What do you guys think about our game on Tuesday night?

We're a great home team that has yet to lose in Gainesville; but we're not a shabby road team either.

The Arkansas game was an anomaly, imo; one of those where every team is going to have an off night during a season, and that was it for UF. It was the day after we moved up to #2, and I think the players got a little overconfident and lackadaisical.

If we look at our other 2 losses, 1 was to Arizona at their house by 1 point, and we were winning most of the game and let it get away at the end; and the other was to KSU at their house by 6... both of those teams are in the Top 10.

Our other road games include wins over FSU by 25, Yale by 21, LSU by 22, ATM by 21, UGA by 17, MSU by 35, and AU by 31; and virtually every arena we've visited has treated it like their team's biggest game of the season... so I hope the experience of our upper classmen and the sting of the loss to Arkansas has our guys prepared for the raucous environment.

There were 10,000 at LSU, 10,500 at FSU, 11,000 at ATM, 13,800 at Arkansas, 14,500 at Zona, and 16,300 at KSU, so our guys should be accustomed to hostile crowds by now. Mizzou averages 11,400 at home, so it should be an electric atmosphere, but not one that should intimidate the players.

We average 23.5k. Hopefully Florida freaks the   out and drops one in Rupp. Our NCAA hopes depend on it.

I know, always a tough venue for any visiting team. Before the NN injury, I'd have said we stand little chance there; and we still might lose, but it won't be to the team we just watched play UT... fortunately for UK they still have 3 weeks to figure something out and find somebody to step up.

Pretty hard for me to be too confident right now. We might play you tough, but y'all are really good.

Mizzou is so unpredictable, I never know what's going to happen.

This game against Florida is a must win. We win and we are in the tournament. We lose, we are seriously on the bubble.

Wouldn't be some shit if only one SEC team made the tourney. Talk about embarrasing

[Mizzou_Fan]

Here are Bowers' stats beofe and after his knee injury from this season.

Before:
16.8 points per game
6.8 rebounds per game
58% FG

After:
7.7 points per game
3.8 rebounds per game
40.4% FG

He still isn't right. He is not helping this team and last game, he certainly hurt the team. We are going to need a big game from him tomorrow night.

I think this game depends more on what Missouri does.
I'll be surprised if we get down and then hit the panic button yet again.
If we go down early- or late- we better keep our asses composed.

If we lose, we pretty much are required to win out.

Perhaps, but our next class will end up making the Fab five look like pussys. Arguably the best ever assembled

And just like the Fab Five, no championship?

Hmmm...not to mention their season doesn't even exist anymore

The difference is Kentucky>Michigan. Championships are a recurring thing here at UK.

Don't get me wrong, I will take a few championships in a row in exchange for a little NCAA violation. No one really forgets who actually won.
