I hope that I am wrong but wih FLA. / 4 senior starters, they have been on the road I big games before and pulled out a win. The Harrison's have not shown that they can guard anyone. Also, both Harrison's have trouble with pressure defense. Florida can match up on Randle inside.

A 2 or 3 possession game.

 

Florida 81

U.K. 75

I saw on Twitter that UK opened as a 3 point favorite.

The Cats by 11+. I feel like this young UK team is going to play their best game of the season.

Officials for this one are Doug Sirmons, Antinio Petty and Michael Stephens.

Very nice crew.

This is going to be a great game. The game will be won by no more than 5 points. UK 75 UF 72

I totally agree. And Florida has the propensity to turn it over. Instead Cal funnels everything to the goal. That's ok if you're Syracuse sitting back in that zone with a rim protector who doesn't get strung out to the high post. Seriously, what are the odds Cal changes his defensive philosophy with this bunch?

 

He already has, hasn't he? It seems to me like he is using the zone more with this team than any other team I can recall.

Florida 77-66 :popcorn:

Florida wins 74-70

Officials for this one are Doug Sirmons, Antinio Petty and Michael Stephens.

Very nice crew.

 

That is great to hear.

Florida brings a 16-game winning streak into Rupp Arena on Saturday, but UK has a winning streak of its own it’s trying to keep intact: The Cats have won six straight over Florida at home

The Gators’ veteran cast is well aware of the streak.

“I think we let one slip out of our hands last year,” Florida senior Patric Young said. “I definitely think we had an opportunity to win that one, but it would be really special to get one and not go my whole career without winning there.’

This worked last year. Hope it works this year. Cal's challenge:

At the 8-minute timeout in the second half, I’m calling on everyone to stand up and cheer until the final buzzer.

Vegas has the Cats as a 3 point favorite over the Gators.

I picked with my heart instead of my head. Go Cats!

That may be a good sign, Vegas picks are usually :somebody knows something". Those boys don't like losing. :lol2:
