How do you think we can beat Florida tomorrow? I say we copy what Georgia did and force them to try and beat us inside and not let him have their normal shoot around of a game. What else did Georgia do to shut them down? Curious on what you think? Hoping we can find a way!

i think our only hope is little bob showing up and energizing the team and fans to carry us to victory

Don't leave Clayton and make their bigs beat you offensively. If they do tip your cap. Muck it up

inwould make some subtle adjustments to our defensive scheme for this game to make them push the ball inside. i would attack the rim constantly and push the ball up the court on any opportunity that was available and take it to the hole. get them off balance and in foul trouble.

would also help if we could shoot better than 20% from 3.

what's weird is i have a feeling we are going to play well in this game. no one expects us to have a chance. that's typically when we play our best ball.

I kind of like how Gameday will be talking up the Gators all morning tomorrow, while we stay locked in and focused. I have a weird feeling we have another Mizzou type of game.

I think first we need to hope that Florida's chemistry is a little off because they've been trying to integrate some pieces into their rotation. Handlogten just returned from injury two weeks ago, and the first three games he played in Condon didn't play. So their first game together was the Georgia loss.

I'm sure they're willing to eat a loss or two to figure out their rotations on how those two are going to work together, let's hope they didn't figure it out in practice this week.

That aside, this game is all about the offensive boards. We're the best at it, but they're right behind us, rebounding 38% of their misses.

But the bigger thing is just basic basketball. We have to stay in front of the ball on defense or they're going to absolutely bomb us like the last several teams have. Some optimism there is that their best distributors are bigger guards which could help Taylor and Phelps a bit. And their size might actually help our defense some also, Payne Coleman and Garcia won't be chasing down 6-7 forwards, Florida's guys are huge.

On offense, man I don't know unless they foul us 40 times. Someone has to heat up. Florida is too big and too good for us to just post the ball even if we were good at it, which we're not. We're going to have to shoot a lot of threes, and we're either going to have to make a lot of them or rebound a huge percentage of the ones we miss.

Is it possible on short notice to have Golden's accuser(s) sit on our bench?

FWIW I'd argue Georgia didn't do as much to slow down Florida as they did play above their own heads offensively. They shot better than 50% from 2 and from 3, something we haven't done all season, and shot better than 80% at the free throw line.

We've shot better than 50% from 3 exactly one time and that was the loss at Texas where we shot an impressively bad 36% from 2 and 38% at the FT line (though only on 8 shots).
