I want to go to the game but the 12:10 game time and 6 hour drive from Atlanta makes it hard to do for me. Also $341 for a decent ticket.

So let me get this straight , you have the two- time defending national champs in the northeast tv market against pretty much the overall number 1 team everyone is picking to win the whole thing and the last two time defending national champs, and you put the matchup on the noon game on Sunday ? that should easily be 5-6 or 7 o’clock primetime game - plus both teams played the night wave tonight. U would think you would give them the courtesy of playing the night wave or at least a later afternoon game on Sunday Once again uconn get screwed. Meanwhile, teams like Mississippi State , Iowa State and New Mexico get the more reasonable evening time slots- unbelievable. Can’t make it up I can’t believe that game is at noon. Dumb dumb dumb
 
Btw- line is Florida -9.5, I think it opened at -8.5. Not a lot of belief in UConn. When was the last time we were dogs like this in the tourney??
 
UF isn't unbeatable but they are an offensive juggernaut that is hard to slow down. Clayton will launch from anywhere and the rest of the team handles/passes and shoots well. Their interior is deep and long and so their guards extend and invite rim attacks. And they want the pace to be exceedingly high.

That all said, they are also an extremely odd team in terms of who they played, or didn't. Their OOC is pathetic. They killed the SEC though but somehow lost to Missouri, UK, Tennessee and freaking Georgia.

UK shot the leather off the ball and UF didn't. Missouri got a lot of steals. Tennessee smothered them defensively and Georgia played the game of their lives. Even then Missouri and Georgia won by a single possession.

They are just a very solid team. Last year's UConn probably wins by a healthy margin but this year, it will take a very strong defensive effort, lots of good shooting and a ton of luck to win even a close one.

Just watched the Auburn game and was there something wrong with Broome during that game. He looked slow from the jump (and lazy). I know he had a good line but...

UConn last year would smoke this UF team. It doesn't mean this UF team isn't really good, they are. They're the favorites to win the whole thing, they're great. Our best shot might not be good enough but I would like to see our best shot with everything clicking.

UConn last year was unreal, I don't think everyone has fully wrapped their heads around how great that team was. We may never see a team like that again. I've yet to see a team that was as as good as them and I'm not young.
 
I strongly dislike the Sunday noon start after a Thursday night game but it is what it is.

In a best of 7, sorry Huskies, I'd pick the Gators every time but in a one game elimination I like our chances to pull off a big upset. Our boys are capable but they have to be focused and ready to play the best they ever have.
