Damn would have been nice to have that triple fall there to give us the biggest lead of the game. Still a solid 16 point ass whipping. Impressive effort from our guys coming off the emotional beat down we put on bama.

Not the Clam’s greatest performance tonight. Love Danjel though. I wrote him off a month ago. He’s productive now
Said this earlier but feeling like a pretty deep team right now.
Throwing out a true ten man rotation. Gonna be big down the stretch. Hopefully will keep the troops healthy deep into March.
we handled our business at home... 1 comfortable win, 2 outright beatdowns
Saturday is the 3rd biggest game we have left... a loss won’t really hurt as far as tourney purposes, but a win would be huge for future seeding as well as building momentum towards March
regardless, we did what we had to do at home to get some breathing room and positive vibes, so we can just worry about Saturday on Saturday... until then, I’m gonna bask in the warm glow of a week of Boogin’

This is our best win of the year from a KenPom rankings standpoint. (Washington is #34) Would have been very easy for our guys to have a let down tonight after the emotional win over bama Saturday. With Harper and Chuma both being dinged up early, we could have easily scuffled tonight. First half we looked like the drastically better team everywhere, but UF managed to hang around. Second half was a dominant performance to get the double digit lead and hold it the rest of the way. UF is the best defensive team in the SEC and ranked 9th in the country so they are not an easy team to blow out.
Very balanced attack on offense. Samir had an incredible first half with 10 points and filling up the stat line. Would have loved for him to knock down that last 3. Finished with 12 points, 3 steals, 5 boards and 2 assists.
Bryce with a workman-like 14 point performance to lead us in scoring. Only hit 2 3s, but had some nice drives to get add some 2 point buckets.
Chuma showed even more flashes of his full potential tonight. Attached the basket several times which is what we need him to do on a much more regular basis. His assist in the first half where he kicked to Samir was one of the most NBA level plays I have seen from any of our guys over the last few years. Just an incredible display of athleticism. The coast to coast break late was also fantastic. 11 points, 8 boards, 3 assists is a nice line.
Bench had a great night as well. Getting Austin back was huge. He looked much better than I expected in limited minutes. Should give Bruce the confidence to play him 15-20 minutes this weekend which we will likely need at LSU. Spencer with 7 boards and played with his normal fire. Danjel added 5 points with a beautiful oop assist.
3 wins in a row to answer our 3 game slide has saved a season that was on the brink 2 weeks ago. This Saturday at LSU is going to be a huge test. Beating them there would be our biggest win of the year. They have looked really shaky the last couple of weeks, needing a miracle to beat the shitty Mizzou team we destroyed and then losing at home to Arky. Will be interesting to see how they play tomorrow at Starkville. Win or lose this Saturday, we will have 3 more games after that which we "should" win on paper before we head to Rupp. We're #14 in KenPom now after the win tonight. A 6-1 or 7-0 streak here would put us into the top 10 of KenPom, into the top 3 of the SEC and set us up very well for a run at a high seed down the stretch.

Great thread. Watching this on tape delay & reminding myself that I stepped back at the half of the Mizzou game, makes me wonder how much I really bring to this place sometimes.
MEH. The HYGS overcame this on Saturday at the Bam game.
why has it taken me until now to realize the Philly Connection pun that’s just been sitting there all year?
I knew they were both from Philly... I knew they had their own special handshake about 6 minutes into game 1... but never considered Philly Connection
Last night I was listening to the postgame and Bruce said the plan was to play Austin 5 minutes and see how he reacted today and the days to come. That sounded like a weird amount of time. I assume he has a minor stress fracture or have I missed official word on what is wrong?
He said something about him getting bumped and just wanted to be cautious with it. Sounded like he could have come back in an emergency, but Bruce trying to be cautious.
