Missouri Review:
















Next Opponent: Arkansas

"I don't think any struggling team coming off a game like that he wants to go on on a two game road trip in SEC play, but that's what the schedule says,"Mussselman said. "That's what we're gonna go do. Mike White's done a great job. I think they're 10-0 at home. I think they're 20-5 since he got to Georgia, at home. It's a confident team."


"I don't think this team needs to go to Athens and have a meal before the night before the game and all of a sudden that's going to miraculously make us better because we have a good meal and people put their phones down and converse," Musselman said. "I'm not a I'm not a believer that that's going to that's going to make us all of a sudden play better basketball because we ate together and we're in a hotel and we're bonding. I think you know, I'm not going to subscribe to that pattern."

HS FN: Grayson boys basketball proving to be Georgia's best with another impressive win

“The host team Grayson got a very good win over a very talented North Broward Prep (FL) squad who made the trip up from south Florida. Purdue commit Gicarri Harris was fantastic in the win, showing his shooting range early and finding success getting to the rim and drawing contact in the second half. Georgia commit Jacob Wilkins also showed his skill set, scoring in a number of ways and from every level and then showing his patented finishes above the rim in the second half…”

SEC Basketball

Florida
Gainesville Sun: Florida basketball is good, but can it become good enough to beat the SEC's best?

“Such is the modus operandi of UF hoops right now. The Gators can hang with just about any team. They just aren’t making the pivotal plays needed to beat quality teams.

UF is 2-17 in Quadrant-1 games the past two seasons. The definition of “Quad 1” is too long to get into here. Just know that they really matter when the selection committee starts picking NCAA Tournament teams in March.

The Gators are 0-3 in Quad 1 games this year, a mark that includes a three-point loss to Virginia and a four-point loss to Baylor. A win by any points over Kentucky would have been Quad-riffic for UF.

That 61.5% chance of winning looked prescient in the first half. Kentucky likes to play at a scorching pace, and the Gators showed they could play that style.

There’s a lot to like about Golden’s second team at UF, starting with the backcourt of Zyon Pullin and Walter Clayton Jr., who each finished with 23 points. But just about every SEC team has a solid guard or two. Calipari said what separates UF from other teams is its frontcourt depth.

Tyreese Samuel, Micah Handlogten, Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh are board-bangers. Throw in some home-court mojo, like banking in two 3-point shots, and UF had a 45-37 halftime lead.

The Wildcats got their act together in the second half, but Florida still had a 76-74 lead with 3:10 left. Then it went scoreless for almost three minutes. Really good teams make big shots in big moments. They also don’t miss 11 of 29 free throws.

“We had some wide-open catch-and-shoot 3s we’ve got to make if you want to win a game like that,” Golden said. “Maybe tightened up a bit.”

Kentucky did not. Especially 7-foot-1 freshman Aaron Bradshaw, who hit a killer 3-pointer with 1:27 left.

“I find it real, real gratifying,” he said. “It was real fun playing in front of them and against them.”

He also noted, “That’s a really good team.”

The SEC has plenty of good teams, however, like Ole Miss. The Rebels are 13-1 and will play host to Florida Wednesday night.
One game into the conference schedule, we know the Gators are good. We also know that being good isn’t good enough.”

“Representing a major departure from the debut style, these jerseys boasted a brand new color scheme and design aesthetic. While only lasting 2 seasons, they represent an extremely unique take on jersey design style when compared with other examples from Hawks history.”
