Patric Young, the Gators only legitimate points in the paint player has a much worse ankle injury than what the injury report will tell you. He was struggling to get his 260 lb. frame up and down the court vs. Vanderbilt on Saturday and was getting quickly gassed and subsequently benched. In fact the whole team looked tired in Saturday's game and they were very fortunate to escape with the win. I'd certainly lean towards them getting blown out of the arena here tonite.

Giving way too much credit to our offense. I realize we won't be content with just taking outside shots, but you also have to realize its a lot harder to drive on a zone as opposed to man. That being said, have you seen our lack of off ball movement? To attack a zone you have to rotate the ball and flash in the zone, then look off for the occaisional back door, key being movement without the ball. I personally haven't seen enough out of our offense to think we successfully do this. Granted, I do believe we move a lot more than when Gottried was there, but we still aren't attacking the basket. All our screens are ball screens outside the 3 point line and not one of our guys will curl off a screen to the basket. Zone is our worst nightmare, we beat people off the dribble and with our size and athleticism. If this game is a half-court game, which looks that way from the total, we will lose by 10. I could be wrong and we might get lucky and knock down some threes, but I haven't seen enough for me to wager on yet.

You are entitled to your opinion obviously, but I've got to make a comment on the coaching part. Calipari is WAY better then he gets credit for because he is a such a great recruiter. Aside from the 2 National Championships for Donovan I think a lot of his teams have underachieved. Just my opnion though.

I'm sorry to hijack this, but I think I can answer that for him. Calipari has not lost at home since he has been at UK and this might be his best team yet. Florida is not a great road team.

You guys might be missing the part that he also takes Florida on the ML. That might be why the person is questioning the pick. Not the cover part. Just sayin.

No, that would be Arkansas.
