Fla probabely has the best starting 5 in the nation in Green, Humphrey, Brewer, Noah, and Horford....Any of these 5 can score against anyone, so does Tenn slow them down? Green, Humphrey, and Noah had terrible games against LSU, lets hope that keeps up!

Also, do you think CBP will suprise us and break out the orange jacket against FLA?

The only way Tennessee can neutralize Noah and Horford is to make it a 94 foot game. The Vols simply can't guard them in a halfcourt setting. Tennessee has to force at least 20 turnovers to win.

I am going to watch this game very relaxed, usally I am standing up screaming at the TV, but we are already going to the tourney and lets be honest I dont see us winning this. Maybe we will get lucky but lets jujst hope no one gets hurt.

I concur... Press and hope we generate the turnovers. The good news is we've forced our opponents into 20+ turnovers in the past two games.

Tennessee's guards and forwards needs to go right at Noah and Horford. Early foul trouble for those guys would be a big help.

The bad news is that neither of those teams had Taurean Green.

LSU forced Florida into 15 turnovers yesterday ... here's the stat line per player:

TURNOVERS: 15 (T Green 1, C Brewer 4, M Speights 3, L Humphrey 1, A Horford 2, J Noah 1, C Richard 2, W Hodge 1)

I think we can at least generate 15 as well.

I don't think we can force as many TO's as we have all season....their guards are verterans and have too much experience....I agree with whoever said that we have to make this a full court game....either score very early or very late in the shot clock...and duke crews has to get out of his slump

Let's face it, UF isn't going to turn it over much. Tennessee needs to shoot the lights out while UF needs struggle shooting. I think that's the only way the Vols win.

Florida is definitely a great team. But both Vandy and LSU beat Florida on their home courts within the last week or so, and we have beaten both of those teams. So I don't see why we can't beat Florida at TBA. I don't necessarily expect to win, but I wouldn't be too surprised if we did.

Dane just needs to keep on keepin on. If he can keep up his outstanding defense and excellent rebounding, we just have to leave it to the home court advantage!

I agree but you know how it goes, this will probably be the game where all the UF players shoot 100% from the field.

The good news is that UF is definately vulnerable on the road. If you look at their results away from home, they are not impressive at all.

The bad news is that boredom shouldn't be a factor this game with the fact that we swept them last year, and now theyre looking to do the same. But, more importantly for them, this is probably a game that could help them gain the #1 seed that they are slowly letting slip away.

Speights is seeing time to prep him for the tournament. I would not expect to see him a lot on Tuesday. Reading reports on the game Saturday, it appears that hat was right back in November when he said Florida's biggest enemy is complacency.

I thought three weeks ago that we'd blow you out again as we did in Gainesville, but now I admit I am not as confident. Gators are in a funk. No excuses. Just not playing well.

Hey, attitude counts.

Yes, that will be a motivator.

I think if Florida had not lost two the last three, it would have made this game even bigger. Florida limping in at the moment. Got to hope they somehow get their heads back in this thing.

well it's a bit embarrasing....we have to act like we've been there b4 and that we expect to win these kinds of games.
