I think the late start time was a factor in the attendance. Plus, it;s close to the end of the semester and finals are coming up. But I’d be there if I could!
I’m very pleased with the team’s performance to date, but they need to be road tested. Next 2 games will tell that. GO GATORS!

Hopefully, the fans will get behind these guys! I plan to do my part – I’ll be at as many games possible. GO GATORS!!!

Tremendous coach. Great team. Horrible fan support.

Hard to believe that Billy D in his 17th season has been at UF almost as long as Spurrier and Meyer combined (12+6 years). With 427 wins, at age 47 it would not be hard at all to imagine Donovan with 400-500 wins in 15-20 more years which would place him in the very top of all time wins. The guy from Duke is at 900+. We are lucky to have a great coach and leader.

Billy D… the most underrated coach in the history of college B-ball. It’s amazing to think that he has brought us more national titles in basketball than Spurrier did in football. Simply amazing. Give that man a raise!!!

The boys look tough this year. Was concerned about losing Beal, but it looks like they are even better without him this year. We will find out against better competition if our defense is taking a page from the football team by stompin and chompin on that side of the ball. No matter the sport – DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! Go Gators!

Team is going to need some tough wins (and some tough losses) to strengthen their resolve and mental toughness. WIns in November are nice, but the best wins come in March (and April!).
.
But, not against FSU. Need to beat them by as many points as possible.

Agree with all of the above posts. Glad to see that Donovan wasn’t hesitant to push Young’s button a bit last night, and to his credit, he responded with an awesome effort. Only real weakness with this team will be their lack of front court depth, so Young, Murphy and Ygette will have to avoid foul trouble as best they can. Prather has been great off the bench, and Frazier looks like a great scorer off the bench when needed. Go Gators.

I agree the Gators are off to a great start but why no love from the fans? The ODOme was not even 2/3 full for a big game! 2nd time this has happened – see Wisc.

I agree with Dennis it’s ‘great to be a FLORIDA GATOR!’…and Billy ‘D’ loves FLORIDA BASKETBALL like no other in my lifetime, and it’s showing. This team is hitting it’s stride perfectly… The ‘D’ is awesome, and the ‘coming out party’ for Frazier last night was incredible as well. I thought this team could easily win the S.E.C., prior to the start of the season, and thus far they’ve proven me right. The ‘D’ of Young needs to be a ‘staple’ of this team every game, and then when Murph plays well, & Will snatching rebounds, and the back-court hitting shots…look out! GO GATORS! CHOMP-CHOMP! GREAT GAME GATORS! STAY HUNGRY and the rest falls into place, and Florida WINS THE S.E.C., and tournament time will be a blast!
