Florida’s offense will destroy us in 2 weeks.

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I really wish people would look at games as isolated instances. Yes there's been more issues than just this game. But to look at OSU game and somehow conclude that's how we are going to play vs UF I think is the wrong way to look at things.

Everytime someone says something like this, the actual game comes and it's never true lol.

Ohio St shot nearly 70% from 2. If UF does that, yeah we'll get killed.

The odds of Florida doing that? Minimal.

 

[Gator Fever]

Not sure what to think of this game. The only tough game we had was NC but we did fight hard after blowing a big lead and won the game. Most of our OOC opponents are down this year but we have easily beaten some teams that aren't too bad.

I’m in the same boat. UK hasn’t looked great lately, but Florida hasn’t played anyone.. at all. UNC is garbage this year.

 

[Emarc]

Will it really take 2 weeks?

 

[Tayshaun4Three]

Yes. Cart and Williams or Carr and Garrison won’t work. We’re fortunate to have beaten Duke and Gonzaga with the current strategy.

The reality is this team isn’t good enough to make serious noise anyway, but it would be nice to see our best lineup out there.

Every time you post I get more upset that Coach Pope got the job when you could have done a much better job. What the hell was Mitch thinking?

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

People here don’t want to hear it, but we might be one of the worst teams in the SEC.

Another Leadbelly burner account.

 

[BBallin23]

Let’s wait a little longer to proclaim these things. He’s a first year coach who had to put a roster together in a month and already has wins over Duke, Louisville and Gonzaga. He gets a pass imo for this year. I’m sure they’ll end up fine this year.

 

[TheBlueMist]

The overreaction from the OSU loss is something to see. Some of you are suffering from PTSD from the last 5 years of Cal.

We're a decent but not great team. That said, I have enjoyed watching this team more than any of Cal's teams after the 2019-2020 team.

 

[JRandoUK]

This defense is pathetic. We have 2 good defenders. And the rest aren’t even decent. They are well below average. Florida game will get ugly. Pope is going to have to make this team a zone team and never play man to man in the sec. We won’t survive playing man to man in this league.

Agree

 

[L.O.D.]

Florida .......... there's 7 or 8 teams that destroy us in SEC if we don't get some give a damn flowing g through veins

Oh it’s much deeper than that. Guarantee you some of these people aren’t even that sad when we lost, as long as they can say, “Looky there, I told you we suck. Aren’t I so smart?”

 

[Padsfs07]

I don’t think Florida’s guards are as good as their ranking. They’ve been there for a couple years now, other than Martin from FAU, who’s stepping into Pullin’s old spot.

They miss what Samuel gave them inside some too.

They could certainly beat us of course.

 

[Padsfs07]

Also Florida is a lot more like Gonzaga than Clemson or Ohio St. They are top 10 in scoring like us and the Zags.

 

[BBNinSC_rivals62411]

Damn bro, you straight jumped ship lol

This is an Arkansas fan.

 

[BBNinSC_rivals62411]

Kentucky is 10-2 with wins over 2 top 10 teams and currently ranked #10 in the country.
There are 4 teams ranked ahead of us with 2 losses and 16 of the top 25 have 2 or more losses at this point in the season.

Kentucky will finish in the top 4 of the SEC and remain a threat to go far in March

 

[catsfanbgky]

If Florida gets their *** beat by Kentucky will you crawl back under your rock?
That's about the 5th post you have made trashing this team.
You were made out to be a fool over and over. I remember the stupid **** you posted pre Duke game.
FAKE FAN OH AND EAD

Well what happens IF Florida beats UK ? Will you crawl under a rock ? Look, some do not want to admit it, this team has SEVERAL flaws. Not physical, not athletic enough, and one that really confuses me, do not get after it for 50/50 balls. They are getting out hustled on plays. I stated the lack of physical play, not athletic enough to get there own shots, and struggle rebounding, but the lack of hustle is one I didn't see coming. I never thought teams would out hustle UK. They had better get that fixed with a quickness, because living and dying by the 3 is a hard way to make a living. The lacking physicality and being athletic will not go away, so we have to win by hitting 3s and hustling or it will be a very bad SEC season. Chose to ignore the obvious signs if you want to, what ever makes you sleep better at night. I can still be a UK fan and have concerns, it doesn't have to be all "everything is great", smart fans know that though.

Yes. If you look at UF's schedule they haven't played many top tier teams. UNC and Virginia are maybe the best. They shoot the 3 ball well with their guards especially Clayton. So we need to get in their grill and contest those guards up close. Their big guys are pretty good too but to me, they aren't world beaters.
We will have to make 3 point shots at a much higher clip but I don't think UF will play a grind it out game like OSU.
I like our chances against them.

The person I quoted has done nothing but trash this team from day 1.
He isn't a Kentucky fan. I've had it with these trolls.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Exactly. Physical teams that try to beat you up is where we are going to have issues.

 

[UKortho]

l believe we have some worsening locker room problems.

Really interested if you are on to something here @LmdCat Have you spoken to Pope about this?

 

[Runt#1969]

Bottom line for me : I have faith the team will be fine.

A big loss to seriously waken them up before conference play might just be the thing to help toughen them up for the rough road ahead.

Keep the faith

Florida will most likely open as a 1 point favorite. Seriously doubt the game will “get ugly”. What’s your definition of ugly? 10-12 points?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

We can't be losing home games. We need to win the FL game.

 

[Tayshaun4Three]

What if we did this?

FLA - W
@ UGA - W
@ MSST - L
TXAM - W
BAMA - W
@ VANDY - W
@ TENN - L
ARK - W
@ MISS - L
SCAR - W
TENN - W
@ TEX - W
VANDY - W
@ BAMA - L
@ OK - L
AUB - W
LSU - W
@ MIZZ - W

13-5 SEC Champions. Is it likely? No. But it’s also not undoable

 

[anon1751545683]

We will beat Fl.

Not sure what the Fl fans here will use as an excuse. I guess we will find out?

 

[Randy Bob]

Hope with all the time off our team get their stuff together, Fla has a very good team and coach, hard to speculate but I try being optimistic.

 

[KyCPA2000]

This team was built to outscore the opponent. The problem is we are not shooting the ball well lately. That has to change or it could get ugly. We will see.

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

If we dont clean up ball screen defense, it wont be just Florida that gives us nightmares. Its an sec staple.

Who told you what the opening line would be? If you don't have proof of this, you should STHU. This isn't a board for stating opinions according to you. However, I am sure that you will explain why your opinions are different. I will help you. If your opinion is one that is considered positive, it will get plenty of support even if it isn't the truth; however, God forbid if your opinion isn't positive.

Notice that person said “most likely” so it isn’t the same as you. You didn’t say anything alluding to an opinion. You acted like you had inside knowledge and got called out for it lol. More projection.

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Yep KP predicts UF 83 UK 82 so the 1 point seems reasonable.

Tho, given the way we've played recently, one could make the argument it should be more.

Bottom line, the prediction will be within a possession or two and could go either way.

Florida has outstanding guards. Pullin was a true pg and a big loss. Gators have been going with Clayton and Aberdeen at pg.
I think Chinyelu is better than Samuel. Gators a handful
