Hopefully Yeguete & Prather can fill the void from Murph being hurt. My fear was one of our big men getting injured. We also the the guards to make their shots and we will be ok until Murph returns.

I get what Coach is saying, “…a true league champion” but I say, ”get what you can, while you can, when you can, when it comes to BANNERS!” This team is in a position to win the S.E.C….so, regardless of the ‘format’… when Florida can BEAT U.K. for an ‘S.E.C. CHAMPIONSHIP BANNER’…JUST DO IT, GATORS! It won’t take long for John C. at U.K. to RELOAD, so let’s do this GATORS! CHOMP-CHOMP!!!

“Hope for the best but I’m very disappointed since excessive scrimmages are probably responsible. You don’t need long physical practices two months into the season”

It wasn’t the scrimmages that got him hurt, but the game against Air Force. The ribs might have been already broken before the practice, plus with the way the team hasn’t been playing like a “team” as they were in their blowouts of Marquette, Wisconsin, and FSU, they needed the practice.

They changed how SEC basketball scheduling works. No divisions in scheduling or in the standings now. One permanent rival (Kentucky) and you play 4 others twice. Everyone else once. Over a three year period you play everyone 4 times except your permanent rival, which you play 6 times. Some teams get better draws than other in this way, but it’s much better than the older system. Divisions aren’t useful in basketball.

Yes, it is a joke that they will have an SEC regular season champion. The balance of power is clearly in the East, and I believe you play all but one team from your division TWICE, and those from the other division ONCE. So the East teams are at a SERIOUS disadvantage if the division is indeed superior. A West team that is not that great may well win the conference.

I agree with BD that this year’s format is for the birds. UF plays four games against the top SEC teams (Mizzou and UK) while others don’t. I thought that UF would be the favorite but the loss of Murphy, in my opinion, throws a monkee wrench into the plans. He is arguably the best player on the squad with his ability to play inside and outside. A big who can knock down treys @40% plus is a pearl without price. Hope for the best but I’m very disappointed since excessive scrimmages are probably responsible. You don’t need long physical practices two months into the season.

I thought so before the season,unless the chemistry improves this will be a rough year.
