tip off coming up (Raycom sports for those who want to watch it) - can also be viewed online via Yahoo.

we look real good early. 11-3 UF w/ the ball after the commercial break (Tyus was fould - on the floor - by one of the commodes)

the rims do appear very unforgiving today (for both teams). it seems as if you hit any rim at all the shot has no chance.

19-6 UF Speights just hit one from 1 step inside the 3pt line (his heels were on it).

WOW....36-9 We went on a 23-0 run to go from 11-6 to 34-6. Vandy hit a pull up 3 and we went right down the floor in about 2 seconds and got a Speights dunk. Vandy is on the ropes folks...time for the knock out punch. 7:04 still to go in the first half.

Vandy making a small run...42-27 now. 1:34 to go in the half. hodge on the line.

Alex Gordon for Vandy (one of their better scorers today) has 3 fouls.

Hodge buries both shots...44-27...44-29 quick 2 for Vandy

as hot as we were early we can't buy a 3 now.

46-31 at half. Couldn't have come soon enough. Re-light the fire Billy and do it again in the 2nd half.

63-40 UF with about 11 minutes left in the game. Vandy will be at the line to shoot two when we come back.

73-58 UF w/ 7:48 to play...

we need a couple of baskets to ice this game away.

correction...70-53

80-61 UF with 3:40 to go...Calathes will be at the line to shoot two.

UF Wins 86-64...a complete domination.

Nothing to bitch about in this game.

Billy will find something nonetheless, a great win. We should be ranked when the polls come out.

The first thing a good team does: win at home. We've played very well at home aside from the FSU fiasco.

Agree, we should be ranked this week.

Great win!

I have to admit, I had little faith we could beat Vandy. I'm pleasantly surprised by this game.

I heard Billy on the radio after the game. What he's looking for is how the young players deal with success, especially given that they're going to have a week off and they'll be hearing how great they are from everybody. He wants to see if they can keep their heads level going into a game with a big, physical Arkansas team. We're seeing these kids grow up.

yep he's gotta keep them feeling like the underdog in every game.

I'm predicting our 3rd NCAA title in a row based upon this game.

number 20 this week.
