Probably the biggest basketball game in Columbia this year.

8:00 on ESPN

I was at the game last night with really nice seats. 5 rows up behind Florida's basket during the second half. (Awesome time, btw. The Golden Girls were right in front of me the whole game, which enhanced my fan experience significantly.) One thing I don't quite understand. When Bell was shooting his FTs with 3.1 left, Pressey, LBo and Rosario were all three camped out underneath Florida's basket. Pressey and Bowers were already congratulating each other; hugging and hi-fiving etc. When Florida inbounded the ball, there was literally only one guy back in a position to hit a 3 (Rosario), whom Phil was standing right next to during Bell's FTs. Why the **** was Phil so late in rotating over to cover him, he was right there!?!? IIRC, Rosario had a really nice look. I guess my question is, WTF was Phil doing?

That was definitely way too clean of a look for as little time was left. Could have bit them big time.

Rosario already had like 15, so Phil's just going to forget to guard him? Not surprising.

I thought it was pretty funny when a group of UCF fans tailgating yelled "black and gold baby" at us when we were walking to the stadium. Apparently they didn't know those were Mizzou's colors, even though I was wearing a black shirt with gold writing on it. It didn't seem like many UCF fans went to the bowl game in St Pete when I went there. I'm sure they would probably travel better when they play USF or UF.

UCF & USF fans are clueless. They try to talk trash but it's weak and even if it was quality no one would take it seriously anyway.

The UCF fans kind acted like douches when I saw MU play there a few weeks before that game. I think over time the only SEC team I'll have a real dislike for will be Arkansas.

And FTR - I can't wait to kick the snot out of the hogs on Saturday after the way they punked us a few weeks ago.

Perhaps Pressey was making sure he did not foul? The last of couple of games had been rough on Mizzou official wise, I could see an emphasis by Haith to not foul on a 3 pt shot to give them the chance to tie.

Georgia.

You will come to hate Georgia. Imagine taking Arkansas fans and given them just a taste of success, so they think they're on par with Alabama.

You now have Georgia fans.

Like many, I also despised Florida and generally though of Georgia folks as mostly harmless. It's taken me one season in the SEC to realize that I hate Arkansas with the heat of 1,000 suns and that my disdain for Georgia isn't much less. From there I could probably live without LSU fans, Auburn fans and Bama fans, in that order.
