I think LSU (with Glen Davis returning) will be better, as will UK, and Tennesse who's just improving.

None of the three of them have the offensive balance as the Gators do, or the team defense at this point in the season. What is your basis on them three being better, besides the fact that the Gators "have played no one." I'm not seeing any reasoning for why these teams will be better.

Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Texas, UTEP... why the hell would a good basketball player go to Prarie View A&M over those schools?

 

Re: Florida beats Prarie View A&M 94-33

UT, LSU, and UK (especially UK) all have better basketball history, therefore until last year where do you think the top recruits are going? They're gonna go where they believe they can win. Until Florida won last year I'm sure recruits didn't think of Florida as a powerhouse. Even still, with 5 starters reurning, the top recruits (like Oden etc.) want to start. They're not going to start if 5 starters return. In other words, they have no depth.

Furthermore, UT doesn't have the depth or talent that Florida has this year, and has no basketball history. In reccent years, Florida has outdone UT every year Billy Donovan has been there, up until last year. UK does not have the depth or talent that Florida has this year. The only team with the depth the same as Florida's this year is LSU. But Florida match's up well against LSU, evidenced by the fact that Florida beat LSU twice last year. They have good low post defense that gave their low post a few problems, and our guards are better than LSU's guards. Florida is the complete package in the SEC, and the team that will win the sec tournament.

They beat the teams that LSU faced, they beat LSU by 16 one game and 9 points in the other game, what else do you want for why they are a better team? Head to head they matchup very well, and are better than. Against other opponents they are better than LSU. I really have not seen you make one good reason supported by any fact, for why LSU is better than Florida.

 

Re: Florida beats Prarie View A&M 94-33

Valo, LSU is a much better defensive team than Florida. We shut down "premier athletes" in the tourney last season like Shelden Williams and J.J. Redick and we kept other stars such as LaMarcus Aldridge in check. I'm not so sure Florida could do the same. We did lose a pretty valuable inside defender in Tyrus Thomas, but Magnum Rolle isn't a huge step down at the defensive end.Also, LSU is looking like a pretty well rounded team so far this season. Last year, Davis started off as the premier scorer on the team, but this year it looks like they will be closer to evenly distributing the scoring.And, Legend, Florida scores a pretty darn good out of conference team in Ohio State this season and in football, who cares if you don't play great teams out of conference when you are in a division like the SEC.

 

Re: Florida beats Prarie View A&M 94-33

Just my personal feeling that you shouldn't be allowed to play a D-1AA team and be in Nat'l Title game talks. And the OSU non-conference game, that's only one game. FSU plays a stretch of @ #4 Pitt, @ #13 Wisconsin, and @ #4 Florida (rankings at the time of the game.) Florida doesn't play a team that's currently ranked on the road until February 24th @ LSU...

 

Re: Florida beats Prarie View A&M 94-33

LEGENDofthePAUL has brought up some pretty baseless and illegitimate arguments. I don't care who Florida has or hasn't played yet. They return the same team that WON THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP last season. Florida is the best team in the SEC and you're just showing your bias and illogical opinions by going against that fact. I'm a Boston College fan so I can look at it objectively and see the Florida is the best team in the SEC. I don't knwo how you can say LSU is better and Kentucky and Tennessee when the NATIONAL CHAMPIONS return their ENTIRE STARTING FIVE. Haha, it makes no sense at all.

You guys shut down premier college scoreres like Redick and Williams, that is true, but you could not stop Brewer scoring 15 on six of nine shooting, Noah scoring 15 on seven for 11 shooting, and Green went off for 18 points on you guys. M'bah Moute scored 17 on five of nine shooting. You guys can shut down one player, but when you have a team with balanced scoring like the Gators you can't shut them down. 2. LSU is looking decently well rounded, but not another team in the nation has the offensive balance that the Gators have. Anyone on in our starting five can go off for 20 points on any given night. We have three point shooting with Humphreys, Green, and Brewer. We have people that can attack the basket in Brewer, Green, and Hodge. We have low post scoring in Noah and Horford. We have a deep bench with Hodge, Moss, Johnathon Mitchell, and Dan Werner. From top to bottom the Gators are a balanced offensive team.

Re: Florida beats Prarie View A&M 94-33

Polls don't matter in basketball period. You can go winless then win your conference tourney & play in the NCAA Tourney...Has my point proven itself yet? We just beat Florida today...
