This, plus the fact that Florida probably prepared as if Ziegler and Milicic were playing. Florida was neither prepared for this lineup, nor the change in offensive philosophy by Barnes.

Yes. What many of our faithful posters don't get is that it's a marathon of a season. Every good team is going to have some bad losses. At the same time, a win like this one can be a tremendous confidence booster

Has anyone said “maybe we should have ZZ come off the bench and start this lineup from now on”

If not, I’d be surprised lol

Havent seen that, but think this game showed targeting 30 minutes per game for zz May be beneficial in getting the best version of zz and a different look offensively.

Edit: that’s twice now (Illinois game) where we’ve seen gainey play really well handling pg duties. I never thought it would workout, but he’s definitely shown he brings something different offensively as a score first pg that may help when we’re struggling to score.

Thank you. She is getting better each day but the first couple of days were really rough pain wise. She usually refuses pain pills at all costs but could barely wait the full 6 hrs between her pain pills. She had a craniotomy in Feb 2023 and said the pain from this was worse….

Today has been much better.

Kind of surprised, but you hit it on the heard. ZZ playing 30 every game just can’t happen anymore.

I guess Barnes had a comfortability with ZZ to the point where someone behind him has to play exactly like him, but like you said Gainey has shown the ability to care of those duties. Hopefully Barnes notices that and starts to let others give ZZ a breather. Will need it for the tourney.

Wish I could have seen it but had too much going on today. Will enjoy the replay. Sounded like they gave the Gators a lesson on defense and effort. Really impressive down two starters and with only 7 scholarship players available. GBO!

Great idea! We need to punish disloyalty aggressively!

True VFL’s unite and give it to NEGA’s and trolls alike. Pretty much provide the same value add to the program. Let’s not rule out excommunication!!!!!!!!!!! Guess the death penalty is out! Let’s vote. Oh Well! GO VOLS.

Easy to call someone out after the game.

Much easier to react at a moment during the game. A thorough understanding of the game is the ease to let it play out before commenting. We're 18-4, with a bunch of quality gamers and a great F'ing coach

We are a better team without ZZ and today proved it. Barnes loyalty to some players are detrimental to this team. We have a much higher ceiling without ZZ.













Honestly expected to see a few posts like this. I wouldn't trade Zeigler for any player in the country.

His absence late in the first half against UK and the entire game today triggered some guys to step up. Doing so is a huge confidence builder. Hell yes, we need ZZ down the stretch, but his absence and our success without him might just be a huge positive catalyst for this team moving forward

We just need Zeigler to stop shooting so many 3s when he's such a bad shooter. Just be the stud defensive player he is and facilitate
