Strokes Post Game Comments

[108]

Adds a little salt to the wound

"I feel like we're the better team. They're ranked, but I feel like we're the better team."

"I'm not really even celebrating, man. We expected to beat these guys."

[G8RNTN]

If they are the better team then why does their record say different??? Caught a hot streak while we are down some valuable players. But to go that far with that comment shows he is on a win high.

[SmootyGator]

I think they are the better team given that:

1. It's on their home court.
2. We're missing Yeguete and Frazier.

If we played at the O'dome and we had WY and MFII, we would be the better team.... by a lot.

[gatordd]

yeah they are better when we are playing with 6 guys

[btro1003]

And Wake Forest is a better team than Miami and Minnisotta than Indiana etc

[GatorNation850]

LOL enjoy the NIT UT

[gogators73]

Hopefully he gets a chance to back that statement up in Nashville.

[GothamGator]

Let's hope they are seeded opposite us in the SEC Tourney.

Hope we meet them in Nashville when we have a deeper team.

Stokes (Strokes) is just stroking it.

I don't mind the comments. Although obviously he must have been the only one not celebrating last night. It looked like the damn fourth of July out there once the buzzer sounded.

[Jaggator]

I'm going to use Peyton Manning's saying and turn it around and apply it to us.

"Until we learn to beat them, they have the right to say what they want."

[gatordd]

I just wanna say, I'm glad we don't have Stokes on the team. Kid seems like a cancer.

Stokes is a good guy. But, you know, whatever makes you feel better about that loss.

[REM08]

I think Stokes is a good guy and still wish we'd landed him at Kentucky. Florida fans would like him if they had him also.

I dont' know how you bash a kid for post game comments like this. Isn't that what you want players to think? He's got the right mindset whether its accurate or not.

Last night's game was indicative of how ludicrous basketball officiatiing is. The foul on Patrick Young right before the half, where he may, or may not, have even touched the Vol who leaped out of bounds under his own propulsion, flailing his arms wildly in a manner which would have had WWF fans yelling fake, fake, was so absurd the guy should have been fired for calling that!

I turned it off at the half because it was evident we couldn't win with a depleted squad and playing the guys in teh ugly orange shrits and the guys in the stripes too.

I don't think he should have made those comments. He plays on a team that at least as of right now is headed for a 2nd straight NIT bid and has underachieved up until 2 weeks ago. Now having said that, there is definitely something about Florida which inspires extreme confidence in Tennessee. It is easy for Gator fans to say they would want to play Tennessee in Nashville but do you think that is who the Gator players really want to face? I saw some doubt there last night.

We were missing 17% of our points per game, 27% of our rebounds per game, and 20% of our minutes per game. I'd say our guys would love a chance at full strength on a neutral court.

This is the 3rd thread I've had to make this point in. Florida isn't the only team in the country with injuries. That orange team you played last night is without a guy who was supposed to be their best player this year.

[tommyuf21]

I'd love to see them again. Of all of the team's that have beaten us this year, they impress me the least.
