Gator Basketball @ Alabama

Florida Gators at Alabama Crimson Tide, Feb 4, 2010 7:00 PM EST

The Gators challenge tonight is more than just winning on the road. But the Gators (15-6, 4-3 SEC) have to figh off the hangover of losing by one point at Tennessee.

Alabama (13-8, 3-4) plays stout defense but does not have the offense to match the Gators. Rebuilding with former UF assistant Anthony Grant, Bama is recovering after their own one point loss to Auburn. JaMychal Green is averaging 15 points and 7 boards, and will cause problems for Vernon "I can't rebound" Macklin and Alex Tyus. Mikhail Torrance is a bigger guard (6-foot-5), but Erving Walker and Kenny Boynton can still get their points.

Should be a good game. You summed us up pretty well. Stout D thanks to Coach Grant but not enough offensive talent to give us any margin for error against good teams.

Gators are more talented and have had the better season so far, but in college basketball it’s always tough to win on the road.

Regardless of what happens tonight, we’ll be pulling for you to get back to the Dance this year and give the SEC an extra team.

Yea I guess

My ESPN app went off, dana NA dana NA.

But it wasnt on TV, not where I am at least. I guess Walker hit a jumper with 11 seconds left.

Take that Bama! Pay back!

werner for mvp

dan werner just looks scared and confused whenever the ball comes his way. i know he has been on the team for what, 8 or 9 years now?and that was a pretty heads up volleyball strike to run out the clock, but come on, he is playing terrible. hell, as awkward and opie as murphy is, id rather see him in to get some experience.
