Omnibus Thread on SEC Tournament...

[Bazza]

With Condo expected to be out 2-3 weeks, Martin still questionable with that hip pointer, and another big, Sam Alexis go out last week with an injury, Micah decided to get back into the fray!

"It's the time that the team needs me, and I've been ready to play," Handlogten said. "I've had some, like, hesitation in the past, but I've moved on past that, and I'm ready to get out there and hoop for the Gators.”

Handlogten started 32 of 33 games for UF in 2023-24, averaging 5.3 points and 6.9 rebounds while shooting .644 from the field. His 108 offense rebounds ranked second all-time in Florida program history and his 17.9% offensive rebounding rate ranked fourth nationally.

In the end, and when healthy, Florida may turn out to be the best of the bunch.

 

[AUDub]

yeah I imagine the exact reason he’s burning that year of eligibility is that he is very much needed right now. Hope he gets back into game shape promptly.

OK Vandy....I see you........

Let's GO Bacon Bits!

 

[AUDub]

Vandy winning today would close to solidify a spot in the dance. Watching it carefully.

 

[Bazza]

Rocky Top with a strong second half. Vandy in it until the end but just couldn't make it happen....sigh....

Bacon Bits also goes down. Dang.....someone gotta beat the Aggies now!

 

[AUDub]

two of best teams in basketball squared off tonight. number 3 is also in the SEC.

What a time to be alive. Barnin' so hard.

 

[Bazza]

And Micah scored his first basket since his injury tonight. He played great and will only get better.

I was a little concerned about a possible hangover plus the lineup tweaks......but couldn't be happier with the effort from our guys tonight. Martin included, who has missed time with his injury.

And Denzel and Haugh....both with career highs!

@Bazza UConn lost to Seton Hall tonight. You what that means.

 

[AUDub]

“Oh God please let me die.”

 

[Bazza]

@Bazza UConn lost to Seton Hall tonight. You what that means.

I watched the end of that game. In OT....UConn was ahead....but couldn't get the in bounds in...twice. They had it - and then lost it. Fundamentals......

it may end up being a meaningful loss. As of now UConn is still in but they are slipping to the bubble.

Got a big addition today. One of the top JUCO prospects. 6’7 combo guard and a scoring machine Abdul Bashir.

His brother Abdi is basically the same kind of player. Long, volume shooting guard. Averaging 20ppg at Monmouth. It’s a good bet he’ll transfer in too. Played against him in noncon where he scored 15 in Auburn.

 

[AUDub]

SEC has 9 locks now. Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

True bubble teams; Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Vanderbilt.

They must not be factoring in that Auburn has beaten more ranked teams than Florida and should be ahead of them, just on that basis. No?
