Game coming up @ 4:30 pm on SEC Network. Florida is not ranked but they are a good team. Game is there.

FLORIDA INFO

With this type of numbers Florida should pretty much be locked in the Big Dance. RTR!

They are a NCAA lock only if they keep winning. If we could pull off the upset in Gainesville our resume would equal to theirs. This is not a must win for us but it is a big game. We have lost 11 straight to the Gators. It has been 20 years since we beat them in Gainesville.

 :popcorn2:

Alabama can't rebound & Florida can't hit a shot. 8-3 Bama
 


 :facepalm:

UF hurting us on boards. UF 8 off. rebounds, tide 3. Tide 20-19.




 :dog:

27-23 UF  Halftime

UF 27 rebounds  Tide 17


 :wall:

48-43 Tide  5:49 left. Tide still can't hit FT's. Obasohan & Edwards have 4 fouls. Obasohan gets 5th foul. Why was he left in game? Now Edwards fouls out. We lose 2 starters in 10 seconds. Reckless play by both players.



 :wall: :wall: :wall:

UF 21 offensive rebounds, Tide 8. Incredible we are in the game. 48-45 Tide.

Roll Tide!  6 point lead with 15 seconds to go.

61-55 final.

ROLL TIDE!!!!

That was fun.

:popcorn2:

Amazing win for Tide, 61-55 on road.

Great win!  Woot!!   #+ #+

What a great road win. We broke an 11 game losing streak to UF. We had not won in Gainesville since 1995.

CAJ has this team playing with confidence and believing they can win every game. I like where we are at. This team just put them self in position to make the NCAA Tournament.

To me, this was the biggest win of the year.  Congrats to CAJ and the team.  RTR!!!!

Great news. Things are picking up for this ole boy! Outstanding win for Bama!

Are you crazy?!!!

I thought Bama was in trouble when Obasohan and Edwards fouled out with over 5 minutes left.  Great play by Jimmy Taylor down the stretch sealed the win.   :clap:

Never thought I would ever read a sentence such as this.  :lol2:

1st win in Gainesville since 1995!  Crazy!

Battered fan syndrome is a real thing.  Similar to the effects of Stockholm Syndrome.

Wel what a way to wake up on Sunday morning. Well done guys. We are one step closer but a season to finish one game at a time. RTR!

There's a chance of making the dance if they win three at home and come out of Athens with a win.

If we finish 19-11 we are in, but 2 wins in the SEC Tourney won't hurt, either.

It was a sight to behold.  He was dunking on people and blocking everything.  He is starting to use his right hand on offense some.  The most exciting part though is that he is playing with a ton of confidence right now.

I like winning.  HTH.

 :lol: :lol:

Yeah, but getting there yesterday almost led to insanity, especially with Obasohan missing two vital free throws when we were trying to put the game away, then fouling out.

I was disappointed when he fouled out and was concerned that we would let the game slip away, like we have done so many times in the past.  As the game continued, I was elated to see that was not going to be the case this time.  I really enjoyed watching Taylor dunking on people's heads during that critical time.

We have the makings of a pretty decent team if they can keep it up.  Taylor dominated the paint yesterday, and we have Norris and others dropping bombs from behind the arc now.

The road win over a quality Florida team has improved our numbers:

RPI    34
SOS  14
Overall 15-9
SEC   6-6

We just need to keep winning. A tough trip to LSU is next on the schedule Wednesday.

I was very concerned when Obasohan fouled out with 5 minutes to play. However, we turned that negative into a positive. It should give the rest of the team confidence. We have been depending too much on Obasohan to close out games. We need the other guys to have the confidence to take the big shots and knock down clutch free throws when the game is on the line.

 :pray: I am looking for that 7-6 win to loss when we play LSU. They are a good team ranked or not. The thing I most hope for in the LSU game besides a win is that we are right there in that 1 to 2 point loss type play if it comes about. My real heart wants the win atop of everything else.  #+, RTR!

Yep. I think our RPI was 38 & SOS 24 before this game.
