The Matchup: Florida vs Houston For A National Title

Lol what a terrible take. We barely squeaked by Purdue right before dismantling Tennessee.

This is the move. Try to limit him but try to shutdown everyone else. He’s Grimes but quicker.

Outstanding write up, as always! why can’t we get information that good from ESPN, The Atheletic, CBS. becuase they all suck! pesik is the greatest!

Thank You so much!

We need to shoot the ball with confidence and be ruthless!
LJ played every minute in the semi-final game so I am worried about his legs. We need contributions from everyone. Need a guard from the bench to make jump shots. Uzan needs score and would help if Sharp can score in the first half for a change. expect them to drop 3 point bombs and we have to anwser or we could be way behind. I would do what we TxTech did but did’nt finish, go inside and dominate the paint but make your free throws. We can do this!

It’s game 7. They have to just leave it all out on the floor.

These are the two best teams in the country. At this point there is no underestimating the opponent. Both teams are experienced, tough, gritty, have faced adversity and made incredible comebacks. Neither team is going to fold or give in. It will certainly be a battle of will and who executes their game plan better. Man this is going to be a 12 round heavy weight fight!!!

That tracks

Would you rather have faced Auburn or Florida?

I doubt that. I bet a ton of people on the Duke board don’t even know where North Carolina is on a map.

We had Florida fans sitting in our seats when we got to the game. They were off put by us asking them to move. They ended up 3 seats down until the end of their game. These clowns were beyond trashy. The auburn fans near us were great. Not looking forward to interacting with Florida fans Monday. I’d be surprised if there aren’t multiple fights.

I think that they are Florida’s version of UT fans.

probably auburn since they only beat us by 5 when uzan was trying to learn our system and playing us in toyota is nothing compared to fertita, at&t or the alamodome but when the reward for winning is the natty i can’t complain too much lol

Florida

Broome was a load — familiar with us, and already beat us. They also score in so many ways, with elite scorers coming off the bench like Pettiford.

Going into an Auburn/Houston game, I would’ve expected Broome to win the matchup at the 4. They know us. Honestly, I’d expect a game that comes all the way down to the wire if we played Auburn. I’d take solace in the fact that Sampson hasn’t let a team sweep us in a season since 2018, if we played multiple times. but i knew we be in a fight

Florida’s scoring is more predictable, especially against a defense like ours (when you take away the easy stuiff) — it’s probably coming from Clayton. I’d expect J’Wan to win the battle at the 4. Florida’s perimeter defenders are great, but I’d rather face 6’3" defenders than 6’6". Plus, there’s the added bonus that they’ve got a young coach and players who’ve never faced us before — and likely spent zero minutes preparing for us, since no one expected us to beat Duke. with 1 day to figure it out

I’m guessing the Auburn team is better than they were when we played them. They didn’t sit in limbo all season while we progressed

Todd Golden had never won an NCAA tournament game before the year started. Hes rattled of 5 in a row. That has to be some sort of record, has there ever been a coach to go from having 0 NCAA’s tournaments wins to winning the NC?

I think CKS digs deep into his toolbox and figures out a way to get us this one tomorrow night

Actually Tennesee beat them by 20 points in february but lost to them by 10 points most recently in their conf tourney final…regardless they are very good

What’s the temp like in the stadium?

Polo and slacks okay? I’d imagine I’m going to be wearing my hoodie and then take it off inside.

But Florida isn’t at home against Houston.

Florida should have lost to Texas Tech. Tech made a lot of mistakes down the stretch to give the game to Florida.
