Florida had the bones of a good team, it was a matter of time for them to put it together

We need to return the favor by kicking their AZZ when we see them at TBA on the 10th. Still pissed about that loss.

We had no business losing to them by more than 25. Florida played well, but we also played like we didn't give a damn. That looked like the worst performance by a Rick Barnes coached team since he has been here.

Hoping for a 3 seed or higher as it typically makes for an easier path to the elite eight. Obviously things will have to go really good the rest of the year for that to happen

Short lived. But, it's not surprising. This team isn't a top 25 team right now. We would have lost by 20 tonight to any team with a pulse on offense.

Curious to see your 25 teams that are deserving of that ranking over Tennessee?

You are definitely the RonSwanson of the basketball forum.

Listen. I'll brag on this team and give this team absolute credit when it's due.

But I am not dishing compliments or defending them when they're bad. Other than the Kansas game (where we shot the ball out our minds) this team has been completely underwhelming on offense the past several games. We got blown off the floor by UF and we lost to one of the worst offensive teams I've ever watched in the SEC last night.

So yeah, we're not really playing Top 25 basketball right now. I don't care how young we are..."it's covid season" or whatever other excuse you want to make for them... you don't lose a garbage game like that last night. I get so mad when the announcers start throwing out this is a final four team. What a joke....And another thing...This team is no where even close to the team we were 2 years ago...

I hope they get it turned around, but they've got a long way to go right now.

When is "right now"? We sure looked like a top 25 team three days ago. You seem like a prisoner of the moment. Just looking at your post history, I don't see any "bragging or you giving absolute credit due" for beating Kansas, but I count 9 posts immediately following the OM loss. So, maybe your perception of your outward reaction to wins and losses is misguided.

And look, I'm not excusing this loss. It is indefensible. Barnes, as a coach, looked like amateur hour in figuring out how to attack the trap/double team. He never made an adequate adjustment on the fly and they better get that figured out. The team played their worst half of basketball, offensively, all season.

But again, name 25 teams that are better. Name 20 teams. Anyone saying this team isn't a top 25 team is being emotional and reactionary, and none of them, yourself included, were championing that opinion three days ago.

I didn’t ask you to compliment them, I asked who your Top 25 are, which you failed to answer. Hate to break it to you but every team outside the Top 5 has deficiencies, and the lower you get in the rankings the more deficiencies you see. Missouri is ranked yet we beat their a$$, Florida is ranked yet UK beat their a$$, there are examples of this all up and down the Top 25, it’s not as if there’s 25 teams all with 2 or less losses and those losses to Top 10 teams.
