Tuesday will be a big night at Mizzou in terms of national media attention, but probably not that big a night in the grand scheme of things.

But duke is overrated just as much as Mizzou, and UK this year. So I don't see how they can downplay the scenario if UF goes to Mizzou then to UK and wins. Also they still have to go to Tennessee who is a tough team to beat, at a tough venue.

NEED to go into Columbia tuesday and get that win 'on the road'; otherwise, pundits just remember the 3 to 4 losses on the road - becomes a gnawing issue for UF's resume.

He also said Larkin was a better PG than Scottie which IMO is not true. If anything I'd say it's a push if not favoring Scottie.

Miami has the better resume.

Is it really that preposterous to say that Miami is slightly better than UF? Come on guys have some perspective. Miami is playing unbelievable basketball right now. They may or may not be better but for someone to say that they are slightly better is not by any means ridiculous or crazy.

Bettin they put UF and canes in same bracket in NCAA:yes

lean_gator · 02-17-2013, 05:11 PM

Hopefully we see them in the tourney......

**mjbuf05** · 02-17-2013, 05:12 PM

Miami is a very good team. I would not want to play them until the final 4.

**gator1986** · 02-17-2013, 05:13 PM

They stack the SEC agains each other in every sporting tournament. JMO

**gatordee** · 02-17-2013, 05:13 PM

Arky will not shoot like they did against us the rest of the year. They just could not miss!

Isn't that kind of the point of the thread, that it is debatable? The only reason Miami has the "better resume" is because of their wins over Duke and Michigan State, both at home. They haven't played a single tough road game and they lost big neutral court games. We haven't lost at home, but we then get downgraded because of the losses on the road and neutral courts. If Miami has a better resume because of big wins at home, then you can't really count our road losses against us without also taking theirs into account.

**mjbuf05** · 02-17-2013, 05:19 PM

Nc st is better than any road win we have.

But Wisconsin and Marquette are both better than them...

But that's not the point. Katz says Miami is better because they don't have a "bad loss." That's clearly not the case. All their losses are worse than ours.

I agree but he was talking about road wins.

TampaGatorFan · 02-17-2013, 05:25 PM

Katz was drunk. Only someone who was hammered would spout off such inane drivel.

GatorPlanet · 02-17-2013, 05:27 PM

Still reeling from getting bitch-slapped by Boeheim.

UFish · 02-17-2013, 05:34 PM

This is nothing to get worked up over. It's not like anyone with any credibility at all said it. Even if someone as sharp as Dykes or Bilas said it, and that would warrant some listening, it would still just be their opinion.

Andy Katz and his "basketball knowledge" aren't worth the time it took for me to post this.

Right, and I think home advantage only works against certain teams. I don't really think home field, should affect well coached teams like Florida.

tommyuf21 · 02-17-2013, 05:41 PM

I suprised that noone pointed out Katz's insistence that Will is lost for the season.

There's no factual information to back up that assertation.

Haven't played a single tough road game? Ok.

Top 50 road wins:
@UNC
@NCST

we don't have a top 50 road run. Not ONE.
