Realistically, we hit our peak a couple of games ago. I just hope we can keep this within 35 points. I think the last time we made a 3 was before Christ's birth.

Agreed. I'm not sure we've played well since the Vandy game.

This game may have just gotten a lot more costly... Please be ok!

Looks like UF just ended our tournament hopes as well. Hope they got a great feeling out of cutting Mitchell. What a dumb, dirty move!

 

[WAR]

UF started 0-10 from the 3 pt line; 8-11 since.

Long season, a ton of wear and tear, and very little depth.

 

[MOAN]

As you wish, but it's both. Seven man rotation means thin talent and the ones who do play are leg-weary, to revive an old southern expression...

I know what leg weary is. Been there done that. Talent in numbers will come in a year or so. My hats off to our guys regardless. Any other time and place I think we could have made a game of it.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

It's usually the losing frustrating team that takes a shot...

 

[rolltide2213]

well i guess this one is over.

 

[Saban14]

Best news to come of this game - seeing Tebow cry. Again.

When you have a team with the shooting talent they have and they get as hot as they are right now, there's not much you can do. They're shooting well behind the line and it doesn't make any difference to them whether they're covered or not. Perfect storm...

 

[12ROLL12TIDE12]

Well at least they showed the SEC Championship highlights + Tebow crying. That makes me feel a little better!

 

[rolltide2213]

we better play better than this against georgia saturday.

That never gets old!

Well you win a game over Kentucky and Tennessee (who didn't have Hopson) and you start to think hey we might can do something. But then Kentucky loses to everybody on the road, so we shouldn't read anything into that. Just need more players, plain and simple.

And Tennessee lost to MSU at home as well. I'm getting the feeling our SEC record is very deceiving.

I've always known that, but never expected us to win 11 games in a weak SEC. I'm more than thrilled with this season's outcome.

I hope we do, but Grant has been successful in getting this team to play above their heads. This kind of loss can really hurt, when they see what a hot shooting team can do to them. We'll find out a lot about their toughness this weekend. If we don't beat UGA convincingly, I'm afraid it's going to be the NIT...

 

[Saban14]

Im not going to get negative. I am so happy with the way our guys played, and the maturity/mental toughness they have shown in a lot of games this year. I love what CAG is doing here, while this loss may prevent us from making the tournament, I am still very excited about the future. We need to forget this one and beat UGA.

Bruce Pearl said it best. Florida has a lot of reason to win this game. Watch them lose to Vandy and us beat Georgia!

I have to agree as I don't think any of us would have thought even an SEC West Championship was possible. Hell, we may end up being co-champs if we can handle uga.

What a disaster the second half was. :-( 78-51 final.
