Who scares you??

[number1]

1. Michigan State

2. Indiana

3. Michigan

4. Gonzaga (we have seen this act before ) lol

[madgator]

as for the teams I fear as far as our matchups go

in order;
Kansas
Arizona
Indiana
Ohio St (yes the same team that got killed today by Wisconsin....I want no part of this team)
Kansas St
Syracuse
Butler

for some reason Duke scares me as far as matchups go.....however they are AWFUL defensively. we should beat them

Michigan St. is not a strong team fundamentally or athletically but they are tough and Izzo can win them games. We should beat them 9 out of 10 times on paper. I just want no part of them.

Michigan we pound....miami is an aberration as far as elite teams go. they are maybe 12th or 13th best in the nation. a physical team with skill will beat them every time. They would lose 6 games in the big 10 this year.

Notre Dame is a team that I have respect for.

Teams that can pressure us in the back court and disrupt our high ball screens and drop back to guard the basket. That's the blueprint to beating Florida. Everybody has to be thinking how to take the perimeter away from us, some have the personnel to do it. I'm not sure which of these top teams do.

[dawny]

How about our schedule , is the SEC a weak link this year, we will see soon when the March Madness starts.

[gulfgator]

Right now I would say,
Gonzaga scares me the most, two big guys that can play, could be some matchup issues.

I know a number of people said AZ, and I know they beat us but, I think we take it to them if we meet on a neutral floor

Go GATORS!

Indiana and Tom Izzo.

Indiana has to be on the list. They are just fantastic. Has anyone seen their team's 3PT%?? Wow.
Louisville beat us last year, and their defense appears to be every bit as good as ours.
Michigan has some impressive offense.
Syracuse has nice balance. And they actually won at Arkansas.
Michigan St, Duke, and Miami seem to be pretty good too.

I guess the term "scare" is reserved for Indiana. The others on this list are still capable of beating us when we are having a good day. Indiana might be able to beat us when we are having a great day. Basically any other team in the final 32 can beat us on an off day.

Wes. . . I see your photo and raise you Tony Greene.

[oneatatime]

the refs when they are calling everything

Our lack of depth hurts us when the refs like to get on tv and the game becomes a foul shooting contest

[thedyc09]

Butler looks like a Final Four team this year. The tourney is different now. With the exodus of super-talented players and team continuity thrown out the window, teams like Butler that love to scratch and claw for points, hound you mercilessly on defense, and slow the game down to a crawl are absolute hell to catch tourney-time (as we know firsthand).

VCU is a match-up nightmare for anyone.

Wisconsin always scares me come March.

Michigan State

[gator2109]

I don't really consider teams we would meet in the elite 8 or final 4 worth listing here because those should be tough games.

For teams we would see before then I go with:

Wisky - have seen us this year and they have been playing better of late.
Minnesota - Have been up and more down recently but the B1G is a tough league. They have the horses to give us some trouble, especially inside.
OK State - Smart is one of the best in the NCAA and teams with a player like that can always take out some of the top seeds.

[grant1]

The only team that would worry me is the Gators! If we are off, play sloppy defense, and are a step slow (see each of our 3 losses), then we will lose to a decent team.

[mastoidbone]

Any team with multiple bigs.

[orlandogator]

Indiana Michigan State and gonzaga believe it or not.

[co_gator89]

The field is so open this year I wouldn't sleep on anyone. But to be more particular, MSU, Butler, Miami, and Indiana.

[Jaggator]

Judge Judy, Indiana, Miami, Syracuse, Michigan but not sure which order.

[drramer]

not the Canes

I'm not scared of Arizona on a neutral court. We dominated most of that game.
