I love the way you look. The best thing is the players love one another and they are having FUN

Love the way this team is handling conference teams. They're good enough for me to start planning some road trips. Vandy, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri are all within driving distance of Chicago. Even Arkansas is conceivable. Lexington is the shortest drive and that's on a Saturday. Never been to Rupp and we match up better against Kentucky than in recent years. Might have to start making arrangements.

Thanks! Classy post as usual Jeff.

I thought Kentucky went through a season before undefeated in the SEC in their rich tradition basketball history.

Kentucky went 16-0 last season but now we have 18 games so it's possible we could be the first ones to accomplish that feat.

Thanks Jeff. Great to hear a class comment from ya as always. Gotta admit that this team has all our hopes up for the best they can be. Always looking for undefeated, but, as noted, it IS a marathon and anything can happen with young guys in this sport. Lets all just hope they continue playing really well, without getting hurt and act with pride. Of course, Donovan hitting 400 is a source of pride for the entire program here in my opinion. If nothing else, I believe our coach is a classy guy too and earning all the accolades he's receiving and earning. Thanks again!

bullish · 01-19-2013, 11:33 PM

DDCat, thanks for the kind words. 18-0 would be nice, but in all sports let downs happen. Last year ya'll had a team for the ages. This year we have a team when playing tough defense and sharing the ball, we will be a tough out. The experience factor is also prevalent. I hope we stay healthy and continue to improve. We don't have first round draft choices this year, but we have a team. Getting another conference championship should be a goal, winning the conference championship tournament would be nice but not really needed, and a deep run in the NCAA would cement this team's status. Final Four is the goal, not easy to get there, but with a little luck and continued improvement, it could be done. But first, there is a lot of B-Ball to be played.

Today I am smiling like a Cheshire Cat!

rep for you sir for the "sophomore game"!

got a nice quick chuckle out of that

gatorbogey · 01-20-2013, 04:35 AM

yep the "sophomore game" = witty. something the espn guys should catch onto. or a creative poster maker should come up w/ at an espn gameday event.

Go2gtr · 01-20-2013, 07:24 AM

No. Not going undefeated in conference play and it really doesn't matter. Don't put expectations through the roof because you're setting yourself up for a fall. Besides, it's just not going to happen.

**GothamGator** · 01-20-2013, 07:58 AM

Is it really true that there's never been an 18-0 SEC record? None of those old time Kentucky teams ran the table when we had ten teams and a round robin schedule?
