SEC Season Thread

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

SEC play kicks off in 4 hours. Cats got a tough one in Gainesville. Place should be sold out and rocking. We should find out if Ole Miss is legit as they go to Tenn. Miss St at South Carolina should be good. Auburn goes to Arkansas. Some fun games in week 1.

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Men from boys time.

I’ll be there today to cheer on the Cocks. That gametime site is legit for last minute & much cheaper tickets! Paid more in fees than I did for tickets.

Yeah, now it gets hard and really counts.

Let’s head to the swamp! Good luck in Conf play everybody.

 

[JimboBBN]

Adou not playing tonight hurts our chances. His energy and rebounding would be huge against a solid rebounding Gators team

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Damn Florida plays fast. Cats and Gators are flying down the court.

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Good game in Columbia. Miss State is big as all get out.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

How long you going to keep your best player on the bench while Florida goes on a huge run Cal?

 

[JimboBBN]

Florida with TWO banked in threes in one half. Garbage.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

That banked in logo 3 was huge for Florida. Please play Reed Sheppard the entire 2nd half. The ball moves so much better with him on the floor.

He needs to be playing 35 mpg.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Bradshaw is killing us.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Missing two front ends with our best shooters at the line might come back to haunt us unfortunately.

Not to mention missing a shit ton of wide open three-pointers.

 

[Gater4Life]

Both teams struggling from 3 and both teams struggling from the FT line but both teams have played really hard and it made for an entertaining game. Florida has played really poorly in this 2nd half. We will see if they can hold on.

And having a bunch of soft ass front court players that won't fight for rebounds or loose balls.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Why the **** is Shep not on the floor??

Nevermind

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Glad Bradshaw saw me call him out in this thread and responded.

 

[Gater4Life]

Very entertaining game. Those looked like 2 pretty even teams. UF just played a terrible 2nd half. Effort was there—execution was not.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Whyt the **** is Shep taking the ball out? Just dumb. UK caught a break earlier on that. It makes no sense

 

[IUfanBorden]

Awful execution by Florida....Wow.

 

[Gater4Life]

Awful execution by Florida....Wow.

Yeah, Florida did not play well at all.

 

[JimboBBN]

Good game, Gators. Expecting another tough one at Rupp.

Huge guts by the young Cats without Thiero

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Good road win for a young group. GG Gator fans.

 

[dukedevilz]

Did Sheppard even foul Condon in the closing seconds? Maybe he got some body, but it looked like a relatively clean block.

 

[954gator]

Good game Kentucky fans. We couldn't buy anything down the stretch. Team's gotta learn to make FTs SMH.

 

[Gater4Life]

This was my first time seeing Kentucky play. Were they missing any starters?

Not only did he foul him but he fouled him with 1.2 seconds and not .4. Officials botched that.

Looked clean to me, but still a huge brain fart by a really smart player. No need to contest that at all.

 

[954gator]

Clutch shot by the big man for UK was the key moment.

Yeah—UF is pretty good but FT’s have killed them.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Right after his block to cause a shot clock violation on the other end too. Bradshaw played like ass the first 30 minutes, but was clutch down the stretch for the most part.

 

[JimboBBN]

Missing Adou Thiero today. He’s started most of our games, and is also our second leading rebounder. Would have been nice to have against a good rebounding team like you guys.

Yeah that was a great block. He had a really tough angle to go get it. Don't think Condon even saw it coming.

 

[FlGator22]

Free throws matter. Kentucky wasn’t even great from the line. Just better than us. Yet I bet most our guys spend tomorrow practicing threes.

Ditto. UK missed a ton of wide open 3s too, especially by Reeves and Sheppard who are 46% and 56% from 3 on the year. At least UF banked in a couple, lol.

I knew the banks wouldn’t matter as Will Richard slowly moved to 0-7 from 3 despite great looks. Just no killer instinct despite being at home.

Both teams struggling from 3 and both teams struggling from the FT line but both teams have played really hard and it made for an entertaining game. Florida has played really poorly in this 2nd half. We will see if they can hold on.

When you bank in two 3's and catch fire from the outside the way Florida did in the first half, you can't say BOTH teams struggled from 3 point range. Florida isn’t a good 3 point shooting team from everything I've seen, but they were very good today.

That’s as bad as I've seen UK play this year. That environment must have been crazy.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

A big reason for the comeback was UK taking care of the ball. First half they were sloppy and had an uncharacteristic amount of turnovers. Cleaned it up in the second half and only had 2 and 9 for the game. Only had 6 assists though, which is very uncharacteristic of them. Much of that had to do with missing so many open shots though.

They had a stretch there in the first half where they were bombing threes, but they only ended up 29% for the game (below their season avg).
