Arizona or Florida? Who you got?

Zona. I just don’t think Florida is much this year. I think they’ll be decent but lose close to 10 games. Ranking purely based off last season but they lost Clayton Jr and Aberdeen.
It’s early but 4 of Arizona’s 7 players that have played have never played a college game. I didn’t do any research of them pregame so I’m surprised seeing the line now in retrospect.
On paper at least that doesn’t feel like a top 15 team. Peat and Burries have to be BIG time for that to be the case.

Watching the game. It got me wondering about Fland and why did he really leave Cal. It couldn’t be the money because Cal has chicken money, I wouldn’t think. Anyways not turning it into a Cal thread just wondered if there’s more to the story. Florida is better I think but Arizona is playing good, I’m taking them.
Man I love basketball season!

Koa Peat could be the #1 pick in the NBA draft
“Koa Peat” - not just Peat. As if there are a bunch of Peats on the floor and we might get confused.

I’d do Garrison and Jelavic. Aberdeen is going to be a very important piece for us this season.
He’s better than DJ and isn’t gonna sit behind him like Reed and Dilly.
They lost FOUR guards, three of whom were starters and the three leading scorers. Florida's good but Fland ain't Clayton.
I didn’t think Florida was very impressive. Wouldn’t be surprised if they lost 10 or more games. They couldn’t guard anyone on the perimeter.
Good call. That matches what I just watched
Florida’s front court will be a hard out for anyone this year. Big win for Zona.
Florida had to take a step back this year. I am not surprised they lost. Kentucky seems to be the frontrunner for the SEC this year. We shall see. But Florida will be a tough out. No doubt.
Florida looked exactly what I thought they would look like.
Their front court is tough, and very good.
Their guard play is a HUGE drop off from last year, and was quite frankly an issue last night. Lee and Fland were a combined 8/26.
Lee played his entire career vs Harvard and Yale. Arizona is a huge step up. He's an ok player. But the media have been acting like Florida went out and got this elite guard. People are getting a little too cute with their "I know ball" stuff.
Fland has talent. But he dominates the ball. He takes too many tough mid range fade aways. Arkansas got better after he was hurt last year. He has to learn how to play at the college level.

I'd caution to put too much stock into single games especially at the beg of a season.
Florida, like Purdue will be just fine

Not just losing Clayton Jr., but losing Will Richards is a VERY big loss. Same for Martin. Richards did a lot more for the team than he got credit for. He is never mentioned.
I think Florida will be "fine." I don't think they will be top 5.
We were "just fine" last year.
