On Sportscenter this afternoon they were asking him who is better team between Miami and UF and he says he'll slightly favor the Canes because they don't have a "bad loss". Umm they lost to freaking Florida Gulf Coast University dude. I'd say that's a "bad" loss.

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.

Did Uconn's coach call him stupid?

**gator1986** · 02-17-2013, 04:27 PM

I love how no matter what UF does, ESPN does everything they can to avoid talking about them.

What is our bad loss? Ark? They are actually pretty good at home. I wouldn't even consider it that bad of a loss in retrospect.

That's what it is, I don't know lol I don't pay attention to those crappy teams and their coaches =), either way he was right!

Miami is playing good ball but they're going to flame out early in the tournament. They're like Missouri from last year.

How much tournament experience does that entire team have between all of them? My guess is not many, if any at all. The NCAA tournament is a whole different ballgame.

It isnt the loss that was bad, it was how bad we lost. Being down by 27 in the second half on espn is never good. But losing to florida gulf coast is 100 times worse.

It was lopsided...so that made it bad...but certainly not Florida Gulf Coast Community Academy Junior College For The Blind bad.

my personal favorite is that every time we lay a beatdown on a team it's always about how bad the team played, not how good we are. There must be a LOT of bad teams out there

Yes I have noticed that. Or we beat down a team but they weren't that good anyways. But the crappy teams in the ACC, big 10, big 12, big east, PAC 12 are way better than the crappy teams in the SEC lol!!! Those analyst are so damn dumb!

Katz usually talks up Florida, so I suspect it has more to do with the fact that Miami is very hot right now and has that great "resume building" win against Duke.

gatorbogey · 02-17-2013, 04:43 PM

miami IS playing well! they are in the discussion for a 1-seed. so is UF. still some basketball to be played. gotta keep winning to solidify that position. of course, instead of just talk, the discussion may likely be resolved on the court.

The ironic thing is that Katz would probably say that Miami was missing Johnson. Of course this UF team has been dealing with injuries to important players all year long. Also the KSU loss has become much more respectable as the season has worn on. At the time it was not viewed very well.

Even though Duke has been mediocre at best without Kelly.

GatorPlanet · 02-17-2013, 04:46 PM

Well, I don't want facts to get in the way of Katz' opinion, but here they are:

In addition to losing to traditional powerhouse Florida Gulf Coast, the Hurricanes also lost to a 16-10 Indiana State team on a neutral court, and got blown out by Arizona by 19 on a neutral court. Yeah, the same Arizona team that beat Florida by 1 point on its home court.

ETGator1 · 02-17-2013, 04:51 PM

Somebody send Katz a memo about Yeguete playing 1 minute at Arkansas and that Prather was still hobbled from his high ankle sprain. Arkansas is a better loss than Florida Gulf Coast by far.

To split hairs about excellent PGs is ridiculous.

Wisconsin punk slapped Ohio State today so our ooc just took a turn for the better. Marquette is tied for the Big East lead to boot.

**gator1986** · 02-17-2013, 04:53 PM

Can everyone seriously stop! Andy Katz says Miami is better than UF so of course it's true!!!!

GatorLurker · 02-17-2013, 04:54 PM

Miami is playing well and deserves the attention they are getting.

And if they go to Duke and blow them off the floor I would say that would have earned the overall #1.

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.

ETGator1 · 02-17-2013, 04:54 PM

I like Arizona. They'll make mistakes of the young, but they're awfully good. Sean Miller is a good coach. Still, we had them beat and should have beaten them on their court.
