I don't expect UF to win in Rupp…I just don't. UK to me is a very talented team that plays to the level of the competition due to being young. I see them being way up for this game and winning a close game by less than 5….I hope I'm wrong, but that's just how I feel going in.

I don't think they will either. If this game was later in the year when Chris Walker has gotten more acclimated to everything I would say Florida would have a better chance, because Randle has struggled with NBA length and athleticism, and Walker is one of the most athletic guys in the country.
I expect a lot more Dakari Johnson to counter Patric Young, and I wouldn't be surprised if they played zone a lot more either.

Florida has really struggled offensively when they aren't hitting from the outside. Teams go to a zone and the offense bogs down…Frazier obviously is a dangerous, but the rest of the team are streaky. If UK can force Florida to live on the outside and the Gators aren't hitting, UK could run them out to be honest. Looking forward to the game regardless...

I really think it could go either way honestly, although this is definitely a different team at home, there is a different swagger and it's noticeable.

I'm glad they are not playing in Gainesville first, they aren't ready for that. Yes they won at a very hostile Mizzou, but I don't think they are ready for a road game with Florida yet, that place gets nuts.

Don't know who these guys are playing for CU right now...Josh Scott is so good.

You played so good in the 1st half and just couldn't get stops in the 2nd. I didn't realize Booker or Xavier Johnson were that good. Kyle Anderson for UCLA is so good.

Arizona @ Arizona State is tonight, unusual for the PAC to schedule a Friday night game, but I'll take it. Couple postponed games pushed to tonight, so we have a couple Top 25 American teams playing, though doesn't look like a whole lot of potential for an upset in either. I guess if SMU can lose @ South Florida, perhaps they can lose @ Rutgers too.

This Detroit/Oakland game has been surprisingly exciting.

It's really nice to have some college basketball on a Friday night. I wish every Friday had a nice matchup like Arizona and ASU. I think ASU will knock off Zona tonight.

Nice win for SMU tonight. That makes 20 on the season.

Re: 2/10-2/16 Game Thread Discussion

Anyone think Bader will get a shot at the next level? Maybe a late 2nd or UdFA? It's not easy to make it as just a three point specialist, especially one that hasn't exactly faced elite competition. I could see him getting a little D League run just to see if he can compete

Arizona State's program is coming along. You can tell because Wells Fargo is only 1/3 Arizona fans. In the Lute era, it was over half.

An Arizona State student throwing something on the court in the direction of an Arizona player? I am SHOCKED.

Well, not that shocked.

Oh my, what a finish!

Re: 2/10-2/16 Game Thread Discussion

Shouldn't that be a technical foul for hanging on the rim?
