the SEC becomes relevant at tourney time.

Anytime two top 10 schools play it should be interesting.

After today they have played @Ohio St, @KY, @ Syracuse. That's the top 3 teams in the country. I think that's pretty tough.

lol you'd be surprised.

and they lost to Rutgers and Tennessee, both well outside the RPI top 100. they have only played 5 games against RPI top 50 teams, and are 3-2 (3-3 after tonight)

they have a good resume, but CERTAINLY not in the top 10, but definitely top 15-20.

they are #14 RPI, #12 Sagarin, #14 kenpom

I would rank Florida around 12-15th. I think they are a Sweet 16 team, but have a lower ceiling. like I can't see them making the Final Four...they really don't defend all that well, and they are prone to upsets because they live and die from 3 at times.

they are 2nd in the nation adjusted offensive efficiency on kenpom, but 100th on D. you have to go all the way down to #25 Creighton to find another team above 100:

they are just overrated at #7 is all... I think they have a good squad

There have been multiple analysts that say Nerlin Noels is a better shot blocker than Davis. I just don't see how that is possible.

Also MKG is the best big game player in the nation.

I've watched Noel and he is very solid, but Davis is just unreal at this point. If KY lands Noel/Shabazz then wow.

The rest of us are too excited for UNC/Duke tomorrow..even though that lazy Duke team is gonna get wiped across the floor by the Heels.

How many years did you play?

Wat? Do I need more posts to ask how long you played ball? lol

Just got back from the game, one of the few Florida fans in attendance. Kinda surprised there were a few empty seats @ Rupp considering it was a match up of the 2 best teams in the conference, and fairly close to the court for that matter. Sat about 10 rows from the top, and even then, the view isn't bad at all. A great arena to watch basketball, and I'm glad I made Rupp Arena the site of my 1st college basketball game attended in person. If you've never been, you must go at least once.

Obviously after tonight, Kentucky is far superior to anyone in the SEC, maybe even the country. Couldn't miss from 3 in the 2nd half and had 2 many easy buckets via alley-oops, especially Davis. Dude is a beast and I got to see it with my own 2 eyes tonight in person. Unstoppable on both ends of the floor, and possibly the #1 pick in the 2013 NBA draft if he leaves early which he should. Gilchrist was a monster himself and also has a bright NBA future, top 5 pick for sure if he has a big NCAA tournament and comes out early. Has the game to make his own shot, rebound, and break ankles on the dribble like he did often tonight.

Hopefully, a closer contest will be in order come the rematch in Gainesville.
