Myron Medcalf: "Florida 74 Tennessee 66"

[iKrager]

Tennessee at No. 6 Florida, 4 p.m. ET, ESPN: In a weird way, Florida is flying under the radar. The Gators are the best team in the SEC. And they haven’t lost since Dec. 2. But there’s a bigger spotlight on some of the other top-10 teams right now. The Gators are clearly dangerous, especially with Wooden Award candidate Casey Prather healthy. Billy Donovan’s program hasn’t been complete for most of the season. And premier recruit Chris Walker is still unavailable because of eligibility issues. But they have the pieces to compete for a national title. The Gators have forced turnovers on 21.9 percent of their opponents’ possessions, 24th in the nation per Ken Pomeroy. They’ll face a desperate Tennessee team that held its own against Kentucky for a half last weekend but couldn’t finish. The Vols need quality wins. But the SEC won’t provide many opportunities to acquire them. They’ll still be searching after Saturday.

Prediction: Florida 74, Tennessee 66

Pretty spot on. Hopefully Metcalf is wrong and we beat Florida.

Sounds about right.

We could win if we bring our A game.

We could win if we bring our A game.

We would have only 2 loses if we brought our A game to every game.

We bring our A game most of the time we just have long spurts of our C-D game and can't recover. I hope we start out like we did against UK and can hit 3's when we need them.

And if the other coaching staffs didn't have our playbook already.....

Damn you Digger Phelps lol:

I agree with this

I like to think getting FL on one days rest should be somewhat of an advantage. We are going to have to take better care of the ball in our half court O. And we need to avoid the dredded 3 to 5 minute span without a bucket.

In the end I think the baskets are bigger in Gainsville and the Vols walk away with another upset with against little Eddie Munster and co.

I know that I'm not supposed to do this, but for those of you that remember Toby Harris who plays for the Orlando Magic now he just threw a 28 point and 20 rebound game at the Lakers. Playing real good and getting lots of time. Flvol07

He is just quoting the Vegas line think we are 8 point underdogs. Were in the game if we score over seventy. We could easily do that if the guards are hitting the outside shots.
